Old Berlin Walking Tour

Walking Tour Spandauer Vorstadt/Courtyards

Nikolai Quarter, Berlin`s cradle, where everything started, when Berlin was a small settlement at the eastern banks of the Spree river, was destroyed completely during World War II.
The GDR-Government restored it due to the 750 years celebration of Berlin in 1987, but not historically correct.
That`s why a real, authentic old part of town today is just “Spandauer Vorstadt”, formerly situated right in front of the medieval fortification walls of old Berlin.

Compared to the close-by center of Berlin, Spandauer Vorstadt survived the war rather undistroyed. With its narrow streets,  lines of baroque houses (17th century) and romantic courtyards, it belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage and is a must for every Berlin visitor.

Enjoy with us following highlights:

Hackescher Markt, Hackesche Höfe, Sophienstr. Sophie-Gips-Höfe, Sophies Ballroom, Sophien Church, Große Hamburger-Street, Oranienburger Street, Heckmannhöfe, New Synagogue, Postfuhramt, Friedrichstr. …

Basics:

  • Tour parameters: individual and private walking tour

BErlin Historical Walking Tour

Not only for historians

Berlin is a rather young city in European comparison. Only in 1987 was its 750th anniversary celebrated on both sides of the Wall.

But what has the city experienced!

From an unimportant trading post situated at a ford across the Spree – in the middle of the “gritting sandbox of the empire”, Brandenburg – it first became an electoral residence city and then, from 1701, the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia.
After the end of the Napoleonic war, the city had to cope with a huge population explosion. Berlin became an industrial city – Siemens, AEG and Borsig started here in the middle of the 19th century.
With the foundation of the German Empire in 1871 Berlin became the capital of the German Empire and the most important metropolis in Germany. Already in 1880 Berlin had 1 million inhabitants, making it one of the largest cities in the world, along with London and Paris.

Pariser Platz Berlin Tiergarten Brandenburger Tor Berlin

The upheavals of the 20th century, World War I, the conflict-laden Weimar Republic, the Nazi era, house fighting at the end of the war – Berlin was more or less destroyed by up to 95% – then reconstruction, the economic miracle in the western part, division, the Wall, reunification and now a population explosion again with all its advantages and disadvantages. This city never comes to rest.

During our Berlin historical walking tour through the old city centre, our historically educated guide unfolds the whole kaleidoscope of Berlin’s development from the beginnings to the present.
No historical layer is left out, the monuments, buildings, memorials and ruins shown speak their own language.

An exciting historical walkin tour with knowledgeable but also humorous guides, suitable not only for historians but also for all those who want to take a deep look into Berlin’s diverse, glorious but also painful past.

Berlin Historical Walking Tour – Immerse yourself in Berlin’s changing history …

Ab durch die Mitte – lernen Sie das alte Berlin kennen

Das historische Stadtzentrum direkt östlich des Brandenburger Tores lädt zum Flanieren ein. Hier sind viele Highlights zu Fuß erreichbar.
Mit uns lernen Sie Berlin-Mitte besser kennen. Ihr persönlicher Stadtführer zeigt Ihnen die wichtigsten Bauwerke, Plätze und Sehenswürdigkeiten. Sie erfahren von ihm alles Wichtige  – Anekdoten und bemerkenswerte Geschehnisse inbegriffen.

Starten Sie am Potsdamer Platz mit seiner grandiosen Architektur und laufen Sie zuerst entlang des ehemaligen Todesstreifens zum Brandenburger Tor. Ein kleiner Abstecher zum Regierungsviertel ist ebenfalls möglich.

Rundgang Friedrich der zweite Unter den Linden BoulevardLassen Sie sich von unserem Stadtführer vor dem Brandenburger Tor erzählen, warum Napoleon nach der französischen Besetzung Berlins auch gern als Pferdedieb beschimpft wurde.
Laufen Sie weiter die Linden hoch, dem Prachtboulevard des alten Zentrums, der derzeit leider unter dem U-Bahn-Bau leidet.
Aber bald wird es wieder prächtig. Der Gendarmenmarkt gilt zu Recht als schönster Platz Berlins und zeugt auch heute noch von Preußens Glanz und Gloria. Auch hier hat unser Guide Einiges zu berichten, z.B. über die Hugenotten, die dem Französischen Dom seinen Namen gaben.
Eine weiterer preußischer Schmuckplatz liegt ganz in der Nähe: der Bebelplatz mit Staatsoper, die leider noch immer saniert wird, der Hedwigskathedrale, Sitz des katholischen Bischofs (!) und der Humboldt-Universität, die einst den Ruf Berlins als Metropole von Kultur, Wissenschaft und Forschung geprägt hat.

Rundgang Berlin Mitte Berliner DomWeiter geht es zur weltberühmten Museumsinsel, einem einzigartigen Ensemble von Museen, 1990 unter Unesco-Schutz gestellt. Das Highlight ist wohl heute das Neue Museum, seit der Wiedereröffnung 2008 die Heimat der Nofretete.
Und natürlich muss in diesem Zusammenhang auch das Pergamon-Museum mit dem berühmten Pergamon-Altar erwähnt werden. Es wird derzeit allerdings saniert.

Gegenüber des Pergamon Museums hat übrigens Frau Merkel Ihre Privat-Wohnung, wo genau, zeigt Ihnen gern unser Guide.

Dieses und noch viel mehr sehen Sie während dieser spannenden Stadtführung Berlin-Mitte, mitten durch das historische Stadtzentrum.
Auf Wunsch gehen wir nach der Museumsinsel gern mit Ihnen in die nahe gelegene Spandauer Vorstadt. Dort können Sie sich vom vielen Laufen erholen – beim Lunch oder Dinner in einem der hervorragenden Restaurants.
Oder machen Sie einfach einen Kaffee-Stopp und lassen sich dann von Ihrem Guide die Spandauer Vorstadt zeigen – ein ebenfalls sehr lohnenswertes Stadtviertel – so ganz anders als das benachbarte Zentrum mit seinen preußischen Prachtbauten.

A selection of our exciting Berlin insider walking tours:

Walking Tour Kreuzberg Neighbourhood

Walking Tour Berlin Insider - Kreuzberg NeighbourhoodIn the course of the population explosion of the 19th century, Kreuzberg became one of the typical Berlin tenement housing quarters built around the old city centre.
After the war, the part of Kreuzberg that we would like to show you on this walking tour Berlin Insider was considered the Montmartre of Berlin – somewhat run-down perhaps, but not as destroyed as the close-by neighborhoods.
When the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, Kreuzberg was suddenly surrounded by the Wall on three sides. One of the reasons why it was able to develop here a social biotope of its own. Even today – 25 years after the fall of the Wall – Kreuzberg is still something very special. A motley melting pot of different life forms and ideas – a wild mixture of migrant and trendy neighbourhoods. Not free of social conflicts and clashes between different political groups, but endearing in its diversity.
But the people of Kreuzberg agree on one thing. They want to prevent gentrification at all costs, which is turning the neighboring East Berlin districts (Friedrichhain, Prenzlauer Berg) more and more into the playground of the wealthy.

Walking Tour Jewish Berlin

Walking Tour Berlin Insider - New SynagogueJewish life in Berlin – Before 1933, the Spandauer Vorstadt, parts of which are also known as the “Scheunenviertel”, was a quarter with a high Jewish population.
The consequences of Nazi rule have not yet been eradicated, but there is once again a steadily growing Jewish community with a rich cultural life.
On this special Berlin walking tour, our city guides will introduce you to the Spandauer Vorstadt also from the perspective of Jewish life in the past and present.
