During this Wikipedia-themed cultural tour, the digitization project “East Berlin: Between New Construction and Reconstruction” by the FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and Mitte Museum will be presented and discussed together.
The focus is on the numerous digitized photographs by photographer Monika Uelze, which document the construction projects of the Berlin Housing Construction Combine in Friedrichshain and Mitte from 1975 to 1989. The focus includes, among other things, photographs of the Leipziger Straße residential complex as well as the reconstruction areas along Frankfurter Allee and Marchlewskistraße.
Afterward, the group heads outside: During a photo walk, participants will explore Leipziger Straße and the Otto-Grotewohl neighborhood on Wilhelmstraße together and capture them on camera. On-site, there will also be an opportunity to research background information on the construction projects and those involved in Friedrichshain for Wikipedia and edit the articles directly.
KulTour is an event series organized by Wikimedia Deutschland that explores cultural and educational sites together and makes knowledge visible and accessible for Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
