Öffentliche Führung zur Geschichte der KW: KW, a hike mit Raoul Zöllner

KW Institute for Contemporary Art was founded in the early 1990s in a former margarine factory. Its history is inextricably linked to that of its neighborhood, the surrounding streets and its buildings.

In order to understand KW's historical entanglements, we embark on a walk to boarded-up buildings, underground car parks, distant domes over burial chambers, communist clubhouses and the inner courtyard of a collector who lives in a former nationalized factory. The view of a distant skyscraper overshadowing the relics of the Soviet era on Alexanderplatz marks the end of our tour through the neighboring streets of KW.
