Hallo,
my name is Atto and I was born in Münster, Westphalia in former West Germany. Nowadays I live in former East-Berlin very close to where the wall once divided the city. After working in multiple professions - from gardening to theatre and television - I started working as a tour guide throughout Europe over 15 years ago. I have a keen interest for 20th century history and its consequences for society. Many of the major events of this period happened in or had a connection to Berlin, and that's why there is no better place than Berlin in order to dive into that topic.
Atto was a fantastic story teller. I could really picture myself in East Berlin during the time when the Berlin Wall divided its people. Each step of the way I was given the history, the politics, the reasons for the wall and the divide, but not as a lecture. Instead I felt like I was an East Berliner experiencing the changes to my life over approximately 30 years. It was so informative and entertaining. I want to do it again!
We were a little unsure about this whole idea: a virtual tour in Berlin from our home in Missouri, USA? Absolutely! The history of the Berlin Wall came alive with Atto, an engaging storyteller who brought us to where the wall stood and shared the stories about the people who tried to escape from East to West Berlin. This section of Berlin is perfect for a virtual tour with the gigantic photos posted on the walls of nearby buildings to the memorials dedicated to those unsuccessful. Atto is great; we highly recommend him!
