Berlin – City of Revolts
by Michael Sontheimer / Peter Wensierski
Description
“If you don’t fight, you’re not living right.” This is what it says on the crumbling façade of a building in the Kreuzberg borough of Berlin. Berlin is a city that is filled with places that were once the scenes of varied revolts: the student movement in the West, dissidents in the East, and the squatters, punks and pirate-radio operators in both parts of the city. The resistance movements in divided Berlin were quite varied, since they were fighting against two fundamentally different systems. But the motivations and courageousness of these mostly youthful rebels had something in common too, revolting as they were against outdated hierarchies and authorities.
Michael Sontheimer and Peter Wensierski, both longtime residents of Berlin, have drawn a map of the many revolts in their city. They give contemporary witnesses their say, offer a wealth of photos, and invite the reader on a walk through Berlin.
