Description
East Germany may have died in November 1989 when the Wall came tumbling down but the eastern portion of Berlin is still a fascinating monument to the city’s strange and intriguing 20th-century history. This Private 3-hour tour immerses you in the East Germany of the Cold War, taking you to the headquarter of the Stasi (the state police), the wide Stalinist building-flanked Karl Marx Boulevard and Berlin Wall, among many other sites. Learn from the guide about the history of the GDR, German Democratic Republic (AKA East Germany) and about Communist rule and East Germans’ growing discontent and their government’s brutal suppression.
