Exploring the Hidden Gems of Weißensee: A Unique Walking Tour in Berlin

Are you ready to discover a side of Berlin that's full of surprises? Look no further than the Weißensee district, a charming blend of history and modernity, waiting to be explored.

This unique walking tour invites visitors to slow down and look closer at every corner, as they journey through this lesser-known northeast neighbourhood. The tour begins at Caligariplatz, a vibrant square named after the famous Expressionist cinema, and ends at Mies-van-der-Rohe Haus (Oberseestr. 60).

Along the way, you'll encounter a riot of colours in the district's modern housing, as well as the serenity of enchanted lakes. The tour is designed to reveal the contrasts of Weißensee, where history meets modernity and serenity meets eccentricity.

Weißensee is primarily recognised for its eponymous art school, but the tour offers opportunities to discover more than just the art school. You'll meet the leader of the last Bauhaus, Hans-Rudolf Meier, a Swiss-German art historian and university professor at the Bauhaus University Weimar, on the hikes.

The tour also features fake Dutch facades and a garden pavilion designed by the last Bauhaus director. As you walk, you'll also have the chance to see traces of Weißensee's cinematic past.

This tour is a unique way to experience a side of Berlin that's often overlooked. Sign up for the tour via Eventbrite and get ready to uncover the stories hidden within Weißensee. It's a journey that promises to be full of surprises and memories that will last a lifetime.
