German History Museum — Berlin

The museum is not expected to open until the end of 2025. No official date has been set and probably will not be until closer to the end of the renovations.

Thanks everyone. I was thinking of planning a visit to Berlin next October to visit that museum. Maybe not.

There are museums pertaining to German history outside of Berlin too...Potsdam, Wustrau, Seelow, Wünsdorf

It is that museum that I have always wanted to visit. My interest begins in the early 1800s. I am curious about these other museums. Thank you!

Is there a special part of German history that you are interested in?

Markk, since you asked, I will hijack this thread. I want to visit one or more Franco-Prussian musuems or memorials. Thoughts?

Are you still interested in a museum on the Franco-Prussian War if it is located in France? Likewise with the military cemeteries of the Germans and the French located in Lorraine pertaining to the war?

Two monuments and memorials dedicated to German troops killed in that war I know of and have seen located in Germany are in Magdeburg and Eutin/Holstein. They're located in the Zentrum.

If you want to see soldiers' memorials and monuments in France pertaining to the Franco-Prussian War, three places immediately come to mind which I've seen and without having to check my notes. These are big and extensive memorials.

1. The soldiers' memorial in Troyes, can't miss it. Troyes is central to other battlefield sites connected with Napoleon (if you're interested in that too) , ie Arcis-sur-Aube and Brienne-le-Chateau, both places accessible by bus from the depot near the train station.

2. Toul in Lorraine

3. Soissons.

All are within walking distance from the train station.

@ Mark....Thanks for the list of sites in Berlin, totally unknown to me, very revealing and enlightening.
