Dirk loves to "cruise" through the city on one of his East Berlin Simson mopeds. The trained motor vehicle and armoured car mechanic maintains the six family heirlooms with great passion. Preserving old things for posterity has also brought Dirk to the Berlin City Museum. He has been working here as an in-house technician since 2019 and is also responsible for the smooth operation of the Ephraim-Palais museum in Berlin's Nikolai neighbourhood. Of course, it's clear which exhibit in the "BerlinZEIT" is Dirk's favourite!
