Join Olga on a live-stream walking tour of Berlin's oldest quarter, the idyllic Nikolaiviertel – Nickolai Quarter. Explore the historic heart of the city's “new settlements,” where in 1200 CE the Nikolaikirche (Nikolai Church)was established in the Middle Ages. Until the Second World War, taverns, shops, courtyards, and tradesmen's houses thrived here. Centuries later, the area was reduced to rubble during bombing raids of WWII, and during the Cold War era, was located beyond The Wall in East Berlin. The Nikolaiviertel was carefully reconstructed to its historic former glory in 1987.On this live virtual tour, Olga will guide you through the cobbled narrow streets of the Nikolaiviertel and along the Spree River. You'll discover the oldest structure in Berlin's city center, the only private house built in the 18th century in old Berlin that has survived to this day, and the beautiful mixture of architecture of Berlin's oldest quarter. You'll also learn about and walk in the footsteps of some of the main personalities of the German Enlightenment.
