Gilbert Encounters a Large Group of Black People the Day After the Berlin Wall Fell


Setting:​

It’s November 10, 1989, the day after the Berlin Wall came down. Gilbert, freshly liberated from East Germany’s isolation, is wandering the streets of West Berlin with Ludwig and Mathias. The trio stumbles into the vibrant Kreuzberg district, home to a large population of Turkish immigrants, Africans, and other ethnic communities. For someone like Gilbert, who has only ever seen white people, this moment is about to become a cultural awakening gone wrong.


Step 1: The Spotting

The group is walking down a lively street when Gilbert suddenly freezes in place, his beer bottle halfway to his mouth. His eyes lock onto a group of seven tall Black men, laughing and chatting in a mix of German and English near a street food stall. They’re dressed stylishly, some in bright, colorful jackets and others in sharp, tailored coats.

Gilbert’s jaw drops. "Mein Gott," he mutters, loud enough for both Ludwig and Mathias to hear. "What the hell is going on here?"

Mathias, grinning because he knows chaos is coming, leans in. "What’s wrong, Gilbert? Did you see a ghost?"

Gilbert shakes his head, squinting at the group. "Are they… sick? What’s wrong with their skin? It’s all… dark! Is this some kind of Western disease?!"


Step 2: The Confrontation

Ludwig, already mortified, hisses under his breath. "Gilbert, stop. Don’t make a scene!"

But it’s too late. Gilbert marches straight toward the group, his curiosity overpowering any sense of social decorum.

"Oi!" he calls out, waving a hand. "What’s going on with you lot? Are you okay? Did you fall into a vat of oil or something?"

The group of men stops talking, turning to stare at Gilbert. One of them, a tall man with a deep voice, raises an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

Gilbert points at them, gesturing wildly. "Your skin! It’s… it’s dark! Are you all sick? Does everyone in the West look like this now?!"


Step 3: The Group’s Reaction

One of the men bursts out laughing. "Man, where is this guy from? Mars?"

Another shakes his head, smirking. "East Berlin, probably. They don’t get out much over there."

The tall man steps forward, crossing his arms. "Listen, buddy. We’re not sick. We’re Black. Ever heard of Africa?"

Gilbert blinks, clearly confused. "Africa? You’re telling me you’re from… there?" He waves vaguely southward. "But how did you get here? Did someone bring you over in a ship or something?"

Mathias, watching from a few feet away, collapses into laughter. "Oh man, this is gold. He thinks you’re imports!"


Step 4: Ludwig Tries to Intervene

Ludwig steps forward, looking like he wants to sink into the ground. "I’m so sorry about my brother. He’s… adjusting."

The tall man narrows his eyes. "Adjusting to what? Civilization?"

Gilbert, oblivious to the tension, jumps in. "No, no, I just want to understand! In the East, everyone looks the same—white, pale, boring. But you guys…" He pauses, clearly amazed. "You look like statues! Shiny, dark statues. How do you even get skin like that? Is it permanent?"


Step 5: Mathias Adds Fuel to the Fire

Mathias, now wiping tears from his eyes, decides to join the chaos. He slaps Gilbert on the back. "Gilbert, you’re embarrassing us. Don’t you know these guys are probably faster, stronger, and smarter than you? You’re getting mogged in every way, brother!"

The group of men laughs again, with one saying, "Your friend’s got a point. You better watch out."

Gilbert, narrowing his eyes, puffs out his chest. "Mogged? By them? I don’t think so. Look, I’m just saying—it’s weird! I’ve never seen anyone like you before. You’re like… aliens!"


Step 6: The Aftermath

The tall man smirks. "Aliens, huh? Well, welcome to the West, blondie. Get used to it. There’s a whole world out here you’ve never seen."

Another man adds, "And maybe next time, try not to shout about it in the middle of the street."

As the group walks away, Gilbert turns to Ludwig and Mathias, still wide-eyed. "This place is insane. Shiny statues, spinning meat, and people who look like they belong in a museum. What else are you hiding out here?!"

Ludwig groans. "Gilbert, for the love of God, stop embarrassing us."

Mathias claps Gilbert on the back again. "Relax, West. This is the best entertainment I’ve had in years."


Historical Context

  1. Gilbert’s Perspective:
    • East Germans like Gilbert, raised in an overwhelmingly homogenous and isolated society, would have had no exposure to non-white people. Seeing a group of Black men for the first time would feel like stepping into a completely foreign world.
  2. West Berlin’s Diversity:
    • By 1989, West Berlin was a multicultural hub, home to large populations of Turkish immigrants, Africans, and other ethnic groups. For someone like Gilbert, it would be a complete shock to see such diversity so casually integrated into society.
  3. Culture Shock:
    • Gilbert’s reaction, while exaggerated for comedic effect, reflects the intense culture shock many East Germans experienced after the Wall fell.

The Chaos of Diversity (Masjid, Turkish/Middle Eastern People, and the Foreskinless Doppelgänger)


Setting:​

It’s still November 10, 1989, the day after the Berlin Wall fell. Gilbert, Ludwig, and Mathias are wandering West Berlin as Gilbert gets his first taste of the multicultural West. After his chaotic encounter with a group of Black men earlier, Gilbert is already on edge. Things escalate when he stumbles upon a masjid (mosque), Turkish/Middle Eastern influences, and the now-infamous Mathias-lookalike without foreskin.



