A tour of revolutionary Berlin
by Henry Fowler and Ben Duffy

IT’S been well over 30 years since the reunification of Germany, so this month we decided to explore what is left of the former Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR). 

Using a mixture of an old blue guide book and the recent volume by Nathaniel Falkin, Revolutionary Tours of Berlin (Pluto Press), we planned our latest “Redcation” around East Germany.

Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing stories from our travels, starting with Berlin. We hope you enjoy the below and will support our new Red Tourists blog and information page available via www.redtourists.com
