Rosenthaler Straße, Mitte, Berlin
Entry to the yard of No. 39. From 1940 to 1945, here, Otto Weidt was the owner of a workshop for blind and deaf. During the Holocaust, he fought to protect his Jewish workers against deportation and he has been recognised for his work as one of the Righteous Men of the World’s Nations. The Museum of Otto Weidt’s Workshop for the Blind remains on the original site of the factory and is dedicated to his life.
The several interconnected yards you enter here arw a nice counterpoint to the Hackesche Höfe, in their way.
Best see both, they’re basically on the same block!
There’s also the Anne Frank Zentrum, and a café in the first backyard, a kind of small Beer Garden in the second, art, a Cinema, etc pp. Go see!
