Haus am Checkpoint Charlie

posted by lbellinger on 24 March 2011 at 11:05

Famous as a crossing point from West to East when the wall was up, today you can see the small hut where big decisions were made, as well as be photographed by the sign that marked the territories. Small but really interesting.

East Side Gallery

This is the longest stretch of the Berlin wall left standing and stretches out for about a mile from the Ostbahnhof. It's covered with graffiti that was painted on it subsequent to the rest of the wall coming down and is an inspiring monument to freedom and democracy. You can buy chunks of the wall in the shop here as well as get your passport stamped with the stamps of the old GDR.

Museum Insel

posted by khill on 16 November 2010 at 17:27

This is the most spectacular collection of Museums on a single site anywhere in Europe. If you don't have time to see them all, make sure you hit the Pergamon Museum which is the site where the majority of the Pergamon Temple from Turkey has ended up as well as one of the Gates of Babylon! The Scale of the theft is quite incredible, but to give it credit, it is a beautifully kept and curated museum and its highly unlikely that it's treasures would look nearly so good had they not been relocated here.

Pergamon Museum

My girlfriend and I walked around this museum in astonishment...i guess in the old days when you wnated to remember something from your travels you just picked it up and took it home, regardless of whether it's the facade of a palace or an altar. Spectacular and remarkable, and kinda makes you wonder where the rest of the poor buildings went to!

Berlin Wall Remnants

posted by gkifer on 14 October 2010 at 15:10

Looking at the wall, this bit is just over 1km long i think, it's really odd to imagine that it went all the way through berlin and divided the city. it's got loads of really intersting painting on and as you walk along you can really grasp the importance of the wall's history, much mkore so than seeing bits of it in a museum.

where, when, how, web
Mühlenstrasse between Warschauer Strasse and the Ostbahnhof, train or s-bahn ostbahnhof
