Jason Honea and Rinus van Alebeek are caught in a whirlwind of stories about one of the oldest places in Berlin, the Lustgarten. Gnostic revelations, dogs, tulips and the failed attempt on Hitler. Crowds, mass rallies and revolutions, crypts and citizens, it’s all there, the story of Berlin’s history changing shape like a flight of starlings.

Hitler’s walk

For a couple of years now Jason Honea, Rinus van Alebeek and Adrian Shephard have been making podcasts about the history of Berlin, recorded on location telling the story about that location. Here you can find a list of the shows we did so far.

Now we offer you Radio On Berlin walking tours.

Our first tour is Hitler’s walk. On Hitler’s walk we will tell the story from his rise to power to his death in the bunker, but we will also explain what happened to Hitler’s body. We show the exact locations of the Hotel Kaiserhof, the Wilhelmplatz, the balcony, the old and the new Reichs Chancellery, the office, the bunker, the place where the body was burned and where it was found.

Tours will be in english. Duration approx 2 hours.

reviews

“It was unrefreshingly weird and punky, interesting, by all means nerdy. Exclusively cool!! Of course unrehearsed, behind the scene chaotic – no tourist walk. I am delighted!”

“Very historically informed guides – detailed and with a passion for the subject matter- and delivered with humor and panache! Jason is also reeeally natty dresser with his own tailor!”
