HITLER'S BERLIN - The Imperial Capital during National Socialism

- THE NAZIS´COMMAND CENTRE Hitler's notorious bunker
- TOPOGRAPHY OF TERROR EXHIBITION The Gestapo cellars
- GERMANIA Plans for a new imperial capital.

Hitler's BERLIN — Hitler's suicide in his so-called `Führerbunker´ on April the 30th, 1945, marked the end of the Second World War in Europe, and thus the de-facto end of the Third Reich in Germany. Eight metres below ground, and with walls four metres thick, the combined internal floor space of the `Vorbunker´, as well as the `Führerbunker´ itself, amounted to about 15 by 20 metres, with ceilings at a height of more than 3 metres. This, the location of Germany's most famous and notorious underground installation, where Hitler's body was cremated, is to this day shrouded in legend. What can be seen of the former Reich Chancellery and Führerbunker? Our subject-based tour shows you this historic location, as well as the Holocaust Memorial, the Topography of Terror exhibition on the site of the former Gestapo headquarters, and, in cooperation with the BERLINER UNTERWELTEN organisation, genuine World War II underground installations.

JEWISH BERLIN - Locations, History and Accounts of Jews in Berlin

Jewish Berlin — Prior to World War Two, Berlin was home to over 200,000 Jews. A mere 5,000 survived the city's period of National Socialism. Berlin would have developed quite differently without the Jewish population's cultural, academic and economic contribution. We point out the locations and identify centres of Jewish activity, recount history and anecdotes from the diverse Jewish life of Berlin. Museums allow you to experience four centuries of Jewish culture. Visit with us the "New Synagogue - Centrum Judaicum", and the sites that call to mind the Nazis' annihilation of Berlin's Jews. We take you on a tour of discovery through Jewish Berlin, from the past to the present day.

SACHSENHAUSEN CONCENTRATION CAMP- A Place of Evil

Sachsenhausen concentration camp — "First they came for the Communists,
- but I was not a communist, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists,
- but I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews,
- but I was not a Jew, so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me"

MARTIN NIEMÖLLER

The writings of German theologian Martin Niemöller, himself an inmate of Sachsenhausen concentration camp from 1937, reflected the dilemma for many Germans after the war: did they really know nothing of the incomprehensible Nazi atrocities, or did they prefer not to know? Make up your own mind.

Sachsenhausen was the first of the German concentration camps. Between 1936 and 1945, more than 200,000 people of over 40 nationalities were confined there, of whom thousands perished from malnutrition, sickness, exhaustion, abuse, or were murdered by the SS. Initially planned as a prototype and training centre, it later became the administrative headquarters for all concentration camps.

Mass shootings in the back of the neck of "politically and racially unacceptable" prisoners of war in a purpose-built installation took place from October 1941. The death marches, which followed the camp's evacuation in April 1945, claimed the lives of thousands more inmates.

We'll view the barracks, cells and places of execution.

THE MYTH OF PRUSSIA - The Rise and Fall of a Superpower
Crown, Culture and Cannons

The myth of Prussia — Prussia, one of the great powers of the `old Europe´, is no more than a reminiscence of a bygone era and all that remains of the Prussian state is its idea and its culture. By contrast, Prussia`s desire for its own convictions, beliefs and interpretations, has never been more relevant. One sees in Prussia what one wants to see: reformation or repression, greatness or the desire to be great, enlightenment or absolutism, cultural and religious tolerance or political repression. Frederick the Great or William the Second? A state with a large army, or a large army attached to a state? We show you the whole story.

THE COLD WAR - - The East-West Conflict in Berlin

The Cold War — - The Cecilienhof (Potsdam conference with Stalin, Churchill and Truman)
- Checkpoint Charlie
- Berlin Wall Museum
- Allied Museum

The Cold War, often referred to as the East-West Conflict, lasting from 1945 until 1999, has its roots in the politically, militarily and socially adversarial superpowers of the USA and the Soviet Union, The tension between the USA and the USSR increased rapidly after the end of the war and quickly led to insurmountable difficulties and dangerous scenarios on a global political scale. This conflict of two political and ideological systems was played out using all available means, but never quite to the extent of open, direct warfare. For many years, Berlin stood at the very centre of these frictions. Our tour shows you key Cold War sites such as Checkpoint Charlie, we also visit the Museum of the Berlin Wall and the Allied Museum.

Traces of World War II

Traces of World War II — During World War II, Berlin was almost completely destroyed. In 1945, the city was virtually reduced to ashes and until today has kept many of the scars and traces left by World War II. One of these architectural reminders is the bunker located at Reinhardtstrasse, 18 meters high and covering an area of 1000m², now a gallery of contemporary art where you can clearly identify the holes and leaks on its walls. We also show you the remnants of Anhalter Bahnhof, once Europe's biggest train station and a building of architectural splendor where Germany's last Emperor, Wilhelm II, welcomed his royal guests. On a tour through Berlin, you can see the bullet marks on many walls of old buildings. After this tour you will understand why the Germans are very aware of their past.
