About

Prenzlauer Berg has become very popular with families, and so we have chosen this district for our special family tour, designed to ensure plenty of interactive fun as well as interesting information for adults and children alike.

Starting at the Kulturbrauerei we ask ourselves, how did the heavy brewery horses get into their stables on the second floor? After this we set out to explore the tranquil neighbourhood around the brewery, including a stop at the ‘Fat Hermann’ water tower to understand how it worked. Then we are off on a ghost hunt!

At the fairy tale fountain, statues depict the seven fairytales by the bothers Grimm, and the kids can meet, for example, a stone Little Red Riding Hood without the threat of being eaten by a wolf…

We also take in the planetarium on Greifswalder Strasse, built just before the fall of the Berlin Wall by the East Germans, who replaced the old gasometers that stood their with the curiously shaped balconies and distinctive dome of the building with its eye towards the sky.

We end the tour at the beautiful Zion Church, where we consider why the Berlin Bear feels particularly comfortable on its spire? How could he climb the narrow stairs to the top?
