This Berlin Deko Tour explores key architectural sites of early modernism in Berlin and Potsdam. The focus lies on the relationship between architecture, objects, urban life, and cultural meaning.

Over three days, the tour will move from infrastructure and industrial monuments to private houses, museums, and spiritual spaces. Each stop represents a different aspect of modern life — movement, production, living, reflection, and transcendence.

Architecture is approached as cultural expression.

The tour connects buildings, interiors, and objects into a continuous narrative of modernity.

• The Kunstgewerbe Museum - a treasure trove of the applied arts. Here, we'll gain context for the interiors of the architecture we'll encounter throughout the tour, particularly the furniture for House Lemke.

• The House Riehl- Mies van der Rohe's elegant first commission. This early career building will serve as a point of departure to explore van der Rohe’s style development through subsequent commissions.

• Villa Konschewski and the Renaissance Theater- discover the theatrical world of Oskar Kaufmann.

• Kreuzkirche Church- the expressionist spiritual space designed by Paulus & Paulus.

• AEG Turbine Factory- where sacral allusion meets pure functionalism, we will examine the concrete elements reminiscent of an Egyptian temple.
