    Russland hin oder her! Dieser Ort hat eben einen Geschichtlichen Hintergrund und unter dem Aspekt betrachtete ich ihn auch. Ich finde ihn, gelungen und dieser Platz, ehrt eben die Gefallenen Soldaten der Sowjetunion. Ich war in den 70ger Jahren öfter in Berlin und fand damals die Wachablösung wirklich beeindruckend!

    Monumentales Ehrenmal im Gedenken an die gefallenen Soldaten der Sowjetunion im zweiten Weltkrieg. Bitte in der aktuellen Situation wertungsfrei besuchen - Soldaten egal welcher Nation sind im 2. Weltkrieg für ihr Land gestorben und haben es verdient, dass man ihrer gedenkt und das man die Ursachen niemals vergisst, damit es niemals wieder dazu kommt!

    Just a stone throw distance away from the Brandenburger Tor towards the Victory Column is this imposing monument. It can be easily seen from the opposite side (Tiergarten) in its full glory. Dedicated to the memory of Russian Soldiers who laid their life during World War 2 in the battle for Berlin. The monument was constructed within months of the war getting over. It very beautiful to see and very nicely maintained. The history is written at the site.

    Those interested in WW2 history will be fascinated visiting this Soviet memorial, it was built quite soon after the battle of Berlin and is right on the battlefield, the 2000 dead Russian soldiers laid to rest here were killed fighting for the Reichstag building, so its quite fitting they should be buried so close to it. As is common with Russian memorials there is tanks and artillery guns displayed on it that were actually used in the battle of Berlin in 1945.

    welcome to one of the cleanest places in Berlin. if visitors knew that beneath this cenotaph are a few thousand bones of Russian soldiers killed in the war, they might stop picnicking here and biting down on an American turkey sausage. before that, of course, you have to dip them in ketchup.

    Built soon after the end of WWII, this is a Memorial to those who died during the battle of Berlin. This memorial is also the gravesite to 2,000 Soviet soldiers killed between April and May of 1945 in the Battle of Berlin. Worth a visit while in Berlin.

    Lovey gate and monument. Well taken care of. There are signs detailing all the history.

    This monument in Tiergarten stands in tribute to the Soviet soldiers who died fighting the Nazis in the Second World War. Like many Soviet war memorials behind the Iron Curtain, the memorial takes the form of a curved stoa topped by a large sculpture of a Soviet soldier. On the day I visited, there was a climate change protest and entry into the memorial was unfortunately fenced off. So I could just see that the memorial is set in landscaped gardens and flanked by two T34 tanks and two artillery pieces on either end of the stoa. Worth seeing if wandering through Tiergarten or even if near the Brandenburg Gate.

    Großes Denkmal für die verstorbenen Soldaten der Sowjetunion im 2. Weltkrieg. Ich würde persönlich sagen, dass wichtigste Denkmal der Sowjetunion in Deutschland überhaupt. Viele Menschen aller Nationen mussten ihre Leben lassen, Menschen mit eigenen Träumen und Hoffnungen, Menschen die selbst leben wollten, aber gestorben sind für die Ziele ihrer Politiker. Frieden ist und bleibt das wichtigste Ziel der modernen Welt. Wir können alles verlieren oder alles bewahren. Es liegt an uns.

    As I stood before the towering Soviet War Memorial in Germany, I was immediately struck by its imposing presence and the weight of its historical significance. Erected in commemoration of the fallen Soviet soldiers who perished during the Battle of Berlin in World War II, this memorial stands as a testament to the sacrifices made in the pursuit of peace and the defeat of tyranny. Located in Treptower Park, Berlin, the memorial's grandeur is unmistakable, with a central 12-meter-tall statue of a Soviet soldier holding a child and a lowered sword, symbolizing the liberation of the next generation from the horrors of war. The soldier's stern yet compassionate expression embodies the solemnity of the moment and the hope for a better future.

    A beautiful memorial for the Soviet soldiers during World War II. Located in the middle of Tiergarten. It is worth the visit while having a walk in the park.

    This is one of the several war memorials; this is erected by Soviet Union in the memory of the about 80k soldiers died in the battle here. The memorial was built in 1945 a few months later after the city capture.

    A memorial tribute to the victorious Soviet army during the Second World War. It's amazing how, despite the geopolitical tendancies, they managed to keep it in the heart of Berlin. After all it's part of the history of the country.

    Worth a visit to this memorial. It’s about half way between Brandenburg Gate and Victory Column so easy to do if you are walking between the two. I visited it on Friday and it was very quiet.

    Small and beautiful memorial that certainly makes the statement as to who won the war.

    A great memorial. The statue that acts as the centrepiece is pretty badass. It’s this huge Russian soldier giving an anti Nazi salute. He give it almost lazily and with such disdain. You can almost feel the powerful smugness of the victory, with the rest of the memorial highlighting how hard earned it was. There is also some controversy surrounding it due to the recent past of Berlin’s segregation. Very interesting. I recommend finding a walking tour that includes it.

    Important monument of historical importance. A reminder that no one should forget the destruction and humiliation of human existence. A reminder so we the people will never let something similar happen again.

    My one of the favorite, give the history background and statistics involved. You must not miss when in Berlin. Also, on the backside, a small gallery is there...some time spent there will do true justice to the background. Loved it.

    One of several Soviet memorial places to commemorate 80k lost in the last Battle for Berlin. I like simplicity of architecture and am also aware how different it is now comparing to period before 1989 with Eastern Germany (DDR) which was under Soviet control. Place worth of visit.

    The Soviet war memorial is one of Berlin's most beautiful monuments. It's the only remaining witness on World War II the place is worth a good time to visit. It is a memorial to the Soviet soldier who is carrying a gun. This is the wall of victory and sacrifice, but the ratio of the Soviets there are engravings on the walls, but the Russian language written on the names of generals and officers who participated in the war and also in the back there are a lot of commemorative images It is a witness to the war and suffering Images is a big story

    The Soviet War Memorial is one of several war memorials in Berlin, the capital city of Germany, erected by the Soviet Union to commemorate its war dead, particularly the 80,000 soldiers of the Soviet Armed Forces who died during the Battle of Berlin in April and May 1945.

    The memorial site of the soviets build after the war. This was in the allied side before the belting wall was build. Interesting tanks

  • 5/5 Fred K. 2 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Impressive memorial presumably in part to impart a sense of power after the war. Unlike many parts of Berlin, this is well-kept.
