Overview
Explore the West Berlin haunts of legendary writers Joseph Roth, Walter Benjamin, Vicki Baum, Irmgard Keun and many others, and learn more about the history and impact of Berlin literature. This tour visits the sites of legendary bars and café when the area around Ku’damm was the epicentre of Berlin publishing in the Weimar Republic and the stories of those who frequented them, and loops back through Kantstrasse in the 1960s and 1980 when the area again was home to a new generation of writing rebels escaping conservative West Germany to the frontier city of Berlin. Ever wanted to know why Kurt Tucholsky had a “book bar” and where Jörg Fauser went to bed with Kommune 1?
