Probably no other neighborhood in Berlin has undergone as much change in recent years as the streets and squares around the Kulturbrauerei in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district. But if you look closely, you will still discover exciting traces of its GDR past here and there.

These are to be explored together as part of the new offer at the museum in the Kulturbrauerei: What are the names of the two famous East Berlin traffic light men? How did people get by when their parents' old apartment on Kollwitzplatz had no shower? And to what extent was recycling already an important topic for children in the GDR?

These and other questions are the focus of the neighborhood walk. At various stations, you will learn how life in the neighborhood was shaped during the division of Germany and what challenges children in the GDR had to face in their everyday lives.
