Overview

The wall ran through the middle of Berlin for over 40 km, dividing an entire city and a country for 28 long years. For many, this is unimaginable.

In an authentic and vivid way, your guide will take you on a journey through time from the construction to the fall of the Berlin Wall. You will gain an insight into the construction of the border strip. Your guide will tell you authentic stories about real fates of people who had to pay the price of their lives for their freedom at the Wall.

How the Stasi abused children and young people for their propaganda is difficult to imagine today.

Your guide will tell you how selfish and inhumane the GDR was when it closed the border and how many people jumped to their deaths out of fear and despair.

Your guide will tell you one or two love stories today, because they did happen too.
