One night to revive capital's missing landmarks
From drinks to dreams, from Bach to Zakha – this is how we gonna explore Berlin. Welcome to architecture & music tour of Europe’s liveliest city - by bike, by night, by VeloNacht. A ride to reconnect visions of baby Berlin in times of Grosser Kurfürst, overfilled with French immigrants, Berlin as an expressionist fairy tale in the 1910’s, or just the place to reinvent themselves – like it worked for Vladimir Nabokov, David Bowie or Chen Kuen Lee. Join the ride★
Get ready for 21 kms relaxed nocturnal cycling with World's leading historians to explain monuments, with specially created soundtrack of wonderful tunes created in (and for) Berlin during its such a polyphonic life – J.-S.Bach toThe Peaches to name just a few. Here's the registration .★
Introducing our brilliant experts: Prof. Tim Blanning (Cambridge university) is an author of award-winning bestseller Frederick the Great. Prof. David Clay Large (Berkeley university, California) gifted us his book Berlin - bursting with unusual facts documenting its quick rise from a tiny town to the World city of now. We are happy to have with us an inspiring voice of the Kreuzberg patriot Martin Düspohl, long-time curator of the legendary FHXB Museum. The ride is written and designed by historian Sergey Nikitin, professor of University of Verona, founder VeloNotte Academy.★
No need a punishing fitness regimen for Velonotte: just get to the meeting point on your bike and a smartphone with 3G (and battery & headphones supposedly) - to follow speakers and soundtrack. Please note that according to traffic rules, your bike have to have a light. Registration here from 10 Euro .
We meet at the Museum for Architecture Drawing (Christinenstraße 18A) from 20-00.
The ride start at 21-00 and we finish in Mitte around 23-30.
With your registration, you can also visit exhibition "Berlin projects" in the Museum free of charge.
