Karlshorst Museum

The museum

The surrender at the Soviet headquarters in Berlin-Karlshorst was the ceremonial act that sealed the joint victory of the anti-Hitler coalition and with which the Wehrmacht leadership acknowledged its complete defeat – thus ending the Second World War in Europe. The hall in which the signing took place has been preserved to this day and forms the heart of the Karlshorst Museum.

The museum has changed several times over the course of its history.
It is important for visitors to understand that some exhibits/areas of the museum bear witness to this change.

The illustrations

Three cartoons are intended to explain this topic in an appealing way.

• The museum before the fall of the wall with tanks, flags, heroics. (Sepia color.)
• The museum at the time of reunification: what should happen to the old display? “Is this (our) history, or can it go?” (Black and white)
• The museum today: some exhibits bear witness to the perspective of that time. “A museum within a museum” (in color)
