"Night, Tauentzien, Cocaine. That's Berlin," the Russian poet Andrei Bely once exclaimed. Arne Krasting's latest tour takes you to the West this time.
In the 1920s, it was the hub of nightlife; it was where the proverbial fast pace dominated; it was where Berliners sought momentary excitement. Here, famous personalities would take a dip in a café pool. Marlene Dietrich celebrated her most significant triumphs, Josephine Baker demonstrated to Berliners the essence of allure, and Erich Kästner discovered the backdrops for his novel *Emil*. This area also boasted cinemas, theatres, and dance halls. Many remnants of this glittery era are still visible today. The tour concludes with a special treat: a glass of bubbly in the former living room of the era’s most renowned silent film star, Asta Nielsen. Arne Krasting is a specialist on the 1920s.
