Guided Tour of the Berlin Wall in the Alt-Treptow Neighborhood

At the border of the districts Alt-Treptow, Neukölln, and Kreuzberg, you can find authentic traces and remains of the "Anti-Fascist Protection Wall" in the former death strip—away from the well-known tourist routes. Not easy to find unless you know where to look…

Discover history while it still exists!

Unstoppably, grass is covering the concrete foundations. Fences of the hinterland wall and border markings are disappearing into the bushes. Lamp posts that once illuminated the death strip still remain in the streetscape. Not easy to find unless you know where to look…

Discover the story while it still exists!

Using old photos shown during the tour, you can compare the past with the present and get an idea of what life was like along the former border area. The walk starts at the Watchtower in Schlesischer Busch Park, continues along the Landwehr Canal following the border between Kreuzberg and Alt-Treptow towards Neukölln, and ends at Elsenstraße (total length 2.2 km).

Meeting Point:
Watchtower in Schlesischer Busch Park, Puschkinallee 55, 12435 Berlin-Alt-Treptow
