10 Typical Berlin

Our insider tips will turn you into a true aficionado on all things Berlin.

12 Museums & Galleries

ctober is the perfect month for a city break. It’s not called the “golden” month for nothing. In Berlin it could also be called “sparkling October” or “colourful October”, as every year the Festival of Light turns the city into a spectacle of rainbow colours. More than 60 landmarks, monuments and squares are illuminated and, from 10th to 19th October, transform the nights into a brilliant city landscape. It’s also worth going exploring during the day - for example through the city’s flea markets. They offer all sorts of curiosities, from authentic communist-era furniture to records and vintage clothes (p. 34). Apart from that, October is generally a party month for Berliners. The Oktoberfest, with six million visitors to Munich alone, is the largest festival in the world. The idea has caught on in the city on the Spree to such an extent that nearly every district now celebrates its own Oktoberfest, not to mention the many breweries (p. 18). As always, Marco Polo Berliner has many more tips for visitors: the best premieres and plays, the most exciting exhibitions, and recommendations for cafes, bars and restaurants.

Exhibition rooms, galleries and museums – the absolute musts.

Schrippe This special “Berlinese ” term for an oval-shap ed bread roll with a slit in the midd le has its ori or gins in the German words “aufgerissene Rinde” (ripped open crust). On the other hand, native Berliners occasi onally use the phrase “olle Schrippe” (which approximates to “old woman”) to des cribe women who no longer look as fresh – or good enough to eat – as the popular breakfast bre ad rolls. The term “Schri ppe” has been a favourite word in the Berlin dialect since the late 18th century. Butter Lindner

My Berlin Tips What has to be seen in Berlin? You can sum it up pretty succinctly: the Brandenburg Gate, the Bundestag, the KaDeWe department store, the Pergamon Museum and the Jewish Museum.

Every genuine resident of Berlin will have ask ed themselves at some point why the rou nd pastries with the ma rmalade filling are only called “Berliners” outside of the German capital city. Within Berlin itself, they are sim ply called “Pfannkuch en” (doughnuts). The confusion is made worse by the fact that what are considered “Pfannkuchen” in the rest of Germany are cal led “Eierkuchen” (pancakes) in Berlin.

Berlin is Dog City Berlin is second only to Manhattan in terms of its number of dogs. Canines are allowed on the German capital’s public transport and the city has no rules about keeping them on a leash. Berlin even has dedicated dog parks. Nevertheless, owners must pick up four-legged friends what their four leave behind – although this regulation isn’t always obeyed. Parks Volkspark Friedrichshain, S8, 41, 42, 85 Landsberger Allee | Volkspark Hasenheide, U7, 8 Hermannplatz

What question are you asked most often? There are three. First: Do you have a map of the city? Second: Can you recommend a couple of restaurants? Third: Where’s best for shopping? And what do you reply? To the first: Yes, we do. Would you like me to point anything out? To the second: I recommend Osmanya, Aigner, The Grand, Grill Royal, Vau, Il Punto, Al Contadino Sotto Le Stelle and the Rutz wine bar. To the third: KadeWe, Kurfürstendamm and Friedrichstrasse. Is there anything that annoys you about Berlin? I think there aren’t enough Englishlanguage plays and musicals. Finally, a tip... Sign up for a tour with the Berlin Underworld Association (Verein Berliner Unterwelten). They will show you some fascinating locations that otherwise you would never see because you would never even find them.

From the Vikings to Pasolini One location, many cultural experiences - the Martin-GropiusBau in the heart of Berlin. This is a meeting point for President Gauck and Queen Margaret of Denmark, but also for Viking fans (large and small), connoisseurs of fine cinema, photography enthusiasts and art lovers from all over the world. The Martin Gropius-Bau is one of Berlin’s most prominent cultural addresses. It was built in 1881 in the Renaissance style.

There are two Watsons. One is the real soldier, working on combat training on a computer in a Washington classroom. The other is Watson the avatar in this computer game, lying dead in the dust of an Afghan mountain landscape. The real

Watson has to accept that the game is over. Conceptual artist Harun Farocki, born in 1944 in the then German-occupied Czechoslovakia, uses “Ernste Spiele” (“Serious Games”) to examine the use of computer game technology in the training of American soldiers. “Watson is down” is one of four installations. The barrage of photos, videos and images with which we are bombarded every day does not seem to heighten our awareness of their power to manipulate. With his films and videos, Farocki wants to make us aware of new perspectives, and of images themselves.

Serious Games

is goal was “to make objects that remain”. With this in mind, the designer born near Milan in 1932 created toys, furniture, office tools and kitchen appliances. In the 1950s he worked for the design label Danese Milano, and in the 1990s he transformed the Royal Porcelain Factory (KPM) into an experimental workshop where nothing less than crockery for the 21st century was to be created. The BERLIN crockery set was awarded the iF Design Award in 1998. With the help of sketches, interviews and models, this exhibition illuminates his co-operation with the Royal Porcelain Factory (KPM).

Oktoberfest 18

MARCO POLO Berliner | October 2014

BERLIN’S OKTOBERFESTS M

ore than six million visitors means Munich’s Oktoberfest has become one of the largest festivals in the world. And the Wiesn festivities are no longer limited to the Bavarian state capital. There have long been Oktoberfests on the banks of the Spree. The very first Oktoberfest harks back to two events: on 12th October 1810, Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese said “I do”. Five days after the wed-

ding, a great horse race was held on the festival grounds outside the city to pay homage to the newly-weds. Next to the race track, stalls selling food and drink jostled with climbing trees and a bowling alley. In 1818 the first carousel was installed. Since 1819, the Oktoberfest has been celebrated every year outside of wartime. Read on the following pages where Berliners can get hold of Weißbier, Hax’n, Weißwurst and brass bands.

