Overview

This tour takes you back to the West-Berlin of the 1970s by highlighting the massive changes Berlin has undergone since. By doing so the tour traces sites and places that Bowie sings about in his 2012 elegiac homage to Berlin, "Where are We Now?". Starting at Potsdamer Platz, we will then walk over to Hansa Studios. From there, we'll board the train to take us to the City West. After checking out Zoo Station we'll head towards the erstwhile location of the famous "Dschungel" followed by the KaDeWe - both of which Bowie frequently visited and therefore references in his song. Next, we'll board the train again to take a look at the gay bar Bowie used to have his nightcap in, before concluding our tour outside the building he used to call home between 1976 and 1978.

Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten

The notorious Christiane F. was a huge David Bowie fan. Along with her friends she hung about Zoo Station, which back in the day, was a dingy place indeed. Times have changed! In the movie based on her book, Bowie's music can be heard throughout as he provided the soundtrack, or rather, allowed the producer and the director to use his songs.

Hauptstraße 155

Bowie's former home! Here's your chance to take a good look at the building Bowie called his home for almost 3 years between 1976 and 1978. There are always flowers or candles, etc. outside placed on a ledge, a ledge that is part of this turn-of-the-century building, so as if the building's architect had known, that about 70 years later a famous musician would one day live here, for fans and admirers to pay their respects!
