About Berlin Wall Memorial

Start at the visitor center on Bernauer Straße to get your bearings. The memorial follows the former border, with remnants and exhibitions on the division of Berlin. Accounts from residents show what the Wall imposed on everyday life.

Walk the outdoor area and, depending on opening hours, the documentation center and its viewing platform. The view helps you make sense of the elements of the border strip. These testimonies give context to the East Side Gallery murals later on.
