Walking Tour: 1968 in West Berlin
Advertisement
As the year 1968 began, young people in West Berlin went wild. They began demonstrating against the imperialist war in Vietnam, against authoritarian structures at the universities, and against a Federal Republic run by former Nazis.
All of West Berlin society opposed these "long-haired hooligans." But this only radicalized them further. Before long, some sections of the movement were throwing Molotov cocktails and building bombs, while others began a "long march through the institutions."
1968 changed Berlin, Germany, and the world. On our tour, we are going to talk about:
- the International Vietnam Congress at the Technical University
- the second-wave women's liberation movement in West Germany
- student rebels joining the armed underground
- the visit by the Shah of Iran that ended with an assassination
