Discover the Berlin neighbourhood Friedenau Landhauskolonie and learn more about the literary figures and authors who lived here, as well as about the political extremes in this small-town idyll.
Friedenau was founded in 1874 and in the bourgeois idyll of small country villas and old buildings with worth seeing Jugendstil facades and front gardens lived in the past 100 years successful authors, famous painters and sculptors as well as politicians of all colours.
Learn more about the expressionists Kirchner, Schmidt-Rottluff, Otto Müller, Ludwig Meidner and Hans Baluschek, who painted in imaginatively furnished rooftop studios, as well as about the sculptors' courtyard, which was nicknamed Klein-Carrar. Admire Kolbe's sculptures in the Ceciliengärten housing estate and learn why an illustrious crew of German-language authors moved to the neighbourhood in the late 1960s and '70s, drinking and discussing in "literary pubs and clubs."
But the small-town idyll is misleading, because politically it was often turbulent here: listen to stories about the RAF, Rosa Luxemburg, Hermann Göring, Goebbels and Theodor Heuss, as well as the political resistance of the Red Chapel. Finally, visit Marlene, Helmut Newton and Jeanne Mammen at their final resting place: Friedenau Cemetery.
