The engine hums in a friendly, mechanical voice as the stretch-Trabant parks at a cobblestone curb near the Fernsehturm. Through the long windows the Spree glints and the Brandenburg Gate stands quiet and monumental — the city unfolds like a map with stories written on every façade. The Trabant, an icon of the former GDR, becomes more than transport: it’s a mobile lens on Berlin’s past and present.
