Bicycle tour on the Müggelsee: Memories of the Nazi era in Köpenick

A sign against forgetting: anti -fascist bike tour on the Müggelsee

On August 24, 2024, the VVN-BDA Köpenick, the Center for Democracy and the Documentation Center Nazi compulsory work organize a guided bike tour that directs the view of the dark past during the National Socialism time in Köpenick. This event not only serves to remember, but has a deeper meaning for understanding our history and its effects on today's society.

The circuit starts at 1:00 p.m. at the Friedrichshagen S-Bahn station-right in front of the Union cinema-and ends after about four hours at the Wilhelmshagen S-Bahn station. Participants are invited to make up at various stations, where they are informed about workers, resistance fighters, politically persecuted and forced laborers about so far not yet noticeable stories. The tour will include important places such as the former Berliner Bürgerbräu AG and the former concentration camp in Müggelheim.

The planned bike tour is a key to a better understanding of ramified contexts and the role that these places played in the Nazi era. It shows how important it is not only to know the great historical stories, but also the stories of the individual, which are often in the shadow of history and which is rarely remembered. This is in accordance with the concerns of the organizers to promote historical and political education and to actively oppose current social injustice.

The event is not barrier -free, which could rule out some participants. An important point that should be observed in advance to create an inclusive discussion platform that is accessible to everyone.

The VVN-BDA Köpenick was founded in February 1990 and has developed into an important voice in memory culture over the years. In view of the resurrection of right -wing extremists, the importance of such events is more relevant than ever. The organizers emphasize that they reserve the right to exclude persons who attach extremist views or have already appeared by discriminatory statements from participation. This is a crucial step to create a framework in which open and respectful discussions about history and their implications can take place.

Overall, the anti -fascist bike tour on the Müggelsee not only gives an insight into the past, but also makes an important contribution to the sensitization of the community for the dangers of racism and anti -Semitism. She calls on everyone to actively deal with its own history and to draw teaching for the future.
