My Bio
Behind Berlin is looking at the small and beautiful views of the German capital - mostly far beside the usual tourist attractions and famous places....

This once was a theme park with long traditions.... built up in times of the German Democratic Republic, it survived the Turnaround and the Millennium. Today there are many uncountable myths around its closedown in 2002... reaching from bankruptcy to the owner being accused of drug trafficking.
However, the park is abandoned by now, being a piece of lost history in south-east Berlin. Several attractions and rides have been dismantled - but still there are some quiet contemporary witnesses of a time when the Spreep
