Zehlendorf is considered by many to be a green, quiet district – but traces of Germany’s colonial past can also be found here. On our decolonial tour, we want to make this history visible and ask ourselves:

What colonial interconnections still shape the district today?

How is colonial heritage manifested in public spaces – in street names, monuments or places of remembrance?

And how can we work together to create a decolonial culture of remembrance?

Together, we will explore various locations in Zehlendorf, hear stories of resistance and colonial violence, and discuss perspectives on a more equitable narrative of history. The tour invites participants to think, ask questions and learn together.

Decolonial city tours in Berlin impart knowledge about German colonial history and show how its legacy continues to shape our society and city today. The tours invite participants to reveal colonial continuities in urban spaces – individually, in teams or in organisations – and offer personal, flexible and impressive learning experiences.
