Tracing Germany’s Colonial Past in the Urban Landscape
What do street names, monuments, and buildings in Berlin have to do with colonialism, resistance, and global inequality? The deSta – Decolonial City Tour in Schöneberg invites you to see the city center with new eyes – through the lens of colonial history and its lasting impact on the present.

Led by knowledgeable guides, the tour takes participants to selected sites such as the Reichstag building, Brandenburg Gate, and Wilhelmstraße – places where German colonial history is reflected in complex and often overlooked ways.
The focus is not only on historical facts, but also on current social issues such as memory culture, racism, and global justice. This tour is for anyone ready to question glorified cityscapes and bring marginalized voices to the forefront.
With space for dialogue, questions, and discussion, deSta combines education, empowerment, and a critical approach to experiencing the urban environment.
