Steps of the tour
- Welcome & setup: A short introduction to what you'll explore, plus the first context on Berlin's long tradition of body culture, freedom, and taboo.
- Guided walk with multiple stops: At each stop, the story unfolds chronologically—from the Roaring Twenties and Berlin's erotic nightlife, to early sex research, Nazi repression, and the different approaches to sexuality in East vs. West Berlin.
- Immersive multimedia throughout: Your guide uses an iPad to show 200+ curated materials (historic photos, rare videos, archival audio, and quotes) plus Augmented Reality to make lost places and moments feel present on today's streets.
- Interactive elements: Expect space for questions, short quiz moments, and group discussion—so it's engaging and not a lecture.
- Finale & modern context: The tour connects past to present, including Berlin's contemporary sex-positive culture and nightlife—and leaves you with a clearer understanding of why Berlin became a global symbol of sexual freedom.
