Tour 1
Berlin Thru the Lens - Historic Berlin
This tour starts in the center of "Mitte", Berlin's
lively number one residential district with its old houses, streets and backyards. One of these, the "Hackesche Höfe" was reconstructed and now is home for art
galleries, restaurants, cinemas and manufacturies where we can watch and photograph craftsmen at work.
After a short walk and crossing the "Spree-River" we reach the "Museumsinsel" (Museum Island) where we can do architecture photography. Constructed under several
Prussian Kings with internationally renowned museums. The monumental style is a real challenge for the photographer to catch.
Strolling along the river Spree we pass the old Schlossbrücke (Castle Bridge), the Staatsoper (Opera House), statue of "Frederic The Great" Germany's most famous king.
The Tour ends at the oldest sites of historic Berlin: Nicolai Quarter shows a medieval German towncenter (church, tavern, houses) typically reconstructed during the
East-German era in the 1970s.

Tour 2
Berlin Thru the Lens - Historic Berlin
The
Hotel "Adlon", the French and US Embassies are located close by. Also a good place to watch and photograph street performers
of every kind.
After a 5 Minute walk following the former borderline between East and West-Berlin we reach the Holocaust Memorial. This 19,000 square meter (4.7 acre) site reminds of
the millions of murdered jews during the Nazi era. For the skilled photographer it provides endless sights: 2711 stelas, narrow alleys surprisingly appearing and
disappearing people in the labyrinth.
Next to the Memorial we will come to Berlin's new city-center, the Potsdamer Platz. Highrising architecture as its best.
The Sony-Center's roof construction looking like big sails from below and like Japan's mount Fuji from the distance is an absolute must for all camerafreaks. Restaurants
serving the world's food and of course typical German and Berlin specialities.
An overall view of Berlin from top of the highrisers ends this tour.
