“”It is pitch black and freezing and I am in an old, abandoned ice factory in East Berlin. The view from the roof is grand - the iconic, Socialist-era TV tower nicely defines Berlin’s skyline from across the Spree River. But we are here to see the art, our guide tells us, as we snake up and down staircases and through huge, empty rooms, walls full of graffiti, lit by our phones’ flashlight apps.
This is the second to last stop on the “Twilight Berlin Underground Tour.” I am here, ostensibly, to see art and potentially meet “people living on the fringes of society,” according to the listing. We have already visited an abandoned brewery where street artists used to squat, and an old rail yard area now home to studios. Our last stop is some sort of “hacker’s lair.”
