Highlights

  • Walk Berlin's old government quarter from the Holocaust Memorial to Checkpoint Charlie, along the line where the Wall cut through it.
  • See the field of stelae, the Führerbunker site, the Nazi Air Ministry, the Bundesrat, a 200 m stretch of the Wall at the Topography of Terror and Checkpoint Charlie.
  • Find out why the Wall on Leipziger Platz was built to look tidy for Western tourists, and who the soldiers on Checkpoint Charlie's light box really were.
  • Stand at the Peter Fechter memorial, a short walk from the crowds, where a granite slab marks the exact spot.
  • 12 stops over 2.4 km, about 90 minutes, with English audio you start whenever you like.

Your Experience

A few streets south of the Brandenburg Gate ran Prussia's ministries, then the Nazi state, then the Berlin Wall. Since the war the city has made very different choices about what to show here: one site left as a car park, one dug up and opened, one stretch of Wall kept damaged on purpose, and one famous crossing largely rebuilt.

Start at the edge of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, pass the Führerbunker site and the steel profile of Georg Elser, then walk Wilhelmstrasse to Göring's limestone Air Ministry, the Bundesrat and Leipziger Platz. Follow the Wall's line past the old Prussian parliament and the Gropius-Bau to 200 m of original Wall at the Topography of Terror, then Zimmerstrasse, Checkpoint Charlie and the Peter Fechter memorial.

Twelve stops, about 2.4 km and 90 minutes, flat and on public pavements, at your own pace, in English. Museum entry is not included; the Topography of Terror and the Holocaust Memorial's Information Center are free.
