Tag des offenen Denkmals 2026

The programme is accompanied in many places by art, music, small festivals and performances.

With a few exceptions, the events are free of charge, but early registration is often requested for guided tours.

In 2026, the focus will be on NETWORKS – Monuments & Infrastructure.

Under the motto “NETWORKS: Monuments & Infrastructure,” the day of action focuses on the hubs and focal points of a networked community. Connections, supplies, and transportation make social exchange and growth possible in the first place. Which buildings and movable structures shape our paths, have formed a stable infrastructure for centuries, and form the basis of today's social, knowledge, and supply standards?

Berlin has more than 8,200 monuments from various centuries.

In Berlin in 2026, visitors will once again be able to choose their destinations for free tours from more than 300 offers in all districts.

The offer is varied. In addition to guided tours of monuments, the European Heritage Days also include district tours, bus and bicycle tours, cultural events and children's programs.


The German Foundation for Heritage Preservation has been inviting visitors to the Heritage Days on the second weekend in September since 1993. At over 7,500 locations throughout Germany, mostly closed doors open to back rooms / roofs / cellars / courtyards. Private initiatives or volunteers guide up to 5 million participants through our history on this weekend.

We recommend that you study the detailed event overview of the Landesdenkmalamt Berlin in preparation, which will be available on the websites of the Landesdenkmalsamt from August 2025.
