Passauer Straße 8-9, Berlin-Schöneberg. Former location of the “gentlemen’s bar” Meine Schwester und Ich (English: My Sister and I). One of at least 2 bars of this name in Berlin; at Passauer Straße 8-9, Berlin-Schöneberg around 1978, and prior to that at Kurfürstendamm 211, Berlin-Charlottenburg.

The name of the bar is possibly a reference to the eponymous musical comedy by Ralph Benatzky which premiered at the Komödienhaus in Berlin in 1930, and/or to the film based thereupon Meine Schwester und Ich (1954).

An advertisement up-loaded to flickr.com allegedly dated 1978 states:

Meine Schwester und Ich (Eng.: My Sister and I)
Die persönliche HERRENBAR (Eng.: The personal GENTLEMEN’S BAR)

Passauer Straße 8/9 1000 Berlin 30
Direkt am KaDeWe (Eng.: Right next to KaDeWe)
Tel.: 211 60 76
