MEET THE STORYTELLER
Beata Gontarczyk-Krampe
I am a book author, researcher, Berlin fan and history geek whose fascination with Berlin's past inspired her to overcome her fear of speaking German: how else can you ask anyone at the state archive to lend you a hand in your search for a long-dead villa owner from 1869?
Once curiosity prevailed over inhibitions, I could not stop asking new questions and did my best to answer each and every one of them.
This is how my blog, Kreuzberged: Berlin Companion, was born.
My "Berlin Companion" books are available at berlinarium.bigcartel.com (shipping worldwide).
Last but not least, you can download any of my other Berlin audio-tours available at VoiceMap.
