About this activity

From the “Führerbunker” to the Berlin Wall – On the Trail of a Divided City.

Start your tour in Nikolaiviertel, five minutes from the TV Tower. Choose your bike and set off on a 15-kilometer journey filled with fascinating facts and little-known stories about Nazi-era and Cold War sites.

Follow the traces of the 20th century to landmarks like the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Straße, original East German watchtowers, and the areas planned for the Nazis’ unrealized dream city, “Germania.”

Your guide leads you through hidden corners, quiet streets, and scenic paths, bringing history vividly to life. Experience what life was like in the once-divided city. Discover why Hitler’s bunker (“Führerbunker”) is no longer accessible and explore the former Berlin Wall’s route, including ghost stations and underground bunkers.

Itinerary

Nikolaiviertel

10 min

Our starting point is also the only "real" old town of Berlin. But how old is it actually, especially having a war with rain of bombs in mind?
Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin - Centrum Judaicum

5 min

Listen to the story of civil courage, in which a police officer saved this marvelous building in the night of broken glass.
Koppenplatz

Passing by

Here you can find a memorial for the victims of deportation and the Holocaust, designed in GDR times and in harsh contrast to the more well known memorial close to Brandenburg Gate.
Memorial of the Berlin Wall

10 min

There are three spots, where the Wall is "still alive" - this is the only part, where you can really understand and expirience what the Wall meant and did to Berlin. Edutainment at it's best.
Mauerpark

10 min

Today commonly known for it's Sunday's flea market, this place shows the incessant attempts of East-Germany's rulers to establish "the perfect border".
Humboldthain Flak Tower

10 min

Once a giant fortress and air-raid-shelter, it offers a fantastic panoramic view and insights into Nazi-architecture
Gunter Litfin Memorial

10 min

This original tower got preserved to remember Günter Litfin, the first person who got shot at The Wall.
Invalidenfriedhof

10 min

Cut in the middle by The Wall, this burial place was made for the "heroes" of German military history. Some of them are rather important to be remembered than honored though...
Spreebogenpark

15 min

From here you have the perfect overview over the governing district of Germany with all it has to offer. Not only what you see is interesting though, but here we also discuss the plans of Hitler's architect Albert Speer and his vision to build the Great Hall, which would have had enough room to fit 180.000 people.
Reichstag Building

5 min

Here we stop to discuss Hitler's grab of power and Germany's democratic history. We do not have time to go inside but can get the best of it from the outside.

Passing by

One of three memorials for the three biggest victim groups of the holocaust.
Monument to Homosexuals Persecuted Under National Socialist Regime

Passing by

This biggest genocide memorial in the world, created by the ones responsible for the killing. It's size and importance to history are incredible.
Fuhrerbunker

10 min

The place where Hitler hid during the last weeks of war and eventually committed suicide.

All you can see today, is a parking lot. We explain why.
Checkpoint Charlie

10 min

**Only in the english Version of the tour.** The most famous border station of the cold war, since it was the only shared one between the USA and USSR. Because of that, there was a point in time when the third world war almost started right here in the heart of Berlin.
