Overview

  • Leave the idyllic Prussian castles behind and discover the invisible war that split a city and the world. On this journey, you follow the fault lines of the Cold War – from the exchange of agents at the Glienicke Bridge to the cordoned-off streets of the Soviet 'Forbidden City'. Find out how villas became centers of espionage, why a castle on a hill succumbed to decay due to border paranoia, and how world political decisions penetrated even the dark concrete cells of the KGB. This is a storey about paranoia, destroyed lives, and the heavy shadows of history.
