Oranienburger Straße 30, Berlin-Mitte – The New Synagogue, consecrated in 1866, represented with its more than 3,000 seats, the largest and grandest place of Jewish worship in the whole of Germany. Rebuilt in Moorish style, it gave expression to the self-assured and well-established Berlin Jewish middle class. The synagogue was saved from major damage in the November 1938 pogrom but partially destroyed by bombs in 1943. Starting in 1988, parts of it were restored. A permanent exhibition - "Open the Gates - The New Synagogue 1866-1995" - presents the history of the building and sheds light on aspects of Jewish life in Berlin closely connected to it. The centre also holds temporary exhibitions and has an extensive archive on Jewish history.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is the central place for remembrance and a place of warning. Peter Eisenmans design envisages a Field of Stelae, around 2,700 concrete blocks of different heights, structured in a grid pattern and covering nearly 19,000 sqm of gently sloping ground. Since it is entirely open to all sides, the Memorial can be entered anywhere. The memorial has a complementary underground Information Centre.

Bavarian Quarter, Berlin-Schöneberg - 80 memorial plaques and several information boards and orientation plans hanging from lampposts form a memorial which covers the whole area of the "Bavarian Quarter" and is entitled "Places of Remembrance in the Bavarian Quarter - Exclusion and Disfranchisement, Expulsion, Deportation and Murder of Berlin's Jews between 1933 and 1945". This exhibition shows seemingly harmless pictures and symbols of daily life and contrasts them with Nazi laws and regulations substantiating the progression towards deportation and annihilation.

Berlin-Wilmersdorf and the Putlitzstraße bridge, Berlin-Tiergarten – in memory of the deportations to the extermination camps, which started from these locations.

Berlin-Tiergarten and Große Hamburger Straße, Berlin-Mitte - in memory of the deportation centres where Jews had to assemble before being transported to the extermination camps.

Rosenstraße 2-4, Berlin-Mitte - a commemoration of the "Fabrikaktion" (factory raid) of February 27,1943, during which some 11,000 Jews were picked up in raids on their workplaces and were, for the most part, deported to extermination camps. Hundreds of Jewish men living in so-called "mixed marriages" were released from the Rosenstraße deportation centre after their wives had protested in front of the building for days.

The Berlin Tourist Information is looking forward to your visit!
