Berlin is Germany’s center stage for local arts, culture, and heritage. Due to its history, you will find many historic landmarks in the city that tell such a story. Brandenburg Gate, for example, still stands majestically in Pariser Platz. This Neoclassical sandstone gate was established in the late 18th century, symbolizing a nation once divided. On Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you will find several museums such as Altes Museum and Neues Museum. If you are visiting during December, you should not miss a trip to Gendarmenmarkt, which transforms into a popular Christmas Market. Complete your trip by staying in a notable accommodation.

<p>I was born in Berlin the year before the wall fell and thus had the fortune and privilege to grow up in a city that was growing up itself. In 2008, I decided to turn my passion for this amazing city into a career by becoming a tour guide. Both my parents lived in East Germany: My dad became a teacher, until refusal to join the Communist party ended his career, whilst my mom worked as a tour guide for tourists from the Soviet Union. In a way, I am following in her footsteps, although our tours would be incredibly different. For instance, my mom failed her first test tour, when she didn’t refer to the Berlin Wall by its official East German propaganda term ‘antifascist protection barrier.’</p><p>On my tours, I am always happy to share personal family stories about what it was like growing up in such an exciting and ever-changing city. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English and History from the University of Potsdam and a Master’s degree in European Studies from the Viadrina Frankfurt/Oder.</p><p>When I’m not guiding, I work as a journalist at one of Berlin’s biggest radio stations or spend time with my wife and son. I have also lived in New York City and in Brussels, where I worked at the Goethe-Institut and the European Parliament, respectively. I speak fluent English with hardly any accent. I am a member of the Berlin Guides Association. </p><p>I am looking forward to showing you around this amazing city – on and off the beaten track – and to sharing its fascinating anecdotes, stories, and secrets! I am also a big fan of Potsdam, and am always happy to take people there as well!</p>
