The audio tour presents places and actors of the March Revolution in Berlin with texts and illustrations and takes a look at the social situation of the Berliners at that time. The following people have their say or are described: Chroniclers, contemporary witnesses, fighters and victims on both sides of the barricades with their respective local references.
The tour leads from "In den Zelten" (In the Tents) in Tiergarten, the entertainment district outside the city at the time, where the first demands were formulated, to the Cemetery of the March Fallen in Friedrichshain. This also roughly corresponds to the chronological course of events. The tour condenses - as does the battle - in the area between Unter den Linden and Alexanderplatz.
With 37 stations, the tour takes a little more than two hours, depending on individual speed. However, anyone who wants to can also watch or listen to the audio tour from other locations of their choice.
