Berlin becoming flea market hub

DPA , BERLIN

A jovial, blond-haired woman, she horded Teddies over a 30-year span, stashing them in every room of her spacious Kurfuerstendamm apartment, which ultimately earned her a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

"I started acquiring bears at a young age, when there were few bear collectors around. I got most of them at German flea markets," she says.

Today, Bredow's collection is housed in the Teddy Bear Museum in Hof, Bavaria.

"Everything is possible in Berlin," says coin dealer Morawietz, who revels in Berlin's diversity.
