Overview of your Berlin tour:

You want to know what it means to live in a dictatorship. As a West German, I experienced the harassment of crossing the border to visit relatives in the East. I know the stories of the dreary and fearful everyday life of my family from the East. Immerse yourself in this history with me on a 2. 5-hour walking tour along the remains of the Berlin Wall - the symbol of the dictatorship of the GDR. We start at the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Strasse and end at an exhibition dedicated to everyday life in the former GDR. At the Berlin Wall Memorial you will experience the most significant and authentic remains of the Berlin Wall. Our tour starts in the Mitte district and takes you to the Prenzlauer Berg district. Why was the Wall built? What was the function of the Wall? Why did people risk their lives to cross the Wall from East to West? What were the reasons for leaving East Germany? What was everyday life like in East Germany? Which escapes from East Berlin were successful, which failed?
