The Museum Berlin-Karlshorst is an important cultural center that documents the history of World War II and the post-war period. It offers comprehensive exhibitions, educational programs, and events that promote intercultural exchange and convey historical perspectives.
The Museum Berlin-Karlshorst, located in the historic district of Karlshorst in Berlin, is a unique cultural and historical center dedicated to the commemoration and documentation of World War II and the post-war period in Europe.
The main mission of the museum is to document and convey the history of World War II and the post-war period from various perspectives. It promotes exchange and encounters between the nations involved in the war, particularly Germany, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. The museum advocates for a multi-perspective and multi-layered representation of history and emphasizes the importance of memory and understanding for the present[1][2].
The museum is engaged in several initiatives to preserve and promote historical memory:
The Museum Berlin-Karlshorst has been restructured several times since its founding in 1967. After the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Germany, it was re-established in 1995 under a German-Russian sponsorship and later expanded with the involvement of Ukraine and Belarus. The permanent exhibition was last revised in 2013 to provide a modern and multi-layered representation of history[1][2].
The museum is 100 percent funded by the Federal Commissioner for Culture and Media and offers its visitors free admission, including a free audio guide on the first Sunday of each month[1][3].