Age is beautiful: Vintage fashion and second-hand

like taking a step back in time. It’s a collector’s dream – all beautifully arranged according to colour.

This crossroads is just the beginning of a journey: circus, dance and sound worlds are currently colliding in Chamäleon. Old meets new, circus meets cabaret and boundaries are thus dissolved between body and instrument, between movement and music, between past and future. A moving mix of vaudeville, cabaret and show awaits audiences - full of charm, wit and illusion. The show is a coproduction from Chamäleon Varieté and Australian company C!RCA; it is inspired by the lively, vibrant and unique character of cities like Berlin. Singer Iza Mortag Freund and her performer friends provide the soundtrack, for the most part live. Saucy punk cabaret, flickering electro sounds for the head and feet and a sensual, sizzling death waltz that makes you feel alive.

Daniel Barenboim conducts his first Puccini opera with Tosca which premieres on 3rd October.

uccini’s most dramatic work takes place in Rome against the backdrop of the Napoleonic War. It tell the tale of a politically naive singer who opposes the political powers-that-be for love. Puccini, who found his subject matter in the 1889 play by Victorien Sardou, felt himself immediately challenged by La Tosca, with the legendary Sarah Bernhardt in the title role.

Since 1892 this building has played host to the most controversial directors. From Erwin Piscator in the 1920s to Castorf and Schlingensief in the 1990s. The technology and sometimes shocking scenarios particularly appeal to a young audience. It was also the stage for the 1989 political revolution.

The fact that it would take a further eleven years to reach its world premiere was surely because the old master Verdi saw the play as the ideal source for an opera.

After half a century the Distel still considers itself to be a “thorn in the side of the government”. What used to be the most important cabaret show in the former East Germany now works with two of its own ensembles who transform their self-penned programmes into satirical theatre. The result is also amusing.

In this magnificent historical building amateurs have performed professional pieces since 2009. As well as the Neukölln trilogy and the Döblin adaptation “Berlin Hermannplatz”, the so-called Gassenhauer Revue “Rixdorfer Pearls” has been particularly successful. The theatre’s own youth group Hammerhale and literati from the Saalslam poetry group also appear.

Distel: a clear statement

ermany is blessed. The economy is booming, the state is making money, and watching over it all is “Big Data”. Fantastic! And best of all, soon we won’t be in debt any more. But the grand coalition can’t stop arguing. Two tax officers agree: they want to make their gripes public. Can civil servants start a go-slow strike? Wouldn’t a hunger strike be seen as a pro-

test against the work canteen? In the end, they become Robin Hoods in a disintegrating society, furiously committed to taking drastic measures and sending the politicians a clear message. Briefly put, this is satirical fun at its finest. Distel 30th and 31st of october 8 pm | from €16 | Friedrichstr. 101 | Mitte | www. distel-berlin.de | Public transport S/U Friedrichstraße

Neni Berlin Israeli-Mediterranean cuisine

Promo

High above a revitalised stretch of central West Berlin is one of the city’s most impressive terraces – and delicious food. This is Neni Berlin where chef Haya Molcho, an Austrian with Israeli roots, demonstrates her considerable culinary abilities. Appropriately for a hotel restaurant, her Berlin kitchen plays with the concept of hospitality. Neni doesn’t offer conventional fine dining. Instead, everything arrives at the table at once. There’s wonderfully aromatic yet mellow Eifel lamb, or the flavoursome and satisfying corn-fed chicken served with caramelised aubergines and Tel Aviv sabich, a vegetable dish held together with poached eggs. Everything is laid out on flat wooden boards, and everyone tries everything. It’s an interesting and essentially entertaining concept that’s held together with culinary expertise and served up with views of the Memorial Church and the zoo which glimmer in the dark.

Passengers travel by steam trains, railcars and other vehicles of yesteryear. The trips set off from the provi provisional stop of “Märkisches Viertel” on Wilhelmsruher Damm, not far from Berlin-Rosenthal train station. Getting on board one of the 1920s carriages gives a sense of what travelling by train was like in the past as you sit back on the comfortable wooden benches or padded seats.

Bad Liebenwerda Just over 700 years ago, a lovelorn woman is said to have called out from the “Lubwartturm” (Lubwart Tower): “Will lieben! Wer da?” (I want to love! Who will love me?) Ever since, the little town on the Black Elster River has borne the name Bad Liebenwerda. Nowadays, the spa town is known and loved for its mud baths. Those in search of the ultimate in relaxation will also find what they are looking for at the “Erlebnisbad Lausitztherme” (Lusatia thermal baths water park) in Wonnemar or in the “Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft” (Lower Lusatia Moors) wildlife park.

In present-day Lower Lusatia at the western and southern edges of the Spreewald forest, 50 ring-walled castle complexes were built during the late 9th and early 10th centuries. The builders were members of the Slavic Lusizi tribe, who had lived there since the 8th century. A model reconstruction of these complexes can be visited at Raddusch. The diameter of an original Slavic castle measured 38 metres inside and 58 metres outside, with the castle surrounded by a 5.5-metre wide u-shaped ditch. Access inside the 7-metre high walls was via two tunnel gates. Enjoy an excursion into the distant past. Slawenburg Raddusch daily 10 a.m.–6 p.m., from Nov. 10 a.m.–4 p.m. (Last entry is 30 minutes before closing) | Zur Slawenburg 1 | 03226 Vetschau | OT Raddusch | Tel. 035433 555 22 | www. slawenburg-raddusch.de
