Berlin · QUEER BERLIN TOURS
Schoneberg was the centre of queer life in Weimar Berlin and the city never entirely lost it. These 4 tours cover the bars, the memorials and the history, priced and timed.
Join Tobias for a 2.5-hour English or German walk around Schöneberg’s Nollendorfplatz. Visit former sites such as the Nationalhof and El Dorado, see Christopher Isherwood’s former home, and connect interwar Berlin with today’s queer neighborhood.
“Our tour guide was awesome and his knowledge is incredible.”
Join a small group of up to 15 people for a 3.5-hour English walking tour of Berlin’s queer past and present. Guides such as Finn, Mal, Lorna, Tom, and Trevor have led sessions covering Marlene Dietrich, Christopher Isherwood, Südblock, famous clubs, and the Schwules Museum*.
“After reading the book Gay Berlin, I felt the tour was not worth the money. However, with that being said, anyone who hasn't read the book would definitely get a lot out of the tour. Our guide Finn, was very knowledgeable and carried around and iPad to show reference of persons or original places as we went along the tour.”
Spend 3.5 hours tracing queer Berlin with an English or German guide. Walk through Schöneberg and Tiergarten, see the former Eldorado, learn about Magnus Hirschfeld, and connect figures from Friedrich the Great to Klaus Wowereit with the city’s LGBTQIA+ story.
“Beth did an awesome job!!! Went over some history and current queer Berlin.”
Join guide Jeff for a 3.5-hour, English-language walk through Berlin’s queer and trans history. With an iPad, AR photos, films, and 200-plus archival images, you’ll connect sites from Karl Heinrich Ulrichs to Metropol in a group capped at 10.
“We go on lots of walking tours in different cities and covering different themes, and i can honestly say that this is one of the best i've ever been on. Jeff really knows his subject so well, and brought it to life with an engaging manner and interesting details. The photos, videos, and clever 'augmented reality' feature (where he was able to display historical photographs in the place we were now, and combine them with group photos of the tour group) were really cool, and really added to the experience. I really recommend this tour!”
