Querstadtein invites you to take a new look at the capital: For the first time in Berlin, former and current homeless people offer a new look at the city, tell stories of life on the street, showing their out of sight spaces and shelters along with tales of Berlin’s streets, squares and parks. How has the city evolved and changed in their eyes? Homeless tour guides give their take on Berlin, get recognition and a sense of self-respect from their work, and have the chance to supplement their income. It works both ways: guides and participants have the chance to overcome mutual reservations, judgement and insecurities, and have a real conversation on a leveled playing field.

The querstadtein team develops the tours together with the (formerly) homeless guides. The team is comprised of about 10 people with different jobs and backgrounds, who are excited about the idea of querstadtein and taking the project further.
