My name is Kerstin and as a lifelong Berliner I have witnessed the Fall of the Wall and the reunification of Germany. I would feel happy to share with you this historical experience. Grown up and raised in former East Berlin I offer you my first-hand impressions about East and West joining each other. The dramatic changes 30 years ago meant a great chance to develop my passion for art and history in freedom. In these days I did start with all kind of guided VIP tours in Berlin and Potsdam for individuals as well as companies. I also organized several global conferences and larger events for several hundred participants with tailor-made programs in Berlin. Would you prefer an overview of the city's eventful history? Or, if you've visited Berlin previously, would you like to experience something new? There are many ideas and proposals waiting for you. Take interest, humor and my "magnifying glass" to enjoy this unique city! Potsdam: Official Licenses for guiding at Prussian Palaces as Palace Sanssouci (very few guides are allowed to guide inside) Castle Cecilienhof (Potsdam Agreement) New Chambers (Guests House at Sanssouci) Berlin: Museum Island Berlin (e.g. Pergamon Museum, Egyptian Museum, Old National Gallery), Jewish Museum (designed by Daniel Libeskind) Checkpoint Charlie Museum Topography of Terror (Nazi sites as SS and Gestapo HQ) Charlottenburg Palace Member of the Federal Association of Guides in Germany (BVGD) Education: Certificate as trained guide in Berlin and Potsdam (Berlin Guide e.V. / Potsdam Guide e.V.) Studied art, tourism and cultural management

Overview of your Berlin tour

The famous Bauhaus was founded more than 100 years ago and seems to be more present than ever, not only in Germany but all over the world. Bauhaus architects like Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier left their lasting impact on architecture today. Do you know that there are four Bauhaus settlements in Berlin recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites? As a special treat we will visit the original interior designed by Bauhaus teacher and architect Johannes Itten. Be prepared to irritate your sweet tooth! Particular after the fall of the wall famous architects from all over the world left their footprints in Berlin, e. g. Frank O' Gehry, Rem Kohlhaas, I. M. Pei, Daniel Libeskind, Lord Norman Foster. We will visit design and architecture from a century ago until today because the Bauhaus continues to be a source of inspiration.
