When parties were still called fetes. Between Karl-Marx-Strasse in Neukölln, Ku'damm cinemas, and KaDeWe, between the allotment gardens in Britz, Forum Steglitz, and Europa-Center - a time travel to a vanished archipelago and the people who inhabited it: West Berlin. Colorfully comical stories from the half of the city that no longer exists. "If anyone can capture a city like Berlin in full, it's Ulrike Sterblich." Wolfgang Herrndorf. "How absurd the situation in Berlin (West) was only becomes clear in retrospect today. As a boy, I only knew that I didn't need a compass. No matter where you walked, it was always east." Eckart von Hirschhausen. "All of this urgently needed to be written down, and exactly like this." Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung.
