Memorial of the Berlin Wall
Bernauer Strasse 111, Berlin, Germany
At the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauerstrasse, we'll relive the trauma of separation, visiting an original part of the death strip, the no man's land. We'll discuss escape attempts, tunnels dug for this purpose, and the terrible stories of those who lost their lives because of the Wall.
50 min
Alexanderplatz
Alexanderplatz 1, Berlin, Germany
On the famous Alexanderplatz, in front of representative buildings of socialist Berlin, we'll relive the emotions of the thousands who, through peaceful demonstrations, defied STASI's political repression, triggering the "collapse" of the Wall and the subsequent disintegration of the Soviet bloc.
20 min
East Side Gallery
Muhlenstrasse, Berlin, Germany
We conclude our visit with the most famous and colorful piece of the Berlin Wall: the East Side Gallery and its 104 murals, including the now-famous kiss between Brezhnev and Honecker.
