10 minsAdmission Ticket Free"Trains to Life, Trains to Death" is a powerful and moving memorial that tells the story of the deportation of Jews from Berlin to Nazi concentration camps during World War II. This poignant site honors the victims who were forcibly taken from their homes and sent on trains to their deaths, symbolizing the cruelty and inhumanity of the Nazi regime. The memorial is dedicated to remembering those who suffered and perished, serving as a reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and the importance of preserving history to prevent such atrocities from ever happening again.Reichstag Building
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Reichstag building is a key symbol of Berlin’s turbulent history. In 1933, a fire ravaged the Reichstag, and the Nazis used it as a pretext to consolidate power, suspending civil liberties and paving the way for their dictatorship. This event played a crucial role in dismantling Germany’s democracy. In 1945, during the final days of World War II, the Soviet flag was raised over the Reichstag after the intense Battle of Berlin, marking the symbolic fall of Nazi Germany. The building now stands as a testament to both the rise and defeat of the Nazi regime and the resilience of those who fought against it.Soviet Memorial Tiergarten
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Soviet War Memorial in Tiergarten is a striking tribute to the Soviet soldiers who fought and died in the Battle of Berlin in 1945. Located in the heart of Berlin, it commemorates the sacrifices made by the Red Army in the final stages of World War II. The memorial features a large statue of a Soviet soldier holding a flag, standing over two fallen Nazi soldiers, symbolizing the defeat of Nazism. Surrounded by a solemn, military cemetery, the site is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the pivotal role the Soviet Union played in the Allied victory over Nazi Germany.Brandenburg Gate
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Brandenburg Gate, one of Berlin's most iconic landmarks, played a significant role during the Nazi era. After Hitler's rise to power, the gate became a symbol of Nazi propaganda, representing the regime's authority and militaristic ideals. The Nazis often used it for rallies and as a backdrop for their grandiose displays of power. During the Third Reich, the gate was adorned with swastikas and was a key site for the regime’s public events. Today, the Brandenburg Gate stands as a symbol of Germany’s reunification, yet its Nazi-era history remains an important reminder of the dark chapter in Berlin’s past.Akademie der Kunste
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Akademie der Künste (Academy of Arts) in Berlin was closely tied to the Nazi regime, particularly through the influence of Albert Speer, Hitler's chief architect and Minister of Armaments. Speer played a key role in shaping the architectural vision of the Third Reich, promoting monumental, neoclassical designs that reflected Nazi ideals of power and authority. Though not directly involved with the Akademie, Speer's architectural influence extended to many of the regime's projects, including those associated with the Academy. After the war, the Akademie underwent a reckoning with its Nazi past, much like other institutions in Berlin, grappling with the legacy of Speer’s influence and the broader complicity of the arts in supporting Nazi propaganda. Today, the Akademie stands as a place for contemporary arts, but its historical ties to the Nazi period are part of the broader discussion on Berlin’s complex past.The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeIs a poignant and solemn tribute to the victims of the Holocaust. It consists of a field of 2,711 concrete slabs of varying heights, creating a powerful and disorienting effect as visitors navigate through the undulating pathways. The memorial serves as a somber reminder of the atrocities committed against the Jewish people and invites reflection on the impact of such historical tragedies.Fuhrerbunker
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeStand above the location of where Hitler spent the last days of WW2, the site of Hitler's Bunkers, location of Hitler's old Reich Chancellory, which was built by Albert SpeerWilhelmstrasse
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWilhelmstrasse was a central hub for the Nazi regime in Berlin, home to several key government buildings, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Reich Chancellery, and the Ministry of Propaganda. The street housed offices of high-ranking Nazi officials such as Joseph Goebbels and played a crucial role in the administration of the regime, including military strategies and the persecution of Jews and other marginalized groups. It was here that important decisions were made that shaped the course of the war and the regime's oppressive policies. After the war, much of Wilhelmstrasse was destroyed or repurposed, but its dark legacy as a symbol of Nazi power remains embedded in the history of Berlin. Today, traces of this past can still be seen amidst the area’s modern redevelopment.Niederkirchnerstraße
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeHermann Goering's former Air Ministry, known as the Reichsluftfahrtministerium, was one of the most important buildings in Nazi Berlin. Located on Wilhelmstrasse, it housed the offices of the Luftwaffe, the Nazi air force, and was a symbol of Göring's power as the head of the Luftwaffe and Hitler's second-in-command. The building's grand design reflected the regime's ambition and authority, and it played a key role in the administration of Nazi military and air operations throughout the war. After the war, the building was largely repurposed, but its association with the regime’s militaristic and oppressive actions remains significant.Topography of Terror
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Topography of Terror is a museum and memorial located on the site of the former SS and Gestapo headquarters in Berlin. It focuses on the role of these organizations in enforcing Nazi repression, persecution, and the Holocaust. The museum features exhibitions with photographs, documents, and accounts that highlight the brutality of the SS and Gestapo, showing how they implemented state-sponsored terror. Built on the original site, it serves as a stark reminder of the horrors of the Third Reich and educates visitors on the Nazi regime's violent legacy.
