Grunewald: Mansions, Movies, and the Shadows of the Third Reich
Step into the hidden heart of Berlin’s most exclusive neighbourhood, Grunewald—a district where the glamour of the Weimar era meets the dark shadows of the Third Reich. This private walking tour takes you on a journey through the streets that once housed Germany’s elite: actors, directors, politicians, and powerful figures who shaped—and sometimes scarred—history.
Wander through opulent avenues where the likes of Max Reinhardt and F.W. Murnau revolutionised theatre and cinema. Uncover the secrets of grand villas that once hid those fleeing the Nazi regime, and hear the tragic stories of Jewish residents who faced persecution, eviction, and expulsion. Stand before the former residence of Wilhelm Canaris, the admiral who secretly defied Hitler, and trace the steps of the infamous Nazi leaders who once walked these same paths.
 On this tour, you’ll explore the intersection of art, power, and tragedy:

• Max Reinhardt’s Theatrical Revolution: See where the legendary director transformed German theatre, bringing dreams—and nightmares—to life


• F.W. Murnau and the Birth of Expressionist Cinema: Discover the locations that inspired the master of early horror, from Nosferatu to Faust


• Canaris and the Conspiracy: Visit the villa where the head of Nazi military intelligence plotted against Hitler, a story of espionage and betrayal


• Grunewald’s Jewish Legacy: Walk the streets once home to a thriving Jewish community before it was torn apart by the horrors of the Holocaust


• Tragic Endings: Learn about the heartbreaking fates of those who resisted the Nazi regime and the chilling stories of their final moments

Perfect for history buffs, movie lovers, and those intrigued by the dark undercurrents of Berlin’s past, this tour offers a unique glimpse into a district that witnessed both the heights of cultural achievement and the depths of human cruelty.
