Now it’s time to head to the heart of Berlin’s ‘Rainbow District’ – Schöneberg.
A short walk away you will see where the Anglo-American author lived during the time he lived in Berlin, capturing the excitement and instability of ‘20s Berlin in the semi-autobiographical ‘Goodbye to Berlin’ and ‘Mr Norris Changes Trains’.
Next we see where Bowie lived during the time he spent in Berlin in the late 1970s, composing his ‘Berlin Trilogy’ with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti.
Time will then be taken to visit one of the city’s oldest gay and trans bars and hear about the queer scene at the height of the hedonistic 1920s.
Our final stop is the Gay Museum in Kreuzberg, one of the world’s largest institutions for researching, preserving and communicating the history and culture of queer communities.
