The Divided Berlin

Learn about Berlin’s Divided History
For almost 30 years, Berlin was a divided city, a unique situation in German history.

An impressive guided tour with a contemporary witness to authentic sites.

For almost 30 years, Berlin was a divided walled in city, a unique situation in the German history.
We start at Brandenburg Gate – an absolute symbol of division and unification – by the so-called “ghost train” to the “palace of tears”, a famous checkpoint in the past.
We continue to one of the “ghost stations”- Nodbahnhof – along the original wall in “Bernauer Strasse”, known for the spectacular escapes out of the windows and through escape tunnels.
We go over the border control line – the deathstripe – to the chapel of reconciliation, where we take part in a short service to listen about the story of one of 138 victims of the wall.
The tour ends in the documentation center with a lot of photo, film and press material.

An extraordinary tour for individual guests, your team event or company outing. Ask for this tour for your school trip or group trip to Berlin.
