"You might still destroy me, oh my life, but you can’t take away or diminish my experiences" Emil Gött (1864 - 1908)
Who would have guessed that there are vineyards in Berlin! Grapevines have actually been planted in the Ministergärten, the location of the offices of Germany’s federal states. It is not known however whether the wine produced from these grapes is actually being consumed and whether you survive its consumption. Our “Green Culture Tour” takes you through and around Berlin’s green lung, the Tiergarten. The area used to be the private hunting grounds of Elector Friedrich III who turned it into a park for the pleasure of the general population. This well-meant present by Elector Friedrich III to his subjects also gave its name to the district, Tiergarten. There are numerous points of interest along the way.
60 minute: Private tour "Naturally Culture" - Light on the tour!
The park, which encompasses an area of approx. 160 hectares, had been redesigned several times. The current appearance of the park reflects the work of landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné, who transformed the Tiergarten into a public park after English model in 1833. The park was severely damaged during World War II, particularly in the last year of the war when Berlin’s center was the scene of fierce fighting. The years following World War II, however, were even more damaging to the park. Cold winters and a shortage of firewood resulted in a deforesting of almost the entire area. Thanks to donations of trees from across Germany, however, it could be successfully reforested in the 1950s.
The scars of the war can no longer be seen. Instead, you enjoy a beautiful recreational area right in the middle of Berlin. A beautiful mix of green and culture makes you want to stay. Several points of interest such as Großfürstenplatz, Carillon and Haus der Kulturen (House of World Cultures) can be found along the route. At Großer Stern (Great Star), the Siegessäule (Victory Column) is located. “Goldelse”, as it is referred to by Berliners, was originally located at Königsplatz right in front of the Reichstag building. In 1938 it was moved to its current location and another segment, raising the column’s height, was added to it. Nature lovers will be delighted by the numerous lakes in Tiergarten, some having little islands. Moreover, there are well-restored bridges and pavilions. We will also pass the residence of the German President; however, you can only catch a view of his front yard. And of course we will pass the vineyards. You will learn more about their location on the tour!
We will be delighted to be your chauffeur on this tour. We will show you around!
