HÖRPOL is a free audio guide to authentic locations in the Mitte district of Berlin and in the Prenzlauer Berg district. It includes music, audio dramas and reports on yesterday and tomorrow, about Jewish history. A ramble passing fashion shops and music clubs, cafés, and lawns for sunbathing along the banks of the river Spree. Sometimes temper tantrum, sometimes a declaration of love.
Well-known contemporary witnesses, actors, cabaret artists and musicians tell stories about history. They give away secrets, reveal madness and lies, hate, desperation and hope, talk about courage and respect, about freedom. For people from the age of 14.
HÖRPOL has received prizes and awards. Federal President Joachim Gauck, renowned public figures and educational institutions recommend HÖRPOL.

You can choose between two audio tours: Jewish life in National Socialism 1933-1945, Jewish life in the German Democratic Republic 1949-1989 (this part is currently only available in German).
Each audio tour has its own map on which listening stations are marked, for example: PARTY, COURAGE, TODAY!, KISS, HUH??, AMERICA …
As soon as you press the name of a listening station, a green field opens with the exact address and a PLAY-button. Go right there, listen to history where it happened.
There is no prescribed path: You start wherever you want. You decide where you go. You stop when you've had enough.
