Tours
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 manufactories 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
town center (church, tavern, houses) typically reconstructed during
the East-German era in the 1970s.

East meets West
After meeting at the new Reichstag building, we’ll head over to
watch and photograph street performers of every kind is at Hotel
"Adlon" close to the French and US Embassies.
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. Highrise 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 camera buffs. Here you will find restaurants serving
the world cuisine and of course typical German and Berlin
specialities. We end with a panoramic view of Berlin from top.
