An exciting WALKING TOUR through Berlin’s Music Scene from Prenzlauer Berg to Mitte district

In addition to our big Bus Tours, Special Tours and visits at Hansa Studios we also do offer the Music Tours as a Walking Tour. We check out Berlin’s neighbourhoods by foot from a musical point of view.

Topic

During this tour we discover Prenzlauer Berg district and walk down to Hackescher Markt at Mitte district. We start in front of “Kesselhaus” on inner court yard of Kulturbrauerei Berlin Prenzlauer Berg and head over to Kastanienallee and Zionskirchplatz, crossing Schönhauser Allee and Torstraße, pass little alleyways in Mitte district and finally end the tour at Hackescher Markt.

There will be lots of watching and walking - please bring good shoes/ no flip flops!

Many german artists and also various international musicians left their footsteps in this neighbourhood and are part of the tour:

Rammstein, Beatsteaks, Modeselektor, Nina Hagen, Paul Kalkbrenner, Seeed, Sido, Wim Wenders, Ritchie Hawtin, Apparat, Ellen Alien, Westbam, Fran Healy of Travis, MIA., Maximilian Hecker, Wir sind Helden, Peter Fox and many more.

The Walking Tour deals also with very young and fresh bands and musicians coming to Berlin currently to try out their luck. Many careers started already “on the streets” - so keep your ears and eyes open during the tour!

Kesselhaus

Our meeting point - Kesselhaus - a former boiler house inside the old Berlin „Schultheiss” brewery in the 1850’s – nowadays is one of the most important concert locations in the city. Reams of bands and artists have played here like Rammstein, The Hives, The Killers, Laibach, Green Day, Kaiser Chiefs, Linkin Park, Leningrad Cowboys, Paul van Dyk and many others.

On the road

We check out Zionskirche (Church Zion) from a musical point of view and have a look at Berlin Punk Rock Lady Nina Hagen’s old apartment and neighbourhood. Club legends like Kaffee Burger or former clubs like White Trash Fast Food, the Eimer or Delicious Doughnuts (home base of Berlin’s famous Jazzanova collective) are documented - many good clubs in this area have been kicked meanwhile and turned into something “very chic”.   

Of course we don’t want to give away the whole tour route and content, but we also talk about the massive house squatting in the early 90’s in this area and the colourful punk rock scene in former East-Berlin. Out of this scene for instance Rammstein were formed.

With a small jump through the backyards we end the walk at busy Hackescher Markt area.
