Tour topic

From Potsdamer Platz (Tiergarten) to Hermannstraße (Neukölln)

The 500,000 forced labourers were all over Berlin. They worked at armaments factories, in private households as well as for the railway and postal service. They lived in rear blocks in Kreuzberg, in barrack camps at Tempelhof Airport and at the cemetery in Neukölln. The bike route runs mainly on bicycle lanes and side streets. Please do not use the app while riding! Certain sections are also suitable for touring by foot, especially in combination with the Bus M 41.
