About this Event
Come along for a guided tour of Northern Neukölln! Next date: 11 October @14:00
Neukölln has been shaped by generations of newcomers. Each wave of migration has left its mark, creating a neighbourhood rich in stories, cultural influences, and contradictions. Today, Neuköllner:innen can live side by side and have completely different ideas about what Neukölln is, and what it is becoming. On this tour, we will:
- Discuss the many histories of migration that shaped current northern Neukölln
- Visit the old village of Rixdorf and the green heart of the Kiez
- Discover the origins of some of your favourite hangout spots in northern Neukölln
- Stories and recommendations from a full-time Neukölln enthusiast!
Hi there! I am Niels. As an experienced city guide (and full-time Neukölln enthusiast!), I take my visitors on a journey exploring the many layers of North Neukölln through public art, local history, architecture, and everyday life. Along the way, participants discover how former industrial sites became creative hubs, how various communities of migrants have created a home for themselves, and how different generations continue to share and reshape the district. It offers a deeper understanding of the forces transforming the neighbourhood today, highlighting the voices that are often overlooked in conversations about urban change. Along the way, you will learn how some of Neukölln’s most popular gathering places came to be and see the familiar in a new light.
We will meet on the steps in front of Rathaus Neukölln. The tour will begin promptly at the designated time so please arrive on time. We will not be using public transport and the tour will be fully on foot.
