Berlin Protest History Tour: Rebels, Resistance, and Revolution
Overview
Discover Berlin as a city of protest on this engaging walking tour through one of its most historic areas. Beginning at the Red Town Hall, we trace 800 years of history — from the Berlin Indignation of 1448 to the Peaceful Revolution of 1989. At Schlossplatz, see where the March Revolution of 1848 erupted, as citizens demanded civil rights and free elections, and fought Prussian troops on barricaded streets. At Rosenstraße, hear how German women stood up for their Jewish husbands in 1943, staging the only public protest against the Final Solution. In Alexanderplatz, uncover how demonstrations in 1989 swelled into the largest protest in East German history, leading to the fall of the Wall.
- Trace 800 years of Berlin’s history in one compact area
- Discover four key protests that shaped the city’s destiny
- See iconic landmarks including the Berlin Palace, Red Town Hall, and TV Tower
