Colonial traces in the heart of the capital
Experience Berlin from a new perspective! Our decolonial city tour in Berlin-Mitte invites you to look behind the facades of well-known sights and make the repressed colonial history visible.
This tour opens up colonial historical perspectives in Berlin-Mitte beyond the usual narratives. We combine historical facts with current debates about racism, the culture of remembrance and decolonization in the city.
This tour is for anyone interested in history, social contexts and new perspectives on the city. Whether you are a Berliner or a guest - this tour is guaranteed to leave you with lasting impressions.
Behind the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag & M******straße lies more than just tourist postcard motifs. Our decolonial city tour shows how deeply colonialism is still rooted in Berlin's cityscape today - and why it affects us all.
