About
The tour starts in Schöneberg, where Dietrich was born (incidentally, not far away from where one of her friends, later in life - Hildegard Knef - also used to live). From there, we will check out to another one of Dietrich's childhood homes, before we will proceed to Potsdamer Platz, first to the Marlene Dietrich Square, and from there to the Boulevard of the Stars where Dietrich has her very own smack in its centre.
Then, the tour continues by entering the Film Museum, located across the street, which houses the Marlene Dietrich Collection where many of her gowns, her letters and other private possessions are on show. Lastly, we will go to the cemetery where Marlene Dietrich found her final resting place, in the leafy district of Friedenau, which is in Berlin south-west.
