Free Tour through the center of socialist Berlin through its architecture
Tour description
In this tour we will visit THE OTHER CENTER OF BERLIN . We will see what was once the nerve center of socialist Berlin and which, today, has been forgotten.
This tour is full of contrasts, just like Berlin. We will travel to the past and the present, even to the future! We will see huge and rough constructions, but, at the same time, vulnerable and sober.
We will visit emblematic buildings : brutalists, imperialists, socialist modernists, socialist realists, functionalists, etc.
These buildings will explain the history of a city that, even now, is divided. They will help us understand why Berlin is so full of chiaroscuro and, ultimately, why the city is so special.
It is an opportunity for all those who, like me, are passionate about history, art and architecture.
