Overview of your Warnemunde tour:

Until 1990 Rostock and Warnemünde were part of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) - a country that does not exist anymore. The coast and the Baltic Sea functioned as a border. People tried to escape the GDR also via the Baltic Sea - many tragedies, but also happy ends. On this tour we will set the focus on GDR-times. We will visit the major sights of Rostock and Warnemünde and besides that I will tell you about life in GDR-times, how people tried to pass the borders, how people started to discuss about and demonstrate against the East-German system, how the borders opened and how life changed after reunification. I will share personal experiences with you: how a West-German parcel smelled, how it was to stand in a West-German supermarket. Enjoy a trip back to the past with someone who grew up in the GDR while experiencing the beautiful life now in Rostock & Warnemünde! To make this tour perfect according to our focus I will bring old GDR pictures with me and present you with a little GDR-souvenir
