Telefonistinnen, Dichterinnen, Professorinnen – Frauenleben um den Steinplatz
In the organizer's words:
Politics, science, visual arts, literature, music and theater have shaped Steinplatz and its surroundings for around 150 years. It is the center of a lively cultural, educational and memorial landscape, which has been presented and made legible on city walks since 2020.
The tour leads to important women in Berlin's history around Steinplatz. Isadora Duncan propagated the "free dance" and a self-determined lifestyle here barefoot. Hedwig Courths-Mahler, the queen of the kitsch novel, lived in Knesebeckstraße, not far from the telephone operators who worked at the "Steinplatz" telephone exchange in Goethestraße.
On Kantstraße, a manager, Elfriede Scheibel, kept the "Delphi" afloat as a swing palace during the Nazi era. The Yva Arch at Bahnhof Zoo is to be attractively designed over the next few years and will provide information about its namesake Yva, who was the teacher of star photographer Helmut Newton.
Registration for the guided tours is possible via the following link: ogy.de/steinplatz. The maximum group size is 25 people. The guides are Michael Bienert and/or Marianne Mielke.
