Downhill Biking Berlin

Cinematic sunset ride

**Let's embrace the early sunset and the glowing city lights for our second queer bike ride!!!** We'll take an easy ride straight into the heart of the city. We'll meet on Frankfurter Allee (near Samariterstr.), then cruise straight down the massive, well-lit bike lanes of Karl-Marx-Allee. With good weather, we should get a nice view of the TV tower, then do a loop around Museum Island to catch the beautifully floodlit Berliner Dom. Aaaaand at the end of our sunset adventure, we'll stop at TheCoven Bar for some drinks and socializing. It's gonna be roughly 45–50 minutes of riding on flat, very wide, separated bike lanes. Chill and easy pace of 15–18 km/h. And ofc you are welcome with any bike you have :) **Bring lights!** Since sunset is around 18:45, it will get dark during the ride. We want to be super visible and safe riding as a group. A jacket is also a must, as the evenings are getting quite crisp now. Whether you made it to the first ride or are joining us for the very first time, you are incredibly welcome. Can't wait to ride with you all again! * **Meeting point**: Frankfurter Allee / Proskauer Str. (We will meet right on the wide pedestrian corner at [this point](https://www.google.com/maps/place/52%C2%B030'56.4%22N+13%C2%B027'36.4%22E/@52.5156613,13.4601154,17z/?utm_source=gemini)).

Cycle & dine - Harvest festival in Kuhhorst

========== FACTS ========== ROUTE: Paulinenaue > Kuhhorst > Nauen LEVEL: Easy peasy DISTANCE: 38ish kms MEETING POINT: 08:50 - Berlin Südkreuz ========== FACTS ========== ========= DETAILS ========= **ROUTE:** Autumn is knocking on the door and harvesting is more or less done. So this is the time to thank whomever is responsible for the crop by celebrating Harvest festivals. This time we visit [Kuhhorst](https://diekuhhorster.de/erntedankfest/), an inclusive Farm north east of Berlin. Some of you may know them from their organic products which are sold in Berlin as well. Starting in Paulinenaue we will also pass a very lovely former railroad embankment with (hopefully) very colorful trees around. Arrived in Kuhhorst after about 20km we enjoy the animals (alive and on the plate) and all the activities offered there ([see website](https://diekuhhorster.de/erntedankfest/)). To avoid cycling in too much darkness we head back the remaining 15km at around 16:30 at a relaxed speed. **SPEED:** Leisurely around 16km/h, at least if the wind doesn't come from the front. This is like "Being able to see the details on the side of the road and enjoying the view in general… and have a chat." **DISTANCE AND TERRAIN:** This is an about 38ish km ride, with mainly mixed but also some solid or soft ground. In general: Bikes with thin tyres (Race bikes, Road bikes, Fixies), rented bikes (Uber, Swapfiets) or any special bikes (Folding bikes, BMX etc.) are not suitable! You won't have fun, trust me! And if you want to bring Kids or Animals please get in touch before! **MEETING POINT:** 08:50 - Berlin Südkreuz, at the ticket machine right after the NORTHERN moving staircase (facing the TV-Tower. I have a blue Villiger Trekking bike. But you can hop in at any other station if you want (and dare). **TICKET:** It is 6,30 way out / person and the same way back, so it doesn't make much sense to organise a BBT. The Deutschlandticket is valid. And don't forget your "[24-hour bicycle VBB network](https://www.vbb.de/en/tickets/tickets-for-your-bicycle/24-hour-ticket-bicycle/)"-ticket which is about 7,50 EUR. **WAY OUT:** 09:06 - dep. Berlin Südkreuz, RE8 from platform 8, 10:08 - arr. Paulinenaue **WAY BACK:** 17:59 - dep. Nauen, taking RE8 18:51 - arr. Südkreuz **RECOMMENDATIONS:** Check the train schedule in the morning! The DB loves to stir up the plans by changing trains on short notice! If anything happens the Meeting point is the starting point of the cycling. While we'll stop somewhere for a lunch and/or coffee please always bring your snacks but especially some drinks along! And, PLEASE make sure your bike is in a proper state! Check your tyre pressure and oil the chain! Does your light work? Having a toolset is highly recommended and a spare inner tube to fix a flat tyre a big plus! While we might be able to help in some circumstances please think about what happens if we can't! Thank you! Bringing special equipment (Helmet, safety vest etc.) is NOT required but welcome if you feel more safe using it. ========= DETAILS =========

Ultimate Frisbee in the Park - late 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.

