Wall Museum, History and military museum at Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin, Germany
The Wall Museum displays a collection of artifacts, documents, photographs, and personal belongings related to the Berlin Wall and Cold War military history.
The museum opened in 1963 shortly after the Berlin Wall construction, documenting escape stories and resistance movements through authentic materials from that period.
The exhibits present thousands of photographs and documents detailing the life experiences of Berlin citizens during the physical and political separation of Germany.
Located near the Friedrichstrasse underground station, the museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM with exhibits in multiple languages.
The museum contains original escape devices, including a hot air balloon, modified vehicles, and concealed compartments used by East Germans to cross the border.
