Ein alter Schlüssel dringt in eine abstrahierte Form eines Schlüssellochs ein. Die Form des Schlüssellochs ist gefüllt mit einer alten Karte, die das Scheunenviertel zeigt.
Ten permanent street markers will be installed in the Scheunenviertel (Barn Quarter) – including on Gormannstraße, Rosenthaler Straße, and Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz. The street names appear in Yiddish script, supplemented by explanations and QR codes.
Visitors can access the interactive website www.jewishmitteberlin.de via the QR codes. A digital map highlights approximately 40 Jewish sites, institutions, biographies, and historical events, such as the Scheunenviertel pogrom of 1923. A glossary complements the site.
Thematic tours, narrated by Mascha Kaléko, Alexander Granach, and Regina Jonas, guide visitors through the quarter. The project thus connects a physical and a digital landscape of remembrance.
Especially in a neighborhood where there are currently few Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) and hardly any visible memorials, the project creates new points of reference within the urban space. Aimed at a broad, bilingual audience, this event invites participants to rediscover the Jewish-migrant history of a neighborhood often perceived today as lacking historical context.
