Eastside section of the former Berlin Wall along the Spree River, now covered with colorful murals.

Commemorative stretch of the historic divide with a preserved section of original wall & memorial.

Sunken monument with empty shelves, marking the site of approximately 20,000 books burned by Nazis.

👍👍 White Crosses is a memorial for those who died during the Cold War at the Berlin Wall. It is located at the shore of the river Spree in Berlin next to the Reichstag building, which houses the German parliament. Established by the private group Berliner Bürger-Verein on the 10th anniversary of the Be...

Soviet memorial with tanks & howitzers commemorating soldiers killed in the Battle of Berlin.

👍👍 Here you can see where the wall crossed through the city, some faces of those who tried to escape as well as pictures of old escape tunnels. There is information in German and English readily available and at the museum you can climb up (for free) to a small platform and get a birds eye view of the...

👍👍 Die Otto Lilienthal Gedenkstätte ist ein hübscher kleiner Park. Vom Fliegeberg in der Mitte des Parks hat man einen tollen Blick… 👍😊

Park with grassland & trees set on the site of the former border between East & West Berlin.

Memorial park with street art & 16 trees planted in 1990 to celebrate German reunification.

👍👍 This statue is built to bring awareness, based on the historical fact that should not be repeated. It is sad to witness such simple and important matter becomes so messy, only because of political reasons.

👍 Old ruins of a place steeped in history. However, you can usually only view them from the outside. The interior is completed.

Imposing statue paying tribute to Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels, the forefathers of communism.

👍👍 The graves of the socialists. An exciting cemetery with a lot of history. Many people don't know that Liebknecht and Luxemburg are not buried in the toboggan at the entrance. The actual gravesite is in the rear area of ​​the cemetery near the Revolutionary Monument. The graves were leveled and re-oc...

👍 During the Second World War, the Schönholzer Heide was a forced labor camp. After the war, a Soviet memorial was built there on the trench of over 13,000 Red Army soldiers. Today a 33 meter high obelisk commemorates the dead man. There are coats of arms of the Soviet military branches on the outer w...

👍👍 Es war wieder mal sehr schön dort, viele Fahrgeschäfte, leider wurden die Preise sehr angezogen, was verständlich ist. Es gibt genug Stände, wo man essen und trinken kann, es war heute sehr gut besucht und dementsprechend sehr voll, man sollte auf seine Geldbörse achten. Hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht!...

👍👍 Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg are still important thought leaders and fighters for a just and peaceful world today. Therefore, remembering them is particularly necessary. Our time needs such role models!

👍👍 A very important site that documents the Nazi terror of the early months after Hitler's coming to power. The place is authentic and has been prereserved in an original form. Signs from that Nazi time can be seen like writings on the wall made by SA men.

👍👍 Sunflowers 🌞 for the fallen soldiers during interfaith prayer. You can always put flowers or candles yourself.

🫤 Viel zu sehen gibt es an der Gedenkstätte nicht. Sie ist etwas abgelegen und schwer zu erreichen. Die Gefängnismauern umgeben die Gedenkstätte. Ein etwas gespenstisches Bild. Es gibt eine Wand mit vielen Kränzen draußen, nur die AfD hat im Gegensatz zu anderen Parteien keinen Kranz hinterlegt. Für d...

👍👍 Sehr gepflegter und erholsamer Park 😊🍁🍂🍃
