Urban Narrative: From Neukölln To Wedding

The German filmmaker and Harvard alumna Brigitta Wagner shared with the Berlin research group her personal research in which she has been following in the footsteps and history of her own family in Berlin. Wagner traced the life trajectory of her grandmother through the neighborhoods in which she had lived, crafting a transhistorical urban narrative which Wagner in her work also would be reconstructing through film. The trajectory took the group from the south-east neighborhood of Neukölln to Wedding in the north-west. The students finished the tour with a visit to the AEG factory complex designed by architect Peter Behrens.
