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!Video 00:55 minutes The Märkisches Museum’s “Special Silver Inventory” Nearly five hundred silver pieces, including spoons, charm bracelets, children’s rattles and other objects, are stored in a metal cabinet in the Stadtmuseum Berlin’s collection depot.
