Colorful Wedding: Discover art, culture & creativity in the old working-class district
Hi, I am Thea, a real Berliner who was born in East-Berlin in the 80s! I want to show you the non-touristy parts of the town which are still flying under the radar (i.e. Wedding, Marzahn, Lichtenberg). Of course a tour in my home area Prenzl`Berg should not be missing - after all, my childhood stories are all from there :)
Pickup
The meeting point is at the rear exit of Wedding S-Bahn station, exit Reinickendorfer Straße. I'll be standing right at the exit, at the foot of the stairs.
Description
Wedding – Creative diversity in the old working-class district
Wedding became known as a working-class district in the 19th century and has seen a lot since then. Come along and see how the area has changed over the past 150 years and how old factories and buildings from that era are now being used for art and creativity.
No district is as underrated as Wedding, which is so vibrant, authentic, full of contrasts and has so much to offer!
