Beneath the tranquil waters and leafy villas of Wannsee, secrets from Berlin’s scientific and political heart simmer just out of sight. Discover how quiet lakeshores once echoed with the world’s most explosive experiments and plans that shaped nations.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks the untold stories behind research labs and hidden retreats, designed for those eager to go deeper than any guidebook. Walk at your own pace and let each stop reveal a layer of history most eyes glide past.

Which experiment inside the Berlin experimental reactor set off an international crisis? What clandestine meetings at the Helmholtz Centre triggered waves throughout Berlin’s power corridors? Why does a peaceful Wannsee cottage hide clues to a scandalous feud?

Move from lakeside beauty to laboratories where destinies collided. Trace the footprints of visionaries, conspirators, and everyday Berliners as the city transforms before your eyes.
