Cycle tour: Industry and Waterways of Moabit

# Industry and Waterways of Moabit **Theme:** Cycle Loop + History + Architecture + Beer Garden **Time:** 12:00 **Start:** Deutsches Technikmuseum **Distance:** 30 km **Suggested contribution:** €10 This ride tells the story of the ideas, inventions and elegant architecture that transformed Berlin into one of the world's leading scientific and industrial capitals around 1900. We'll cycle through the districts of Kreuzberg, Tiergarten, Moabit, Charlottenburg and Mitte, discovering power stations, research institutes, engineering landmarks, beautiful public buildings and some of Berlin's finest examples of industrial architecture. We'll finish with a beer together by the water. ## The Tour We will follow, more or less, the **"Innovation und Eleganz"** Industrial Heritage Cycle Route, beginning at the Deutsches Technikmuseum before making our way through some of Berlin's former industrial neighbourhoods. We'll visit the pioneering **Kraftwerk Moabit**, the famous **AEG Turbine Factory** designed by Peter Behrens, admire the elegant buildings of **Charlottenburg**. We'll also pass the famous **KPM Porcelain Manufactory**. We'll finish with a well-earned beer together beside the Spree. I am an accredited tour guide in Berlin, specialising in telling stories about the city's industrial heritage. I ask for a contribution of **€10** to help organise the tour and share my knowledge. **Disclaimer:** Please note that all participants attend as group members, not as customers, and are responsible for their own safety. Please read the group description in full for an explanation of the terms and liabilities. ## The Cycling This is a gentle-paced sightseeing ride rather than a sporting event. 🚲 We'll cover around **25 kilometres**, with plenty of stops for stories, photographs and discussion. Anyone with a reasonable bicycle and experience cycling around Berlin should be comfortable on this route. ## What to Bring 🚲 Spare inner tube suitable for your bike 💶 Cash for drinks or snacks 🌧️ Waterproofs (just in case!) ☀️ Suncream 🥪 Water and snacks 😊 Curiosity and a sense of adventure ## Highlights ⚡ Discover how Berlin became one of the world's great centres of science, engineering and innovation 🏭 Visit the legendary AEG Turbine Factory, often described as the birthplace of modern industrial architecture 🔬 Learn how Berlin's scientists, engineers and inventors transformed everyday life around the globe 🏛️ Explore the beautiful campuses of Berlin's pioneering research institutions and universities 💡 See the pioneering Kraftwerk Moabit and discover how electricity changed the modern city 🚰 Hear the remarkable story of Berlin's revolutionary sewer and sanitation system, which became a model for cities worldwide 🏺 Visit the Royal Porcelain Manufactory (KPM) and discover why Berlin porcelain became famous across Europe 🚲 Ride through elegant boulevards, hidden industrial streets and historic waterways linking Berlin's scientific and industrial past 📸 Fantastic photography opportunities combining industrial heritage with some of Berlin's finest architecture 🍺 Finish with a relaxed drink beside the Spree. I estimate the ride will take around **three hours**, including plenty of stops. It should make for a fun Saturday afternoon exploring one of Berlin's most beautiful industrial heritage routes. Hope to see you there! **Simon**

Hike & swim - Werbellinsee [15km]

Ultimate Frisbee in the Park - summer edition

Hi everyone. We'll meet and play a relaxed game of ultimate in Volkspark Rehberge if the weather cooperates. Our games focus on having great team play, where the teams work together to advance the disk down the field. It's more important to work well together as a team than have a few star players get a point with lucky shots. For this reason, players of all skill levels (especially those who have never played) are welcome to join Bring plenty of water, shoes you can run in and comfortable clothing that can get a bit dirty. Although we're an established group, newcomers are always welcome. After the game we try to spend some time together and have fun. Finding us: We meet in this big grassy area, it's a short bike ride from the subway stop Rehberge on the U6 or Amrumer Strasse on the U9. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time, so we've got a few methods to help out (don't trust the meetup map pin, it often shows some point in the park, not the exact spot where we are) 1. GPS: 52°32'54.9"N 13°19'51.0"E ; 52.548581, 13.330842 2. Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/xbZgaXzMSMt 3. the helpful picture here https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/8/8/f/highres_451930383.jpeg *This event may also be photographed and/or video-recorded, and published on social media channels such as meetup and eventbrite.* *By participating, you acknowledge and accept the risk of injury while playing Ultimate. Although adherence to the rules, proper equipment, and common sense reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and, you willingly and freely assume all such risks.*

Urban hike: Glienicke castle and Babelsberg castle

Hi everyone! I hope no-one in the group was affected by the events at the CSD last night. So sad. I wanted to revive the cancelled hike due to the heat a month ago. I know it is a bit short notice, but I want to give it a shot and just get some steps done. As announced before, in addition to lakes and forests, we'll explore some of the area's most beautiful architecture and cultural landmarks: Glienicke Palace, Babelsberg Palace, and the famous Glienicke Bridge, where spies were exchanged during the Cold War. We'll start at Glienicke Palace and take some time to admire the grounds before crossing the bridge into Potsdam. From there, we'll continue through the Neuer Garten along Heiliger See, then make our way through parts of Potsdam to reach the Staudengarten on Freundschaftsinsel (Friendship Island – a fitting destination for a hiking group!). After crossing the Havel once again, we'll follow the riverside towards Babelsberg Palace. From Babelsberg, we'll head to Klein Glienicke, an intriguing historical site with a unique Cold War history, before returning to Glienicke Palace. From there, we'll take a bus back towards Potsdam or Wannsee and make our way back to Berlin. The hike is approximately 12 km long and should take around 3 hours, depending on how much time we spend exploring the palaces and their surroundings. We will meet at 10:10 AM on the S1/S2 platform (lower level) at Friedrichstraße station and take the next S1 train towards Wannsee. From Wannsee, we'll continue by bus to Glienicke Palace. Please bring enough water, snacks, and anything else you might need for a comfortable walk. We'll likely have opportunities to sit in a park and enjoy the views of the Havel, the palaces, and the surrounding landscape. I'll be wearing a pink cap, so keep an eye out for a tall person in a pink cap! See you on the trail and let's hope the weather is playing along this time! Check out our Instagram: @queerhikesberlin

When you enter the actual gym, enter the hall by turning left immediately - you are walking towards them. We will start warming up around 11:10, so everyone has enough time to arrive and get changed before that. ***\*\*\**** *Spots are limited, so please update your RSVP at least 24 hours in advance if you won't be joining. **NO-SHOWs ARE NOT COOL \*\*\**** We enter the gym at 11:00, if you are late, you will need to look for us inside.
