Guided tour with historian Hans-Michael Schulze
The leading members of the GDR government such as Wilhelm Pieck, Walter Ulbricht and Otto Grotewohl lived in the immediate vicinity of Schönhausen Palace on the Mayakowskiring.
From 1949 to 1960, the oval street enclosed by a board fence, colloquially known as the "little town", was the exclusive residential area for top GDR politicians.
The guided tour through Mayakovskiring introduces the most important villas and explains the political significance of the SED political celebrities who once lived there.
