Berlin Car Culture Tour
Berlin Automobile History & Culture Tour
At the indicated time, we’ll meet at the entrance of Espresso House at Potsdamer Platz 10. Located near the site where the first automobile patent was issued, and under Europe’s first-ever traffic lights, this is the perfect place to begin our tour.
Here, we’ll delve into the origins of the automobile, its swift rise to prominence, and how Potsdamer Platz became Germany's busiest intersection in the 1920s. We'll learn how the Nazis thought up and developed one of the most famous cars of all time, and at the Berlin Wall we'll discover the secrets of the most popular car in Communist Germany.
Afterwards, we'll move forward 140 years from the creation of the automobile to visit an exhibition hall where you can hop into the most advanced cars, to get a glimpse of the future prospects of automobile technology.
Next, we'll go to an exhibition where you'll understand how a power like China challenges the big German car manufacturers. We'll admire and even be able to ride in China's best cars from this day and age and draw your own conclusions.
Lastly, we'll visit an old workshop, now a treasure trove of classic cars. Marvel at rare, timeless automobiles that are no longer in production, each one more priceless than the last. An expert will guide us through this remarkable collection, showcasing iconic cars spanning from the early 20th century to the present day.
Finally, after 3 hours of immersion in Berlin’s rich automotive history and culture, we’ll conclude the tour at Beusselstraße S-Bahn Station.
