At the historical site, the permanent exhibition on the former border strip explains the purpose and function of the Berlin Wall.

The guided tour takes place in English.

The Berlin Wall was only one part of the GDR’s border regime: For many people, the Baltic Sea also became an escape route—and for some, a deadly barrier. The special exhibition on escapes across the Baltic Sea combines the art of Marie Jeschke with historical objects from the Berlin Wall Foundation.

People who are blind or visually impaired explore the historic site on Bernauer Straße through auditory and tactile experiences.

Together with the Department of Archaeology at the University of York, the Berlin Wall Foundation is offering a scholarship from the White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities for a dissertation on Checkpoint Charlie.

We have launched the new online exhibition "Arriving. Life After Forced Migration".

The online exhibition provides an insight into the personal stories of people who came to Germany as refugees in 2011/12 and lived for a time in the temporary accommodation for refugees in the immediate vicinity of the Marienfelde Refugee Reception Center.

Live Speaking in the outdoor area takes place every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

This offer is currently only available in German.

The new, digital tool Heimat-Builder is part of the online exhibition "Nach der Flucht. How we want to live", which we are currently preparing.
