It was very emotional to walk along the remnants of the wall and read all the stories dotted along the memorial site. The photos painted onto the residential buildings on Bernauerstrasse and Ackerstrasse where the road was literally split by the wall were especially touching. It was a great way to spend some time alone and in contemplation during a... More

The memorial is a good view of Hitler's Berlin and taking of Germany but I was disappointed that it did not talk about the Communist raising of the wall. Interesting that it was left out????

Very, very important stop to see while you are in Berlin. The wall recreation is very impressive as are the exhibits. It's free and a must see.

The collections of photographs as well a piece of the wall give you goose skin when reviving how those people where split in two by a dictatorial regime... We shall not forget what happened here.

A section of the wall has been left standing. You have to see it as it's part of history, but it won't take long to walk round.

During my trip to Berlin I visited all three main sites where the wall is still in situ - East Side Gallery, topography of terror and this one. This was by far them most moving, and is my absolute recommendation if you are limited on time and need to know what to pick. The full structure of the wall still... More

It was quite an experience walking through this outdoor exhibit, explaining and showing the history and tragedy of the people on both sides of the wall, as well as the soldiers protecting it. It is really unbelievable that this could be built, and all the human tragedies which followed. The exhibits show photos, videos, audio recordings (in English as well... More

I am not sure the relationship of the this to the wall... Guess I am not "artsy" enough to get it? If you are in the area... Stop by and take a look but not worth a special trip... Nice place to take a break and rest up for the next event.

We spent several hours at this site which has multiple parts. Don't miss the area where you can go up to the top of a small museum tower and look across at an area of the wall that is maintained with both sides of the wall, the no mans land and a guard tower. It is chilling. The overall site... More
