The Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial
You start in front of the Reichstag, where bronze letters cast from cannon waited twenty-two years, made by a Jewish family firm that the Nazi regime later robbed and decimated.

Where did the Nazi terror happen, and how does Berlin remember it?
4 walks with different starting points and stories. Compare their maps, stops and duration, then choose where to begin.
Explore these walks
These walks place Nazism, war and remembrance within Berlin's geography. The theme approaches places where power was exercised and the ways its consequences are remembered. The stories keep people at the centre and distinguish between contexts, so the city doesn't become merely a backdrop for dates and familiar historical labels.
In “The Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate”: You start in front of the Reichstag, where bronze letters cast from cannon waited twenty-two years, made by a Jewish family firm that the Nazi regime later robbed and decimated.
In “Berlin's Jewish Quarter”: You go on past the Aronsbachs' stones, the city's first Jewish cemetery, the missing house and Regina Jonas's plaque, and you finish beneath the golden dome of the New Synagogue, with its eternal light found among the rubble in 1989.
In “Bebelplatz and Gendarmenmarkt”: You finish among the mirrors of Berlin's Jewish fashion trade and in front of the building where, on 9 November 1989, a sheet of paper was read out live.
Choose from 4 independent walks in Berlin. Open the one that interests you to see its map, stops and approximate duration before deciding. You don't need to do them all or follow this selection's order; each walk has its own starting and finishing points.

Berlin's Jewish Quarter: from Rosenstraße to the New Synagogue
You go on past the Aronsbachs' stones, the city's first Jewish cemetery, the missing house and Regina Jonas's plaque, and you finish beneath the golden dome of the New Synagogue, with its eternal light found among the rubble in 1989.
Bebelplatz, the Gendarmenmarkt and the Press Conference of 9 November
You finish among the mirrors of Berlin's Jewish fashion trade and in front of the building where, on 9 November 1989, a sheet of paper was read out live.
From Wilhelmstrasse to Checkpoint Charlie: from Nazi power to the Wall
You begin in front of the ministry Göring had built for himself, with more than two thousand offices, where one officer led a circle of resistance.
Berlin, before you go
Berlin alternates broad avenues, courtyards and neighbourhoods with lives of their own. Walk each area slowly and use transport between them: several good walks make more sense than one marathon.
