Full description
Take a leisurely tour through Berlin's Hansaviertel and immerse yourself in the multi-faceted history of the capital city. In 1945, the once-glamourous Hansaviertel lay in ruins. A few years later, for the International Building Exhibition of 1957, the district was newly designed according to the principles of modern urban development. This resulted in the "structured, spacious city" that exists today. The planning of the district still feels surprisingly modern. The history of the district and its world-famous buildings, designed by national and international architects, is fascinating not just for architecture enthusiasts. Take a tour through this iconic example of international post-war modernity and discover the so-called "city of tomorrow." Enjoy an eclectic variety of cultural themes on this tour of the city. Get off the beaten tourist path and see sights that truly exemplify Berlin's turbulent past. Experience a side of Berlin only recently opened to the public. Confront Berlin's contrasts and discover the secrets of the city. Learn authentic insights and interesting background information. The tour is wholly unique, an experience for all the senses and an invitation to dialog.

The tour was relaxed like talking to a friend about a common topic. It was very well structured and our guide was knowledgeable and interested in depicting the time, events, etc. surrounding the 1957. exhibition and the making of Hansa quarter in detail. Also, he shared with us not only the facts about the quarter, but also a unique perspective from a museum expert. The organization was good, we had no problems finding the meeting point or attending the tour.

Van een weekje Berlijn was dit mijn favoriete middag. Een nieuw stuk Berlijn ontdekt aan de hand van een super aangename en fijn verhalende gids die ons parels heeft doen ontdekken in Hansaviertel. Bij terugkeer zou ik gaan voor een van zijn andere tours.

Großartige Führung, die die Entstehung des Hansaviertels in den politischen, wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und architekturgeschichtlichen Kontext einbettete. Äußerst kenntnisreich und strukturiert, aber auch unterhaltsam - wir hätten noch Stunden weiter zuhören können und freuen uns schon auf die nächste Führung!
