Our tours
Take a fresh look at well-known landmarks and explore traces of colonial history in Berlin’s cityscape. This tour of Berlin Mitte connects repressed colonial history with contemporary perspectives.
Nowhere else in Berlin are world-famous cultural treasures and colonial history so close together as on Museum Island. What do Berlin’s most famous museum artifacts really tell us? Come along and experience Museum Island from a new perspective. Using the bust of Nefertiti, the Pergamon Museum, Berlin Cathedral, and other historic sites as our starting points, we’ll explore the interconnections between art, cultural colonialism and power. You'll never walk into a museum the same way again.
Explore Berlin through the stories of courageous women, queer activists, and Black visionaries. Take a guided tour of Schöneberg and discover how figures like Audre Lorde, May Ayim, and Ika Hügel-Marshall changed Germany—and why their stories are more relevant today than ever.
Follow the traces of German colonialism in the African Quarter and discover stories of resistance, remembrance, and change. Learn more about the historical connections between the street names and the former German colonies. Discover a side of Berlin you’ve never seen before and understand why it remains important to this day.
The history of the GDR is often told through the lens of the Wall, socialism, and the state. But who tells the stories of the people who lived in the GDR as Black contract workers, students, or activists? On this bike tour, we’ll explore East Berlin from the perspectives of people of color and visit places where people lived, worked, built communities, and fought for visibility.
See Hamburg through a different lens: Behind the brick facades of the Speicherstadt lies a history that’s often left out of traditional city tours. How did Hamburg become one of Europe’s wealthiest trading cities, and what role did colonial goods, global trade networks, and power dynamics play in this? Instead of dry facts, you’ll encounter compelling stories, forgotten perspectives, and exciting “aha” moments.
