About this experience
If you are interested not only in precise dates and archival facts, then this tour is for you! I will introduce you to Berlin from the perspective of an inquisitive local resident. I am fascinated by incredible stories, conflicting characters, the consequences of their actions, and the peculiarities of modern German culture. I will gladly share my knowledge in the format of a lively friendly dialogue.
What to expect
Reichstag. During World War II, the Reichstag was the highest and final military target of the Red Army. I will tell you about the legendary battle for it and about the current power structure of Germany. Together, we will discuss how swamps and forest swamps gradually turned into one of the thriving capitals of the world.
Brandenburg Gate. This is a true symbol of Berlin. You will learn about the transformation of the magnificent Quadriga from the embodiment of peace into a symbol of the military superiority of the German Empire.
Memorial to the Victims of the Holocaust and Führer's Bunker. You will hear about the incredible coincidences that allowed the dictatorship to rise to the pinnacle of glory. About the psychology of the modern political elite of Germany in the context of crimes against humanity. And whether Hitler could have escaped to Latin America.
Potsdamer Platz and Checkpoint Charlie. I will talk about the differences between West and East Germany. And also about how the second dictatorship was maintained in power and whether a second GDR is possible today.
