David Bowie's West Berlin Landmarks
Connect with your tour guide at the meeting point to start the program.
Begin by visiting the Berlin Wall on Niederkirchner Strasse to see one of the three locations where longer stretches of the former Wall are still visible. Learn the history behind its construction, the division of the city in 1945, and what it was like to live in a divided city.
Then, head to Hansa Studios, one of the world's most famous and legendary music recording studios. Bowie may have been the first world-famous international artist to work here, but he certainly wasn't the last.
Next, continue to Potsdamer Platz, a location symbolic of the Cold War and the divided city. Here, see where the infamous death strip once stood, learn what it looked like, and discover how it may have influenced Bowie's creative process.
Afterwards, proceed to Bowie's former home, a spacious apartment in an unassuming building that he called home between 1976 and 1978.
Lastly, go to Anderes Ufer, a gay bar located next to Bowie's former home, where he regularly went for a nightcap. You can do the same.
Tour ends.
