Beschreibung

This self-guided audio tour of the East Side Gallery of the Berlin Wall will guide you through the iconic site where history comes alive through the powerful murals that adorn the wall and the voices of eyewitnesses that you will hear on your way.

The tour takes you on a journey through the past, exploring the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, and the different problems that the Wall represented. Looking at the artworks, you'll discover the many perspectives of life beyond the wall, and hear firsthand accounts of censorship, tolerance, and freedom.

One of the highlights of our tour is the iconic mural "Test the Rest" by Birgit Kinder depicting an East German Trabant car breaking through the wall. Another must-see mural is "Fraternal Kiss" by Dmitry Vrubel, featuring the socialist fraternal embrace between Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and East German leader Erich Honecker. You'll hear the true story behind this famous mural and how it came to be.

You'll see the images of and learn about prominent political figures such as J.F. Kennedy and Mikhail Gorbachev, and how they shaped the course of history during this time.

Did you know that the Berlin Wall fell by a small mistake? With our expertly crafted narrative, you'll gain insight into the events of November 9th, 1989, when the Wall came down.
