Potsdam Audio Tour: Cinematic Stories of South Babelsberg

Audio guide11 stops

Beneath South Babelsberg’s tranquil trees lies a history of rebellion and cinematic illusion, where spies mingled with movie stars and revolutions flickered behind studio gates. This self-guided audio tour is your ticket to stories and secrets hidden in plain sight—at DEFA, Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf, and the legendary Berliner Straße film set. Uncover the moments that shaped both film history and political fate, steps from the studios themselves. Who forged forbidden alliances as cameras rolled behind locked doors? What strange keepsakes lurk in the archives of Germany’s oldest film university? And which iconic scene once sparked a scandal so big it nearly silenced the lights for good? Follow the footsteps of dreamers, schemers, and visionaries. Let each landmark blur the boundary between fact and fantasy, so every corner reveals an untold drama beneath today’s calm. Now the reels are spinning. It is time to press play on South Babelsberg’s real story.
