Podcast Tour Berlin Laughing about the Apocalypse
See more
Dive into the rough, neon-lit, and graffiti-covered streets of West Berlin in the 1980s. This isn't just a music tour; it's a journey to an isolated, walled island city that coincidentally produced the funniest punk band in history. Discover how Die Ärzte turned the apocalyptic fear of the Cold War into a hilariously comical three-chord rebellion. From occupied houses and chaotic pubs to legendary concert halls, you explore the invisible infrastructure of a subculture that refused to take the end of the world seriously.
