🌞Summer in Berlin

🌉One of the most often cited fun facts about Berlin: it has more bridges than Venice! Not too surprising given Berlin's size, but still cool! With 180 kilometers of waterways and many lakes, Berlin does have a lot of water for a land-locked city. 🌊

One of our favorite spots to cycle by is the Oberbaumbrücke over the river Spree. The Spree flows right through the center of Berlin, offering great places to relax by the water in the summer. 😎

Join us for a ride and explore Berlin’s riverside views! 🚴‍♂️🤩 And share your favourite Berlin summer spot in the comments!

Last winter we did a very special tour with one of our own. ✨

Our guide Brendan is an expert on Weimar-era Berlin and took us on a walk through "Isherwood's Berlin". The British writer Christopher Isherwood lived in Berlin in the "Roaring Twenties" and wrote about them in his diaries and novels. They later inspired the famous Broadway musical and movie "Cabaret".📖🎭

On his tour Brendan took us through Isherwood's neighbourhood in Schöneberg and told us about this time full of contradictions, between inflation, street violence, rampant poverty and Berlin's dazzling night club scene. 🌃🍸

Brendan wrote an article about 1920s' Berlin and his tour over on our blog. Please check it out! 👉

📌The "Isherwoods Berlin Tour" takes place every Saturday at 11.00h. Info how to book is in the blog article.

⚫The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe aka Holocaust Memorial is the central memorial in Germany to commemorate the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust.

After long debates about the need for a central memorial it was inaugurated in May 2005 just 300 metres away from Brandenburg Gate.🏛️

The memorial consists of 2710 stelae with varying heights between 0.2 and 4.7 metres, while their bases have the same size. The ground beneath the stelae is not straight but wave-like and the stelae are slightly askew.😵‍💫

The memorial's architect Peter Eisenman called it a "place of no meaning".❌

🛈Beneath the field of stelae you can find an information centre with an exhibition about the Holocaust. We visit the memorial on our Berlin Highlights Bike Tour, where you can hear more about it and walk inside to experience it.

❓How did you experience the Holocaust Memorial?

On this day 156 years ago Magnus Hirschfeld was born, he died in 1935 on the same day.

👨🏻‍⚕️Hirschfeld was a doctor and one of the first and most influential sexologists world-wide. In 1919 he founded the Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin, the first of its kind in the world. He also founded the first organisation that campaigned to decriminalise homosexuality. The institute did research, education and treatment on various topics regarding sexuality and gender and became a safe haven for q***r people. 🌈

🎯Hirschfeld and the institute were targeted by the far-Right early on, he was physically attacked several times. The institute was destroyed by N***s in May 1933, the extensive library burnt during the book burnings on Bebelplatz on 10 May 1933. Hirschfeld travelled internationally as a celebrated lecturer and never returned to Germany before dying in exile.

Have you heard about Hirschfeld and his institute before?
