Explore Berlin on Foot: Uncovering Art Nouveau in the Charlottenburg District
Jugendstil Beautiful Chaos in Berlin
Berlin is a city that surprises, and when you think of its architectural landscape, Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil, might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, late-19th and early 20th-century Berlin was graced by this highly decorative style, characterized by intricate depictions of mythical creatures, animals, and folklore-rich motifs. You'll find nymphs, owls, winding branches, laughter-filled laughter, and a dash of Egyptian flair scattered throughout the city.
Luckily for us, some of Berlin's Jugendstil treasures still remain! On this tour, we'll embark on a delightful adventure through the charming and elegant neighborhood of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, gazing in awe at a dozen of its most enchanting residential buildings that showcase this unique style.
Join us on February 8 at 2:10 PM, meeting at the corner of Pariser Strasse and Bundesallee, right outside the Spichernstrasse U9 station, at Bundesallee 14. Our expedition will conclude at the crossroads of Giesebrechtstrasse and Kurfürstendamm, near Adenauerplatz station, at Kurfürstendamm 62.
