Hi visitor, my name is Kai Janssen and I was born and raised on Germanys northwestern coast. I visited Berlin from 1992 on, and later after civil service I decided to make it my hometown- the ideal city for a scholar of history. From 1998 to 2003 I studied History and German Literature at the Freie Universität Berlin with special focus on early 20th century Germany and the rise of fascism. After that I graduated in dramatic arts and music, working as a playwright, dramaturgist and actor. In recent years I have been working with the red cross, organising the food distribution in refugee shelters and holding language classes. And i owned a bar.

I love Berlin because all the dramatic, barbaric and beautiful facettes of German history are still visible in the face of the city. Everything's out in the open, as on the tongue of its population. I'd be happy to see you on one of my tours, either in english or german.
