An evening for all the senses – art, music and nature.

City guide Kerstin Zarbock offers a comprehensive tour of the history of Villa Schöningen, which played a key role in German-German history. Located directly on the former inner-German border, the villa was the scene of significant events, particularly in the context of the spy exchanges at Glienicke Bridge.

The tour focuses on the significance of the house during the GDR era and sheds light on how this place became a symbol of the Cold War.
