Tour durch das Berlin der 20er Jahre

Time Travel Through Sinful Berlin of the Weimar Republic

In 1920s Berlin, everything seemed possible: sinful nightlife, gigantic entertainment venues, but also cultural awakening. Precisely this tension makes a tour through 1920s Berlin so worthwhile. Guided city tours and walks trace this era, lead to the most diverse corners of the metropolis, and follow in the footsteps of great names like Josephine Baker, Erich Kästner, and Bertolt Brecht. Those expecting parents or grandparents in Berlin will get a program that goes far beyond classic sightseeing.

The tours lead to original locations, from Kurfürstendamm and Tauentzien, through the notorious entertainment district at Nollendorfplatz, along Potsdamer Straße and across Potsdamer Platz, to Friedrichstraße and hidden corners in Berlin-Mitte. Not only are places shown, but layers of the city’s history are uncovered. The art and cultural scene of the 1920s was dazzling, critical, and political; in glamorous variety theaters and notorious dance halls, the city lived the awakening that made this decade so special.

Activity with Parents: History That Is Truly Told

What makes this activity with parents and relatives special is the combination of personal stories and grand history. Renowned architects such as Walter Gropius or the brothers Max and Bruno Taut planned entire city districts in the style of Modernism and New Objectivity back then. Such backgrounds give a stroll through today’s city a completely different depth. Even today, the nightlife of the 1920s is part of Berlin’s cultural DNA, and well-known places like the Volksbühne or Clärchens Ballhaus bear witness to that era. Thus, a shared afternoon turns into a conversation that continues even after the tour.
