Tim Raue Hosts Book Launch for 36 Boys Gang History
Tim Raue, a world-renowned Michelin-starred chef, hosted a lunch event at his upscale restaurant in Berlin-Kreuzberg to celebrate the release of a book titled '36 Boys', which chronicles the history of the legendary Kreuzberg street gang of the same name. Raue was a member of the 36 Boys during his youth. The gang, active in the early 1990s, was named after the postcode of the area around Kottbusser Tor and was known in East Berlin's graffiti scene. The event brought together former gang members at Raue's restaurant located on Rudi-Dutschke-Straße, behind Checkpoint Charlie, in a shady courtyard. The book's publication marks a reunion and reflection on the gang's legacy in Berlin's cultural history.
