How did the bear end up on Berlin’s coat of arms? And who is “Kaak”? There’s plenty to learn on this family tour.

Der „Kaak“ ziert sowohl die originale Gerichtslaube des ehemaligen Berliner Rathauses im Schlosspark Babelsberg (im Bild) als auch deren Nachbau im Berliner Nikolaiviertel.
Together, everyone will go on an exploration tour through the Nikolaiviertel. There, you’ll meet the Berlin bear and hear how a giant’s rib ended up in Berlin. You’ll get to know the Paddenwirt, find out what his name means, and make the acquaintance of “Kaak.” A visit to the dragon slayer Georg is also on the agenda, as is a detour to Berlin’s shortest street.
