back to Starting Point Nollendorfplatz
Explore the inner city of Berlin (inside the S-Bahn circle) one quarter at a time according to a drawing of a four-leaved clover leaf!
The heart-shaped leaves/tours point to the four directions of the compass. Each tour starts and comes back to the center where the four
clover leaves meet. After completing all four tours you can proudly say "Ich bin ein Berliner".
The Clover Leaf Tour East actually covers the topics of four tours. Tour No.1: A small Wall Tour. We will find evidence of the partition
of Berlin not only at Checkpoint Charlie because we ride along the Wall through the district of Kreuzberg which used to be part of
the political West. At the former frontier crossing point Oberbaum Bridge where we reach the turning point of our Clover Leaf East
we enter into Friedrichshain district, part of the former political East. Tour No.2: In Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, today united
as one district, we find the hippest creative and party scene of Berlin with its hotspots between Moritz Place and Boxhagen Quarter.
Tour No.3: Berlin, Capital of the GDR. The ostentacious Stalin Boulevard, the Alexander Place and the Marx-Engels Forum still give
testemony of the communist metropolis. Crossing the Spree River, we get into the historical center of Berlin. At the City Castle
which is currently being rebuilt we start our Tour No.4: The gloss and glory of the age of Prussia.
