On the tracks of the Bauhaus architects – bus tour of Berlin
One of our stops on our bus tour is the Kant Garages building. Constructed in 1929, this is Europe’s oldest and best conserved car park, realised according to plans by Richard Paulick. The route leads to the light, so called Laubenganghäusern with walkable rooftops and front gardens in Steglitz. We will also have a look at a memorial plaque at the former site of the Bauhaus. Berlin Bauhaus was based in Steglitz for just a year before it was forced to close in 1933 due to pressure from the National Socialists. It never reopened. If you are feeling a little peckish, you will have to be patient for a little while until we reach Schokoladen Hamann, a small Berlin-based family chocolate shop. Innumerable chocolates and chocolate specialities are waiting to be tasted in this boutique, designed by Bauhaus teacher Johannes Itten in 1928.
