Bernauer Strasse border house in Berlin

Bernauer Strasse border house

The Bernauer Straße border house is an important historical place in Berlin that impressively addresses the division of the city during the Cold War. Here you can experience the originals of the border fortifications and the history of the Berlin Wall up close. The Border House is part of the Bernauer Straße monument area, where you will find informative exhibitions and multimedia installations that show the fates of people who lived on this border. The view from the viewing platform, which offers you a direct insight into the former border system, is particularly fascinating. You can also experience the historic site of the fall of the Berlin Wall, where many people found the courage to take the short but rocky path to freedom. A visit to the Bernauer Straße border house is not only educational, but also offers emotional access to recent German history. Be inspired and experience how historical events still shape our society today.
