Podcast Tour Berlin Kreuzberg uncensored Empire and Punk
See more
Discover the hidden layers of Berlin's most legendary neighborhood. This is not a stroll to hip cafes and street art; it is a deep dive into a city that has been built, destroyed, divided, and revived through squatting. From the imperial splendor of the 19th century to the death strip of the Cold War, and from the radical punk resistance of the 80s to today's complex gentrification – you will see how Kreuzberg became a 'palimpsest': a manuscript that was repeatedly overwritten. Accompany Max and the local expert Marta as they decode the scars on the buildings and the soul of the streets.
