Is Northern Germany well worth visiting in its own right then?

These photos are taken in Neukölln, not too far from my hotel, which is in the heart of the Turkish immigrant part of the city. I went in the supermarket across the road there but it was so impossibly busy that I wasn't able to buy anything without having to wait half an hour to get out of there. A pity, actually, as everything was inexpensive compared to the rest of Berlin:
