Annual Insider / Fat Tire BBQ 2024

Third time lucky! After having to postpone twice due to Summer heat storms, yesterday was the day for the annual Insider Tour/Fat Tire BBQ. It was a swealtering 34°C, but we weren't going to postpone again! Luckily we had the use of a pretty big canopy from friends which made all the difference. Many burgers and halloumi were cooked and lots of cold beers were consumed. The Tempelhofer Feld is an excellent location for tour guides to pause briefly in the middle of a busy season to chat with colleagues and friends. We had a wonderful time. This former airfield is a super amenity for everyone!

Funkhaus Berlin - Insider's Educational Nr. 1 in 2024

 

Insider guides recently enjoyed an extraordinary tour of the historic 'Funkhaus' in Berlin, nestled along the Spree river in the charming Treptow region. Our guide, Christian, led us through this iconic complex, once the radio broadcaster of East Berlin, constructed between 1951-56 with 3500 employees at its peak.
 
Biggest purposely built sound studio in the world.
 
Industrial event art space for 10,000 persons.
 
MONOM is Berlin's Center for Spatial Sound,
home to the world's most advanced spatial sound instrument.
 
Club and chill out room.
 
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Funkhaus has transformed into a renovated epicenter for global creatives. One highlight of our tour was exploring the world's largest purpose-built recording studio, spanning 12.300 square meters. Our exclusive educational tour provided access to normally restricted areas, witnessing musicians at work and immersing ourselves in the vibrant creative atmosphere. An absolute delight and a highlight for all!
