Industriekultour

Experience Berlin on a guided canoe tour to the industrial heritage –

because Oberschöneweide is no longer a barren place! Away from the tourist crowds, we take you on an unforgettable journey from the past to the future. To this day, the industrial buildings from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries characterize the riverbank, which is considered the largest contiguous industrial monument in Europe. This is where Berlin's rise to become one of Europe's most modern metropolises began. Don't imagine this tour as grey on grey, quite the opposite: nature reserves line up almost seamlessly with this magnificent modern architecture, which has long since been put to new uses. 6 hours of touring is not a minute too much: there is probably no more interesting tour you can paddle in Berlin! From the beautiful Island of Youth, we set off on a fascinating path to the impressive Peter Behrens Building, where electric cars were manufactured more than 100 years ago! We delve into the times of the industrial revolution, explore the development of industrial settlements yesterday and today, and look at urban development in the context of power plant construction, energy infrastructure, transport infrastructure and e-mobility. We also take a look at important aspects such as forced labor, denazification, the GDR era and its dissolution, industrial design, architecture and monument protection. Each section of this tour opens a new chapter in the fascinating history and future of Berlin.

For adventurers and history buffs, this 6-hour tour is an absolute must to experience Berlin in all its depth and diversity. Look forward to an unforgettable journey through Berlin's industrial past and present that will stay with you for a long time! Today is already the future... "Elektropolis" has become Berlin's future location for high tech and creative people.

Have you earned a rest? Then we dock at a former lighting factory, which now houses the "Sonnendeck" restaurant. There we enjoy the wonderful view from the sun terrace directly on the Spree. This extraordinary location not only offers a fantastic backdrop, but also first-class cuisine.

Of course, we have a suitable alternative for all outdoor gourmets who prefer something a little simpler: we will show you an idyllic picnic area, picnic blankets are provided. And in case you want something more than a picnic, there is a cozy café just around the corner.

Strengthened and refreshed, the way back becomes child's play!
