SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Red Wedding on the march
DESCRIPTION:Wedding was once Berlin’s most left-wing district. In the German elections of November 6\, 1932\, 47.1% of Weddingers voted for the communists. Wedding had tenements and terrible poverty\, but also reform schools\, socialist art\, and a proud proletarian culture. On May 1\, 1929\, Kösliner Straße — the reddest street in Berlin’s reddest district — saw the worst police violence in Berlin’s history. \nOur tour will walk along a stream (the Panke) and look at the origins of Red Wedding: how it grew from a spa town outside Berlin into an urban industrial neighborhood. We will see massive factories — some of which have been converted into art spaces. We will follow the footsteps of the communist doctor Georg Benjamin (the little brother of Walter) who worked to improve the lives of Wedding’s working class. \nOur tour will be meeting at Badstraße 38\, right where Badstraße crosses the Panke\, a few minutes from U-Bhf Pankstraße. We will meet at 14:00 and leave by 14:10. We will walk along the river and the tour will end two hours later near S-Bhf Humboldthain. The tour will be entirely outside. \nSuggested donation is 15 euros per person\, but any contribution is appreciated and none is required. You can also pick up a signed copy of the book “Revolutionary Berlin” which we reviewed here. \nThis walking tour is part of the mobilization against the planned weapons factory in Wedding.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial
DESCRIPTION:Please note that\, by popular demand\, this tour will now be starting (and finishing) 2 hours later than originally scheduled. We will now be meeting at 11.30am at Gesundbrunnen station\, platform 9. \nNazism did not emerge out of thin air. It was not a historical “accident\,” nor the product of a uniquely evil rupture disconnected from the rest of European history. This guided visit to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial approaches Nazism through the longer histories of colonialism\, imperialism\, scientific racism\, social Darwinism\, eugenics\, and racial capitalism that shaped the modern world long before 1933. \nTogether\, we will examine how European colonial violence laid ideological and institutional foundations that later reappeared inside Europe itself. We will discuss the origins of concentration camps in colonial contexts such as Spanish-ruled Cuba and British South Africa\, not to relativize Nazi crimes\, but to understand concentration camps as part of a broader history of imperial state violence. We will also reflect on genocide as a political category\, on why some genocides are memorialized while others are erased from dominant historical consciousness\, and on the role that racism played and continues to play in shaping who is considered fully human\, disposable\, or worthy of remembrance. \nThe visit will move through the historical context of World War I\, the Treaty of Versailles\, the economic and political crises of the 1920s\, and the rise and fall of the Nazis. At the memorial itself\, we will focus on the camp as a site initially designed to imprison and eliminate political opposition\, especially communists\, socialists\, trade unionists\, and other left-wing dissidents\, before later becoming a center of forced labor\, terror\, and systematic murder. We will also discuss how different political regimes\, including the Nazi state\, the GDR\, and the contemporary Federal Republic of Germany\, have each shaped the memorialization of the camp according to their own political priorities and narratives. \nOur guide holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a Master’s degree in Social Sciences from Humboldt University of Berlin. His areas of specialization are the history of racism\, colonialism\, genocide\, and political violence. For the past four years\, he has worked as a freelance guide at the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial and at other historical sites across Berlin. \nThis tour is organized as a political and educational initiative to raise funds to help subsidize buses to the demonstration against the AfD Conference in Erfurt on 4th July. Participation is free but we would welcome a donation (suggested amount: €20-€30) to help people who could not otherwise afford to attend the demonstration. No-one will be turned away from the tour because they don’t have the money. \nImportant information: \n\nThe visit lasts approximately 5 hours in total\, including travel time from Berlin and back.\nParticipants must purchase Berlin ABC train tickets in advance for both directions.\nThe bus connection between Oranienburg station and the memorial can be unreliable\, which may make participation difficult for people with limited mobility.\nSince there is no substantial break during the visit\, bringing water and a snack is strongly recommended.\nDue to memorial regulations\, the maximum group size is limited to 30 participants. To be sure of a place\, please register from this page. If you do register and find that you cannot come\, please let us know to allow other people to take part.
