History that lives in stories
An exhibition in the stately rooms of the Commandant’s House traces the history of the castle and fortress. It is the ideal starting point for any exploration of the citadel. All explanatory texts are available in both German and English.

Models, maps and plans, paintings and photographs, archaeological finds, dioramas with pewter figurines, weapons, helmets and everyday objects used by the garrison tell the story of historical events that took place at the citadel.
A special section is dedicated to the local wildlife. Information panels with child-friendly descriptions make a visit to the exhibition a pleasure for the whole family.
A pavilion on the south curtain wall also hosts temporary exhibitions organised in collaboration with the Spandau Youth Art School.