Borsig! – Berlin's Locomotive King by Bike

**Borsig! – Berlin's Locomotive King by Bike** **Time:** 12:00 - Midday **Start:** Hamburger Bahnhof – Main Entrance **Distance:** 30 km **Suggested contribution:** €5 This week we'll be following the story of **August Borsig**, one of the men who helped turn Berlin into an industrial powerhouse—and the company that became Europe's largest locomotive manufacturer. We'll cycle across Berlin following Borsig's remarkable journey from a small factory outside the old city walls, through the industrial landscape of Moabit, to the enormous works in Tegel. Along the way we'll see how the requirements of heavy industry pushed factories further and further away from the city centre, and how each move created new industrial landscapes, transport connections and workers' housing. We'll finish at the magnificent **Borsigwerke in Tegel**, beneath the famous Borsigturm. **The Tour** We will follow the story of Borsig through **three generations of factories**. We'll begin near the former Borsig works on **Chausseestraße**, where August Borsig established his factory in 1837. Just four years later, the first Borsig locomotive left the works. The company rapidly expanded, becoming one of Europe's leading locomotive manufacturers. But there was a problem: the factory was becoming trapped inside a rapidly growing city. We'll cycle north and west towards **Moabit**, where Borsig began expanding in the 1840s. Here the company established an ironworks, boiler works and machine factory beside the Spree, taking advantage of the waterway and the growing railway network. By the middle of the nineteenth century, much of Borsig's production had moved here. This gives us the opportunity to explore one of the great stories of Berlin's industrial development: **why did factories leave the city centre?** We'll look at the relationship between industry, transport, land prices, workers and the waterways that allowed heavy materials to move around the city. Finally we'll continue north to **Tegel**, where Borsig built a completely new factory from the 1890s onwards. Production began here in 1898, on a huge site designed specifically for modern industrial production. The factory even had its own harbour for bringing in raw materials. Here we'll explore the surviving **Borsigtor, factory halls and Borsigturm**, the extraordinary 65-metre tower built in 1922–24 and Berlin's first office high-rise. We'll then finish by exploring **Borsigwalde**, the workers' settlement created alongside the new factory. Borsig needed thousands of workers, but there wasn't enough housing in Tegel, so the company helped create an entirely new neighbourhood. Its surviving streets provide a fascinating glimpse into the social side of industrialisation. We'll finish with a well-earned beer together in Tegel. I am an accredited tour guide in Berlin, specialising in telling stories about the city's industrial heritage. I ask for a contribution of **€5** to 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 **25–30 kilometres**, with frequent stops for stories, photographs and discussion. Anyone with a decent bicycle and experience cycling around Berlin should be comfortable on this route. The route is predominantly on normal Berlin streets and cycle paths, with plenty of opportunities to stop and explore. **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 the story of **August Borsig**, Berlin's "Locomotive King" 🏭 Visit the site of Borsig's original factory on Chausseestraße and discover the industrial district once known as **Feuerland** 🔥 Learn how Berlin's first generation of heavy industry transformed the area outside the old city walls 🌊 Explore Borsig's move to **Moabit** and discover why access to the Spree was so important for heavy industry ⚙️ See where Borsig produced the machinery, boilers and components that made its locomotive production possible 🚆 Follow the story of how Borsig became one of Europe's largest locomotive manufacturers 🏗️ Discover why Borsig eventually abandoned both its central Berlin and Moabit factories and moved to the outskirts 🏭 Explore the enormous surviving **Borsigwerke in Tegel** 🚪 Admire the spectacular **Borsigtor**, designed to make the factory look like a monumental medieval gateway 🗼 See the **Borsigturm**, Berlin's first office high-rise and one of the great symbols of the city's industrial heritage 🏘️ Explore **Borsigwalde**, the workers' neighbourhood built alongside the factory 📖 Discover how factories created entire communities of workers, housing and infrastructure 📸 Fantastic photography opportunities among some of Berlin's finest industrial architecture 🍺 Finish with a relaxed drink together in Tegel I estimate the cycle tour will take around **3 hours**, including plenty of stops for stories and discussion. Hope to see you there! **Simon**
