Discover women’s history(ies) from Friedrichshain
In Friedrichshain, only a few commemorative plaques and street names honour women from history. But why do some stories remain visible, whilst others are scarcely passed on? This two-hour guided tour through the Nordkiez explores precisely this question.

Together, participants will visit both well-known and unassuming places and explore the lives of women whose stories have been passed down in very different ways: through personal memories, archives or works of art.
The tour combines local history with the question of how memory is formed and who decides which stories remain visible to this day.
Rather than focusing on famous figures, the tour centres on women who were closely connected to the neighbourhood and whose life stories offer new perspectives on Friedrichshain.
The guided tour is aimed at anyone who would like to get to know the neighbourhood beyond the familiar narratives. No prior knowledge is required.
