I’m Jegor — your private guide to Berlin and its hidden history.
I have lived in Berlin for 20 years, exploring and researching the city far beyond the usual tourist routes. I’m also a collector of antique books and historical photographs, with a particular interest in architecture, art, historical artefacts and unusual symbolism.
More than 80,000 people follow my work on Instagram, where I have documented and shared hundreds of historical artefacts, architectural details and unusual traces of the past from Berlin and across Germany. You can discover more of my historical content on Instagram and YouTube.
Berlin’s famous landmarks are only part of the story. What fascinates me most are the details that are easy to walk past without noticing: forgotten traces of the past, original artefacts, unusual architecture and places connected to remarkable events and personalities.
I conduct all of my tours personally. They are private, unscripted and shaped around your interests. Instead of simply repeating a fixed script, I use my knowledge, research and collection of historical material to provide context, tell the stories behind what we see and encourage conversation along the way.
Tell me what interests you — a particular era, personality, architectural style or aspect of Berlin’s history — and I can create a tour around it.
I’m also happy to share my personal recommendations for museums, collections, restaurants, traditional bars and other interesting places around the city.
If you’re curious about history and want to discover a side of Berlin that most visitors never see, I would be glad to show it to you.
Remembrance
Berlin's memorial sites
History has to be remembered. Beyond the tours, Berlin keeps a network of memorials to the Holocaust and the Second World War — the Topography of Terror, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Sachsenhausen, Gleis 17 at Grunewald, and more. A short guide to where to go and why these places exist.
