That’s right! I’m now an author! My colleague, Roland Stöber, and I wrote a book together about the Berliner Mauerweg (the Berlin Wall Bike Trail). It’s called:

Zweimal um die Halbe Stadt

Per Fahrrad entlang der Berliner Mauer – Damals und Heute

and in English:

Twice Around West Berlin

Exploring the Berlin Wall by Bike – Then and Now

What’s it about?

The cool thing about this project is that Roland and I both cycled along the path of the Berlin Wall when we were approximately thirty years old. Roland’s trip took place thirty years after the Wall was erected, and my journey was thirty years after the Wall had been taken down. To add to all these thirties: this year marks thirty years since Germany reunited! Our stories will tell you what it was like along the border then and now.

Zweimal um die halbe Stadt

^^ That’s the title of the book in German. But don’t worry, hard copies are available in English as well as German, will be on Amazon Ebooks in both languages. 🙂

There’s more!

The in-color book includes a multitude of pictures from 1988 and 2018. Additionally, each chapter contains a QR code and link where you can access all of the maps for that section of the trail.
