About
Meeting up at Europa Center (which she opened as her stepfather was one of its main investors), we'll walk over to the Savoy Hotel, where she loved to stay in (e.g. while shooting her last film, “La passante de Sans Souci”) and whose guest book she signed.
Then, we'll take the S-Bahn to Grunewald, from where we'll walk to Romy's former home on Winklerstrasse 22.
Next, we'll take a stroll down to Lake Diana, where Romy spent a lot of time with her newly born son, David, who later so tragically died. Lastly, we'll walk up to the Schlosshotel Grunewald (back then called Hotel Gerhus) where a coffee/ tea/ or lunch break is optional.
The nearby S-Bahn will take us back to the centre of town in just a few stops.
