Generation Enlightenment

Lessing, Mendelssohn & Nicolai in Frederick II's Berlin: city walk with Michael Bienert ("Das aufgeklärte Berlin: Literarische Schauplätze", 2022).

Where did the triumvirate of the Berlin Enlightenment live, debate, play chess and write in the middle of the 18th century? Where did Frederick II accommodate his guest Voltaire and have his own works printed? The tour goes to the places where the Enlightenment thinkers lived and worked in Mitte and places where they lived on: until 1936 there was a Lessing Museum in the Nicolaihaus. Nearby, the "House of One" is currently being built as a sacred building for the peaceful coexistence of religions.
