West Alliierte in Berlin e.V.

History museum

👍👍 Small, club-run museum on the Allied history of Berlin with a view of the Berlin Olympic Park and the former British headquarters. Many small and large memories can be seen and many photos. The guest book is a reflection of the international visitors. Even then it's worth browsing through it. Admiss...

The actual memorial is a long, translucent b...
