Guided Tour and Discussion: “The Soviet Legacy of the Berlin-Karlshorst Museum”

Following the tour, participants are invited to engage in a discussion about how to deal with historical traces and the challenges of a contemporary culture of remembrance.

• The guided tour takes place at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., and 2:30 p.m.

Under the Open Monument Day theme “NetzWERKE: Monuments and Infrastructure,” the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst offers diverse perspectives on the site’s history—from traces of the Soviet legacy to artistic interpretations of 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.
