What You’ll Experience

🔥 The Roaring Twenties: Berlin’s Golden Age of Sexual Liberation

Imagine a city where sexuality was openly discussed, clubs catered to every fetish, and newspapers published guides to Berlin’s hidden erotic underworld. The 1920s saw Berlin become the most sexually progressive city in the world. You’ll explore:
✔ The rise of nudism, kinks, and fetishes in Weimar Berlin
✔ The legendary nightclubs where boundaries between art, performance, and sexuality blurred
✔ The invention of the first rubber condom—a revolution in sexual health that happened right here in Berlin
✔ How Berlin became a center for sexual exploration long before the sexual revolution of the 1960s

🔬 The Birth of Sexual Science: A Revolution in Studying Desire

Before modern sexology, Berlin was already at the forefront of studying human sexuality. The city was home to Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science, which wasn’t just about LGBTQ+ rights—it was the first institute in the world to scientifically study human sexuality in all its forms. This part of the tour covers:
✔ How Hirschfeld and his colleagues pioneered the study of sexual behavior, desire, and relationships
✔ Early research on topics like contraception, sexual health, and erotic preferences
✔ The first gender-affirming surgeries, but also the institute’s broader work on heterosexuality, marriage, and alternative relationship models
✔ Why the Nazis saw this research as a threat—and what was lost when they destroyed it in 1933

⚠ The Nazi Era: Repression, Control & The Politics of Sexuality

Berlin’s open and experimental sexual culture came to a brutal halt under Nazi rule. The regime sought to control sexual behavior, promote "racial purity," and eliminate any form of desire they deemed "degenerate." You’ll learn about:
✔ How the Nazis cracked down on sexual freedom, from banning erotica to shutting down clubs
✔ The fate of sex workers, sexual minorities, and anyone who didn’t fit into the Nazi ideal of sexuality
✔ What Nazi propaganda said about sex and morality—and the surprising contradictions in their own ranks

🚧 Sex, Politics & Desire in a Divided Berlin

After WWII, Berlin was split into East and West, and so was its approach to sexuality. While West Berlin embraced new ideas about relationships and pleasure, East Berlin had a more regulated but surprisingly open culture in some areas. This part of the tour explores:
✔ How West Berlin became a center for changing attitudes toward love and relationships
✔ The widespread popularity of nudism (FKK) in East Germany and its connection to GDR ideology
✔ The differences in sexual satisfaction and gender roles in East vs. West Germany

🎧 Berlin’s Modern Sex Scene: From Berghain to Folsom Europe

Berlin today is a global capital of nightlife, kink, and sexual exploration. The tour concludes with an inside look at the city’s most famous clubs, events, and institutions:
✔ The KitKat Club, Berghain, and other legendary venues where Berlin’s uninhibited spirit still thrives
✔ The world’s largest fetish festival, Folsom Europe, and its origins
✔ The underground party culture that continues Berlin’s long tradition of pushing sexual and artistic boundaries
