Anniversary program "10 years unveiled. Berlin and its monuments"

In the final room of the “Enthüllt” museum, there are six monuments from East Berlin that were dismantled after reunification and initially disappeared into warehouses or were even buried underground. All West Berlin monuments erected before the end of the Cold War still stand at their original locations in the city.

In a dialogue-based tour led by Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk, an expert on GDR history and German-German memory culture, the individual monuments are presented and their impact on collective memory is discussed.

Visitors’ opinions are also sought when it comes to controversial topics: How democratic was the dismantling of East Berlin monuments in 1990–91? Are there West Berlin monuments that at least require a critical assessment? What impact do the wounds of division—and especially of reunification—have on today’s society?
