The biggest event in Berlin in March, the ITB, had to be cancelled and the Travel Festive was also postponed. Nevertheless, we are happy about the warmer days and look forward to the many exciting events in the capital. Berlin in spring is always worth a visit.
Overview on March
Tip 1: Metropolis Berlin - City of Women
Readings, concerts, comedy, workshops, discussions and guided tours: For this year's Frauenmärz (Women's March), the district Tempelhof-Schöneberg invites to an event almost daily. Under the title Metropolis Berlin - City of Women, the focus this time is on the 1920s and women's path to more education, emancipation and freedom. Among other things, Kerstin Ehmer will read from her 20s thriller "The Black Fairy", on March 17th Gayle Tufts will share her insights and views on her life as an American in Berlin, and in a workshop for the special exhibition "Behind the Camera" you will get to know the life and work of the ten Jewish photographers presented. There will also be a lot of music, poetry, slam nights and of course politically engaged tours and discussions. It is worth taking a look at the program. Admission is free!

Tip 3: LCD Berlin Award: „Bridging Borders“
The first edition of the LCD Berlin Awards is accompanied by an audience award, called: “Best Cultural Initiative: Bridging Borders”. The prize is awarded to a cultural initiative that helps to promote intercultural dialogue and overcome boundaries. The nominees are the Berlin Barenboim-Said Academy and the Teeter-Totter Wall, an installation of three steel posts converted into seesaws connecting people on both sides of the border fence between the USA and Mexico. Feel free to cast your vote!
Tip 4: MaerzMusik – Festival for Time Issues
The MaerzMusik-Festival takes you on a journey through space and time. The theme is also the subjective perception of time.

Can you hear it ticking?

Admission, guided tours and films on the subject are free of charge.