Part 1: The Masjid Encounter

The trio turns a corner in Kreuzberg, and Gilbert freezes again, staring wide-eyed at the beautiful domed building with Arabic script and crescent moons on its signage. Men in traditional clothing stand outside, chatting and laughing.

Gilbert gasps, clutching Ludwig’s arm. “West! Viking! What the hell is that?! Is it a castle? Is this where the West hides its secret kings?!”

Mathias chuckles, slapping Gilbert on the back. “It’s a mosque, idiot. Where Muslims go to pray.”

Gilbert furrows his brow. “Muslims? What the hell is a Muslim? And why are they allowed castles?!”


As the Trio Walks Closer

Gilbert points at a group of men dressed in long robes and kufis, standing by the entrance. "Mein Gott, what are they wearing? Are they priests? Wizards?!"

Mathias leans in, grinning. "They’re Muslims, Gil. They pray here five times a day. Bet you didn’t have this back in East Germany."

Gilbert, visibly horrified, whispers, "They pray five times a day?! What do they even pray for? More castles?"

Ludwig sighs. "It’s their religion, Gilbert. It’s called Islam. It’s not that unusual."


Gilbert’s Curiosity Peaks

As the call to prayer begins, Gilbert stares at the men walking into the mosque. "Wait, what’s that sound? Is someone singing? Are they doing spells?!"

Mathias cackles. “You’re killing me, Gil. No, it’s called the adhan—it’s a call to prayer. Pretty normal out here.”

Gilbert crosses his arms, frowning. "Normal? In the East, we didn’t even sing for Stalin, and he was practically a god! What are they praying to? The moon?"

Ludwig, pinching the bridge of his nose, mutters, "I’m going to pretend I don’t know you."



Part 2: Turkish/Middle Eastern People and Markets

As they pass by a Middle Eastern market, Gilbert stops dead again, staring at the vibrant stalls selling spices, fresh produce, and colorful textiles.

“What the hell is that smell?” Gilbert blurts out, waving his hand in front of his nose. “Is something burning?! Is it safe here?”

Mathias nudges him. "That, my friend, is the smell of spices. Curry, saffron, paprika. You’ve been missing out."

Gilbert, still skeptical, sniffs the air cautiously. “It smells like the kitchen caught fire. And what’s all this?” He points at a stall selling hookahs and Middle Eastern rugs. “Do people in the West sit on the floor? Do they smoke out of lamps?!”

Mathias grabs a nearby shawarma wrap from a vendor, handing it to Gilbert. "Here, eat this. It’ll blow your mind."

Gilbert takes a bite, then freezes. "Mein Gott… it’s amazing. Spinning meat wizards AND floor carpets? The West really does have it all!"



Part 3: The Mathias Doppelgänger Without Foreskin

After eating, the trio stops at a public restroom. Gilbert, still riding his high from shawarma and cultural chaos, walks in ahead of Ludwig and Mathias. He’s mid-urination when he glances to his left—and does a double take.

Standing next to him is a man who looks almost identical to Mathias: tall, blonde, broad-shouldered, with the same smirk on his face. But as Gilbert glances downward (because he’s Gilbert), he notices something missing.

Gilbert gasps, practically jumping back. "Mein Gott! Viking, get in here right now!"

Mathias walks in, followed by Ludwig. "What’s wrong now, Gil? Did someone clog the toilet?"

Gilbert points dramatically at the doppelgänger. "Look at him! He looks exactly like you, but his sausage is missing the skin!"

The man, clearly confused, turns to Gilbert. "Excuse me?"

Gilbert squints at him. "Are you one of those Muslims? Or did someone in the West do this to you? Did you lose a bet?"

The doppelgänger glares. "I’m from Istanbul, you idiot. And yes, I’m circumcised. It’s normal where I’m from."

Gilbert tilts his head. "Istanbul? Is that even a real place? Viking, do you know this guy? Are you long-lost twins or something?"

Mathias, laughing hysterically, claps the man on the back. "Don’t mind him, mate. He’s from the East. First time seeing anyone who isn’t a pale sausage eater."


The Aftermath

As the trio walks out of the bathroom, Gilbert mutters to himself. "People with shiny skin, people with no skin, castles that sing… What the hell is going on in this place?"

Mathias, still laughing, pats him on the shoulder. "Get used to it, Gil. The West is wild."

Ludwig, visibly exhausted, adds, "If you embarrass me one more time, I’m leaving you here."



Historical Context

  • East Germany’s Isolation:
    • Someone like Gilbert, raised in the homogenous GDR, would have never encountered mosques, Middle Eastern markets, or circumcision as a norm. His shock and confusion are entirely plausible.
  • West Berlin’s Diversity:
    • By 1989, West Berlin had a thriving Turkish population and several mosques, especially in areas like Kreuzberg, making this encounter highly realistic.
  • Cultural Gap:
    • The stark contrast between East Germany’s rigid, homogenous society and West Berlin’s multicultural vibrancy would be overwhelming for someone like Gilbert.
