This tour focuses on the psychology and lives of both victims and perpetrators, exploring clues to the central question. It began with polarizing, violent, and stigmatizing words during the Weimar Republic and escalated over twelve years of dictatorship. The camp system started provisionally when Hitler came to power, evolving from the idea of “protective custody” to forced labor exploitation, and ultimately to the death camps of the “Final Solution.” Sachsenhausen existed for nine years. Originally planned for about 6,000 inmates, it eventually held over 40,000, with more than 50,000 people losing their lives there. In 1936 this model camp was built in the forest during the Berlin Olympic Games. Its architecture is a stark testament to the SS’s omnipotent control and the professionalization of terror. The tour is information-dense, covering multiple storylines that unfolded simultaneously at the camp. All guides hold the official certification of the memorial site.

Guiding isn’t just a job for me; it’s my calling. I have called Regensburg home for over ten years. In that time, I haven’t just learned its history—I’ve lived it. I’ve watched the light change on the river at different seasons, followed the quiet rhythms of its markets and festivals, and discovered corners of the Old Town that most visitors walk past without ever noticing. This city has layers, and I love helping people uncover them. My tours are not scripted performances or rushed checklist walks. I guide every tour myself, which means your experience is personal from the very first step. We go at a pace that suits you. We pause when something catches your eye. We take detours if curiosity leads us down a side street. That flexibility allows us to move beyond the obvious and experience Regensburg as more than just another stop on a travel itinerary.

Large museums have between 500 and 3,000 items in their permanent collection. The Louvre has 35,000, and the Bode Museum has thousands of sculptures. You could dash through the Louvre in 9 minutes and break the record set by the characters in Bertolucci’s film "The Dreamers", or you could, like the average visitor, spend a full 8 seconds on each piece. But I propose something else: I’ll explain where and how to look so that the art truly reveals itself to you. I’m not a tour guide with a microphone; I’m an artist, a curator, and someone who has spent years not only studying art but also teaching a wide variety of audiences. I won’t teach you to “see correctly,” but I’ll tell you how to look so that you can learn, be inspired, and discover what matters to you. Berlin is remarkable in that here, in one day, you can journey from Romanticism to Post-Conceptualism and physically sense how the understanding of what art is has changed from Rembrandt to Bruce Nauman. Format: max. 7 people
