Gerhard is a tour guide in Vienna, where he was born and raised. With a city of such rich historical depth, Gerhard is able to indulge his interests in architecture. He has traveled extensively in Asia and worked for many years in various Mediterranean countries. Additionally, he co-created and curates the unique Third Man Museum. The museum, dedicated to the famous Orson Welles film noire, provides a canvas for exploring the fascinating and crucial post-war period in Vienna. The museum explains the historical backdrop of the film and portrays the everyday life of the city occupied and, like Berlin, divided by the Americans, British, Soviets and French between 1945 and 1955.
