action
The director's walk begins at Koppenplatz , which was named after Christian Koppe , who bought a piece of land here to build a poor cemetery. At his request, he and his family were also buried here, as the monument created by Friedrich August Stüler testifies to this day. Now the path continues to Auguststrasse 11-13, where the Bertolt-Brecht-Oberschule is located, at the door of which there are many students. When asked whether there are still basement apartments in this area that are still inhabited, none of the children know why they go looking together.
The path leads the small group over Oranienburger Straße and Linienstraße back to Auguststraße and Tucholskystraße. Somewhere in these old tenement houses and backyards, an old man looks out of the window who claims to have known Heinrich Zille . He invites the group to his apartment and says that around 1920 he often saw Zille in the Zum Nussbaum restaurant , but did not speak to him. He also reports on his time in the Wandervogel club, from which he sang several songs. On the further way the children discover that there were low rooms even above the gateways of the houses, which one can still see. In one of the nearest houses the group meets a woman who says that her grandmother Guste, who lived in a basement apartment on Bergstrasse, was painted by Zille.
In the small Auguststrasse, the group still sees several former cellar apartments, which are now mostly used as coal or lumber cellars . An older woman can still remember the former residents. But then there is even a woman who lived in one of these apartments. The tiled stove is still in the former living room and she can still remember exactly how it was set up. When the children talk to the woman about the games and songs of their childhood, they realize that they haven't changed much over the years. At the end of the film, the path leads to the former Scheunenviertel , with Rosenthaler Strasse , Steinstrasse, Gormannstrasse and Alte Schönhauser Strasse, where Heinrich Zille also got a lot of inspiration for his drawings.
Many of the pictures he has drawn are shown extensively in this film. There are also some excerpts from black and white films in which the drawing Heinrich Zille can be seen.
