Going to Berlin - need tips

[communard resolution]

I'm going to Berlin for a week. Where should I go, what should I see?

I'd be particularly interested in doing a bit of Rosa Luxemburg/Karl Liebknecht/German Revolution tourism and sightseeing - if you know of any corresponding places, sights, memorials or museums, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Museums that exhibit radical art from that period (Dadaism and such) would be great too.

Any political centres where I can find out about current developments in the German Left or swap some material?

Don't send me tips where to party - the friends I'm visiting are clued up enough on that. :)

Thank you!

Go to Kreuzburg and hang out there.

Also, if you can stomach it, try going to the Panorama Bar at the Berghain. It's truly an experience.

Drink beer in a park (there is a big one near Kreuzburg).

Buy the beer from the supermarkets before they close (much cheaper than from the (?)"off licence"), and then take your empties to a corner store ((?)"off licence") and get some more!

If you spot a bookshop (or just some folks drinking beer on the footpath near some boxes of books), say hello. They are probably fun people.

There is an activist squat somewhere, but I can't remember where it is...

Oh, and check out the volks kitchen (people's kitchen), which are sorta like Food Not Bombs. You can ask the organisers where there are fun places to go.

Gorlitzer Park.

That's based in Gorlitzer park, no?

Karl marx street seems to gather large amounts of lefties and TAT mentioned Kreuzburg which is one of the most interesting yet odd areas I have ever been too.
