WallGuide

Pictures, films, original quotes, interviews and games make history and histories of the Berlin Wall come alive with the multimedia WallGuide.


Topical interviews with experts and contemporary witnesses tell very personal stories of the Berlin Wall.

This is how the WallGuide traces the path of the Berlin Wall on five key geographical points and 22 information points - the fate of a city divided. An in-built city map with the path of the former Wall and a GPS-navigation for both pedestrians and cyclists makes the orientation easy.

Top10 Team insiders' tip: Sporty visitors to town can rent the Wallguide together with a bike!
