About
- A walking tour could begin at Potsdamer Square, the busiest intersection in the 30s. We would then walk down Niederkirchnerstraße, formerly called Prinz-Albrecht-Straße. This was where the SS and the Gestapo had their headquarters. Today it is an open-air exhibit called “Topography of Terror”. Across the street you see the former Aviation Ministry commissioned by Hermann Göring.
- Though it looks virtually unchanged, it is today Germany’s Finance Ministry. A walk along Wilhelmstraße is a walk down the former center of political power - but not much of this is left. Most ministries are gone, and especially Hitler’s Chancellery disappeared without a trace (we will tell you where the stones have gone). However, the place where Hitler and his closest friends committed suicide, is marked.
- A World War II tour should also include the Reichstag and we’d be happy to arrange for a tour.
