Marienfelde refugee transit camp, Transit camp and museum in Marienfelde, Berlin, Germany.

The Marienfelde Refugee Center Museum contains over 900 documents and artifacts that show how East Germans sought freedom in West Berlin during the Cold War period.

The camp started operating in 1953 as a reception center for East German refugees, processing approximately 200,000 immigrants during its first year of operation.

The permanent exhibition displays personal items from the 1960s, including radios and household objects that refugees brought during their journey to West Berlin.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 11:30 to 17:00, with guided tours available every Sunday at 15:00.

A reconstructed refugee living space demonstrates the basic conditions refugees experienced while staying at the camp during the 1950s Cold War period.
