MITTEndrin – In the heart of Berlin - A tour full of contrasts between alternative and fancy The discrepancies in Berlin's geographical center couldn't be more striking. Directly next to modern architecture you find decrepit facades. Dropouts meet night owls, revellers and flaneurs. Commercial galleries and expensive boutiques stand in contrast to nonconformist art centers, like the ruins of the “Tacheles” and the “House Schwarzenberg”. Let's jointly discover this special neighbourhood right in the city's center, where the differences are just as fascinating as the traces of Jewish life which we will encounter again and again on this tour. The tour is also offered in English and in French. - Kreuzberg colourful and unruly The colourful and unruly district Kreuzberg is the theme of our walk. In this particular neighbourhood we will visit places that point a finger at the washed-up redevelopment policy of the 70s and 80s and that tell us of battles fought by Kreuzberg's residents in order to determine their living spaces autonomously. The tour also leads us to prominent scenes of the legendary demonstrations traditionally held on May 1. We will show you that Kreuzberg is not only the habitat of those who are truculent and wild, but that it is also a biotope for those who are creative and constructive, and a place that offers a very lively culture and music scene. The tour is also offered in English and in French. The scar in the city – A tour along the Wall far off the beaten tracks Where exactly did the Wall stand and what is left of it? What events marked the time before and after the so-called “Wende”, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the German reunification? What personal experiences do the Berliners connect with the division of their city. These and many other questions shall be explored on our tour through the frontier zone between the districts Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg and Treptow. In doing so, certain aspects of Berlin's history will come to life again and enlighten how the Wall changed and shaped the life of the Berliners, in the eastern as well as in the western part of the city. The tour is also offered in English and in French. Kreuzberg 61 – Urban district with charm and flair Our tour through Kreuzberg 61 is going to be a very leisurely and sometimes even romantic promenade. Together we will climb the highest mountain of the inner city and disclose the secret of the Berlin Vatican. In an inner courtyard, totally out of character for Berlin, the surrounding city is forgotten for a wile. A cosy 19th-century market hall invites to go shopping like in former times. And who believes that one can dander only in Paris, is grossly mistaken! Together we will discover the Champs-Élysées of Kreuzberg. Come with us and let yourself be guided to surprising and unexpected places in Kreuzberg where time seems to have stood still. The tour is also offered in English. X-berg day - A voyage into the multicultural Berlin(Time duration incl. meal: 4 – 4.5 hours) What images of Kreuzberg have been conveyed to you by the media? Is it known to you as a troublesome hot spot, a district of riots, as Turk-town or a location for drug trafficking? We want to show you how Kreuzberg really is. Together we will walk through the legendary SO 36, Berlin's “Little-Istanbul”, visit the Kreuzberg Museum, and learn a lot about the history of immigration and how people with different national backgrounds live together. The tour is also offered in English and Turkish. Moving Religions - an interreligious tour through the Schillerkiez in Neukölln Sometimes religions hide away in inconspicuous places. Together with you we want to follow the three monotheist world religions (Islam, Christianity and Judaism) through the Schillerkiez in Neukölln. We will show you every day religious lives of former and todays residents. Thereby you will discover how an old Synagogue became a church. You will learn what kind of extra schools Jewish and Muslim children have to visit and where you can buy a fashionable headscarf. In the interreligious center of a parish we will show you the similarities and differences of the religions. Why of all places Prenzlauer Berg? - A tour about luck seekers and hipsters
