This week, we're taking a break from our "Tudor" series! Join me and fellow Berlin tour guide Tina from Tina's Tours Berlin as we dive into the riveting history of a legendary figure in German history—the Trümmerfrau, or "Rubble Woman."
The image of the Rubble Women is iconic, symbolising the post-war reconstruction of Germany from the ashes of the Second World War. But who were these women? Were their contributions exaggerated for Cold War narratives, or did they truly shape the rebuilding of a nation? We'll explore how they cleared the rubble, whether they were forced or volunteered, and the gritty reality of their lives during those tumultuous times.
Tune in to uncover the legacy and memory of these unsung heroines. Don't miss this fascinating episode!
