Overview
Long before the shadow of National Socialism fell, in the 1920s, Berlin was a haven of freedom and the queer capital of the world. The Schöneberg neighborhood was the epicenter of a revolution of lesbian clubs, pioneering scientific activism, and cabaret artists who challenged gender norms every night on stage. A vibrant, avant-garde life that seemed unstoppable… until history took a drastic turn.
On this alternative, self-guided tour, we invite you on a human and dynamic journey to unearth the city’s hidden history.
What you’ll discover as you walk with us:
Resistance: The audacity of Lotte Hahm and her network of lesbian associations.
Pioneers: The legacy of Dora Richter and the first gender-affirming surgeries.
Free art: The world of Claire Waldoff singing in a suit and tie.
The Forbidden Map: The legendary Eldorado and Toppkeller. Today they’re supermarkets or empty lots, but their history lives on.
Perfect for curious minds eager to walk, listen, and discuss.
Limited spots! We keep groups small to encourage conversation and ensure an authentic experience. Secure your spot and discover the real Berlin!
