The resting places of famous women in art and culture are the focus of this guided tour of the Dorotheenstädtischer Friedhof (Dorotheenstadt Cemetery). It tells of the writers Christa Wolf and Annemarie Bostroem, the artists Beatrice Zweig and Doris Kahane, the opera director Ruth Berghaus and many others. In German.

Viktor Ruban, choreographer, dance educator and culture activist is based in Kyiv. Together with the Critical Dance Studies students he was exploring methods of reenactment: through analytical consideration of artefacts and, hereby also including materials of dance subculture, the interplay between reenactment and reconstruction, and finally the development of own approaches to small formats of reenactment, which will be presented performatively.

Anna Seghers, who often appeared rather shy and cautious, found support among her friends, whom she trusted unreservedly, with whom she exchanged ideas and laughed unselfconsciously. The writer remained close to the actresses Steffie Spira and Helene Weigel, the author Berta Waterstradt and the politician Lore Wolf until the end of her life. Themed tour in German.

The Dorotheenstädtischer Friedhof (Dorotheenstadt Cemetery) is one of the most famous cemeteries in Berlin – not least because Brecht's last resting place is here. But many of his comrades-in-arms are also laid to rest here. If one were to draw threads between the graves, a densely interwoven web would emerge. The tour aims to trace these lines, references and influences. In German.

“Through books that will come into being here, I want to help prevent the mistakes of the past from ever being repeated”, Anna Seghers said after she arrived in Berlin in 1947. She had returned as a world-famous author from exile to Germany. For many authors in the young GDR, including Christa Wolf and Heiner Müller, her multi-layered work offered a source of literary inspiration. Themed tour in German.

The writer Anna Seghers lived in Berlin Adlershof for almost three decades. Her former flat in an apartment building has been open to the public as a museum since 1985. Most of her apartment remains unchanged. The extensive library can be viewed in the living room and study. In 2025, the Anna Seghers Museum will continue to open every first Sunday of the month from 11 am to 4 pm and offer guided tours in German.
