GDR Berlin travel guide
THE BEST OF GDR BERLIN
It´s always been fascinating to me that I grew up in a country which doesn`t exist any more. This map gives you an insight into lives that are fast fading from memory. Believing that the DDR Museum more than anywhere else captures everyday life in the GDR (German Democratic Republic), I am so excited to be partnering with them.
The GDR museum is dedicated to everything about East Germany. In the museum you can visit an authentic GDR apartment and get a feeling of everyday life in the former Soviet satellite state. It even displays an exact copy of the couch I grew up on!
THREE WALKS THROUGH THE PAST IN BERLIN
With this map dedicated to the GDR, we would like to take you on a walk through the past. The GRD map is a locally-curated collection of spots crafted so you can explore East Berlin with ease through a series of suggested city walks. The guide map includes GDR sights and attractions not to be missed to make the most of your experience.
Take a seat in the Trabi ride, climb up the ladder of the GDR Watchtower and experience the same view as the East German border soldiers or simply enjoy a currywurst at Konnopke. Let us take you on a journey and explore all aspects of daily life behind the Berlin Wall!
For now, here is a sneak peek of my GDR highlights in the map.
