Walking Tour on Colonial Remembrance: from Wilhelmstraße to the "Asian Pacific Streets"

Street names and memorial steles in different parts of Berlin serve as reminders of the city's colonial past. The walking tour starts at Wilhelmstraße (Mitte) and leads to the temporary memorial stele exhibition "Paths of Remembrance" in Wedding. Along the memorial steles, which highlight anti-colonial resistance fighters and movements, the city walk opens up new perspectives on German colonial history.
