Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

We meet at Kotti (Kottbusser Tor) right in the centre of vibrant Kreuzberg. After a short introduction you will have a broad overview of the history and lifestyle of this special place in Berlin.

Kreuzberg was founded as a typical working class neighbourhood in the middle of the 19th century. The people always fell on hard times here. They lived in huge building complexes, some of them in the fifth or sixth backyard. We discover these places in Oranienstraße and try to imagine life back in the days, when it was almost imposible to breathe fresh air; when many people didn’t rent a whole flat or a room, but an 8 hours-stay on a matress.

Obviously, most people of the working class had (radical) left-wing views. So Kreuzberg logically turned into a critical neighbourhood with constant demonstrations – escalations included.

Your guide is looking forward to show you the most important historic places and will forge a bridge to today’s every-day life and style in modern Kreuzberg. This place is a melting-pot for people of all provenances, opinions, lifestyles, sexualities and incomes. On our way

through the streets and history of the quarter, we meet the former GDR traffic-light men, visit SO36, the place of May Day March demonstrations, listen to dramatic reports of attempts to escape GDR, remember Martin Luther King’s visit in 1964 – and we get to know Berlin’s Jack the Ripper.

In the meantime, we enjoy exquisit snacks in selected restaurants of the neighbourhood.

People who love to travel know, that discovering new countries and cultures unconditionally means trying the local food. And we prefer to try various dishes instead of one big meal! With this varied selection, we intent to represent Kreuzberg’s multicultural and innovative spirit. You will try original Berlin recipes, intercultural crossover dishes and international delicatessen. The way to your heart is through your stomach... So after three hours, you will see Kreuzberg from many different points of view. And you maybe understand, why Kreuzberg is the most vibrant place to be in Berlin.

After this culinaric and cultural experience, you are definatley prepared to start your next adventure in Kreuzberg and enjoy the glittering nightlife.
