Program for Heritage Day 2026
In the museum’s attic—which is otherwise closed to the public—Soviet military personnel left inscriptions in various places. These inscriptions bear witness to the building’s nearly fifty years of Soviet use. Following a brief introductory talk on the daily life of the Soviet armed forces in Karlshorst, participants will explore the inscriptions in small groups, equipped with flashlights.

The tour takes place at 12:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m., and 4:30 p.m.
Under the Open Monument Day theme “NetzWERKE: Monuments and Infrastructure,” the Berlin-Karlshorst Museum offers diverse perspectives on the site’s history—from traces of the Soviet legacy to artistic perspectives on memory and the present.
The program “HISTORY IN LAYERS” reveals how the eventful history of the museum building and its various phases of use are reflected to this day in its architecture and preserved inscriptions. Guided tours and performance art offer insights into the museum’s Soviet heritage, the history of World War II, and the challenges of a multi-perspective culture of remembrance. The program is complemented by a reading café on the museum terrace.
