Tour: KW, a hike

The institution’s history is inextricably linked to that of its neighbourhood, the surrounding streets and its buildings. To understand the KW’s historical connections, we set off on a walk past boarded-up buildings, underground car parks, distant domes covering burial chambers, communist clubhouses and the courtyard of a collector who lives in a former nationalised factory. The view of a distant high-rise, which looms over the relics of the Soviet era on Alexanderplatz, marks the end of the tour through the streets neighbouring KW.

• The guided tours take place alternately in English and German.
