Streetlife – Experience and discover Berlin

“Berliners are unfriendly and reckless, rude and bossy, Berlin is repugnant, loud, dirty and gray, construction sites and clogged roads wherever you look – but I feel sorry for all people who can not live here!”

Anneliese Bödecker

Get to know Berlin, its art, culture and people directly on the streets of Berlin and see what makes Berlin so special. In communicative situations, we move through the city and practice our German at the same time. On the street we discover Berlin’s alternative and creative side through graffiti and street performances. Additionally, we experience the intercultural side of Berlin on the Maybachufer in Berlin-Neukölln (excursions: city rally through Berlin-Mitte, graffiti tour through Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, visit the Turkish market on Maybachufer in Berlin-Neukölln, visit of the Urban Nation Museum For Contemporary Art).

Content of Academic lessons

The German Empire and the First World War, the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich, the division of Germany after the Second World War, the reunification in 1989 and finally the refugee crisis since 2015: In this seminar we will examine, which changes Germany went through from the founding of the Empire in 1871 until the present time. We will focus primarily on political, social and cultural processes, as they were perceived and described by artists, writers and filmmakers at the time – and on Berlin as a colorful iridescent kaleidoscope of historical change.

Excursions to museums and places of documentation offer the opportunity to experience the developments of the country in its present and historical dimensions and to deepen acquired impressions and knowledge: We will visit the Alte Nationalgalerie (painting of the romance), the Reichstag, the memorial Deutscher Widerstand, the airport Tempelhof (built during National Socialism, the former center of the “Berliner Luftbrücke” and since 2015 refugee accommodation) and the Kreuzberg neighborhood.

Content of Academic lessons

The course offers different ways of approaching German art, culture and history. The course spans an arc from painting to film to the history of Jewish life by using the tools of intuition and reflection, practical exercises up to the direct encounter with cultural phenomena. At first, you will have the opportunity to engage intensively with the subject of Fine Arts in Germany. The course will introduce important paintings and representatives from the Romantik to Expressionism to get familiar with the subject’s background and to discover peculiarities. Secondly, we will focus on film as a medium to transport feelings, knowledge and culture. You will get an insight into the current German film scene and work on various film formats such as feature films, short films and advertising films as well as music videos. Furthermore, you are given the opportunity to go on a search for traces of Jewish life in Germany. We will focus on both the history of Judaism in Germany and the lives of young Jews in Berlin. During excursions to historical sights and museum visits you will experience the vivid culture, everyday life and history of Germany and its capital.

“If you get tired of Berlin, you’ll get tired of life.” You can always hear that in the German capital. But what makes Berlin so unique, fascinating, and attracts bohemians, students and many others from all over the world?

In “Zoom on Berlin”, we try to look at selected aspects of this phenomenon very closely. In many excursions we experience Berlin exactly where life happens. Explore places that wrote and are still writing history. Visit popular concerts and world famous theaters. Take part in interesting studio and museum tours and experience Berlin by individual excursions. In our introductory seminars, you will get the necessary background knowledge so that you can discover your Berlin.

This is how you can experience Berlin first hand and stick to the city’s motto “be Berlin”.
