Approx. 2h The tour runs from Alexanderplatz through the Scheunenviertel to Sophiensæle, following the places of the “Nameless” from Nestervals Eldorado. In the 1920s, workers and Jewish migrants from Eastern Europe lived here in close quarters; the district was a centre of Jewish life and of nightlife. After 1933 it became a target of raids and Nazi propaganda. At the center of the tour is the queer history of the district, interwoven with Jewish history, persecution and forced labor. Stops include the police headquarters on Alexanderplatz, Grenadierstraße, cinemas and bars, and the assembly camp on Große Hamburger Straße. Among the stories told is that of Gad Beck—Jewish, gay and part of the resistance. Many of these stories survive only in the files of their persecutors. The tour also asks what is missing. Concept: Elias Capelle, Gisa Fellerer, Stefanie Hauser, Heinrich Horwitz Tour: Elias Capelle, Stefanie Hauser A production by Sophiensæle. Media partners: Missy Magazine, Siegessäule, taz.
