The route, stop by stop

  1. Marmorhaus

    Marble doesn't survive by accident. This building did — and that's already a question worth sitting…

  2. Nikolaikirche

    The church you're looking at is nearly eight hundred years old. Everything around it is…

  3. Marx-Engels Forum

    Before Berlin was a Prussian capital, before it was a Nazi showcase or a divided city, it was a place where the sick were brought and left in the care of strangers. This fragment — the Heilig-Geist-Spital, the Hospital…

  12. Karl-Liebknecht-Straße

    The street beneath your feet is older than almost anything you've seen today — traced back to 1500, though you'd never know it from what's standing here…

These are the opening lines of each stop. The full narration — and the audio — plays in the app.
