Sehr beeindruckend und angemessen. Man sollte sich die Zeit nehmen, dort einwenig zur Ruhe und zum Nachdenken zu kommen
The iconic east side gallery is home to some very well known street art. A large open air gallery that once was the berlin wall. Is 1316 metres long and it accommodates art from 118 artists from 21 countries. It officially opened as an open air gallery on 28 September 1990. Just over a year later, it was given protected memorial status.
Super gelungenes Denkmal an die schrecklichen Ereignisse!
Die Interpretation des Künstlers ist wirklich beeindruckend.
Spannend dabei ist, dass eigentlich 4000 Blöcke geplant waren, das Budgets das jedoch nicht zugelassen hatte.
Als wir dort waren, war auf jedem Stein mindestens eine Rose gelegen.
Entering the site, it is more impressive than how it looks from the outside. Once you are in the centre, you do feel more closed off from your surroundings.

The paintings are really beautiful and the wall is quite long. Be careful about the weather 😅 I think you should ideally visit this place in summer so you don’t freeze as I did
A wonderful memorial and museum that is like nothing I have ever seen.
Every stone is different and wandering along the rows not only captivates you but also disorientates you too. The museum is free for visitors and very interesting.
Went on a wet Monday evening as part of our 24 hours in Berlin. It was well lit so we didn’t miss out by visiting in the evening. Easily accessible by train.
Historic place, one of the last pieces of the Wall of Berlin that is still in the original location. Amazing artworks from various graffiti artists.
The best part, it's open air and free to visit. Just try to arrive a bit early so that you don't have to wait in order to take pictures
Such a pity that they allowed property development literally on top of this monument. But I guess money makes the world go around and Berlin officials are obviously notorious money grabbers.
Visiting the East Side Gallery was an unforgettable experience. The vibrant and thought-provoking murals displayed on remnants of the Berlin Wall were not only artistically impressive but also deeply moving. Walking along this historic landmark was a powerful reminder of the resilience and spirit of unity. A must-see for anyone interested in art, history, and the human spirit.

It’s part of the history that worth visiting while you’re at Berlin. This place is less exciting compared to to lots of other museums that you find here. But if you had extra time, definitely go for it.
There are some free street parking available, if not you can on the other side of the bridge.

You can't miss this point of Berlin. It's very cool to see parts of what once was the Berlin eat and now see all the graffiti and beautiful views from the river. The wall museum, on the start of the strip, is all very cool and gives us a very good scope of the history of the wall. If you're visiting the museum, allow at east 2 hours for it if ou like reading all the things.
an installation of approximately 2700 concrete blocks all equally long but differently tall. I wasn't very impressed, perhaps because there were many people, some sitting or lying on top of the blocks. I know there is also an underground part but I haven't seen it.
The most confronting museum I’ve ever visited! Take your time, read the stories, fair warning you’ll likely be pretty sad / angry when you leave the museum..
Recommend paying the €4 for the audio guide with more information

Schönes Denkmal direkt an der Siegessäule gelegen - gemeinsam mit den Denkmälern von Roon und Bismarck. Sollte man auf jeden Fall ebenfalls besuchen, wenn man sowieso bereits an der Siegessäule angekommen ist.

First place we visited following our arrival in Berlin. Roadside artwork is amazing and the otherside of the wall is for art students and the graffiti fraternity to express themselves. Probably the other undecorated parts of the wall found elsewhere in Berlin are more thought provoking though?
Величний #bundestag . Особливо захоплюючий вид зверху , з купола . Там все видно і синагогу, і парк і монастир і #DB і інші компанії . Річку з плаваючими корабликами в сонячні дні прямо заспокоює .
The East Side Gallery in Berlin is like a time-traveling street art history lesson. This stretch of the Berlin Wall is covered in awesome graffiti that tells a powerful story of unity beating division. Seriously, every mural is like a punch in the feels. It's emotional, man! When you go, just know it can get crazy busy, so maybe hit it up when the crowds aren't as nuts for a more chill vibe.

The wall stretches a lot longer than we thought. We took time to enjoy every single graffiti so it took more than one hour to go from the other side to the other end. Lots of interesting graffitis, a lot of which imply the Cold War and historical events. Recommend to go there on a sunny day.

An amazing outside gallery surrounded by such great history. Love the East Side Gallery because there is just so much to see all for free. It’s particularly great to see so much beautiful artwork on something that used to represent something so horrific. This is something great for people of all ages to go and see, however, bare in mind, it can get very busy at times and you may not be able to see certain artwork unless you wait for a while.

Truly great place to visit. The art work on the Berlin Wall is amazing. This is a real piece of history and you can only just imagine what it was like before the wall was torn down. If you go to Berlin this is an absolute must to visit. Plus there is a nice cafe right next to it. Martha's Cafe. If it hadn't started pouring rain I would have stayed longer but I will definitely be revisiting on my next trip.

The wall has a great history in itself which anyone visiting there would be keen to know and the art done on the wall is amazing. It is so beautiful. It feels like just grab a drink and take a good amount of walk along the wall. It was a great adventure for me to see the beautiful graffiti.
The perfect place to immerse yourself in the authenticity of the Berlin Wall.
.
We stayed at the hotel right next to the wall and found the park and wall remains amazing.
.
Here you can really begin to imagine the divide between the east and west side and picture the true scale of the wall along the main street.
.
The street art now dominates the remains and this in itself is a real treat to absorb.
.
100% this is the place to visit to experience the 'wall'
A great way to physically show the next generations the importance of history and why we should always learn from it. Situated actoss from the American embassy with blocks representing age of victims and the design intentionally disorientating once inside it in order to convey the fear experienced by the Jewish community it is dedicated to.

A top place to visit in Berlin.

It's only part of Berlin where you have Berlin Wall present. You can read about bit of History of it there but the best things are the painting and the art on that wall. It's a long stretch of wall with a lot of different paintings present on the wall. If you go behind the walls and if you have seen some previous documentary on Berlin Wall then you can surely feel everything that would have seen. Where were the mines, the river crossing challenge etc.
The monument consists of “The Holocaust memorial” and underground museum. Strongly recommend to visit museum before entering the Memorial itself.
Free entry, just 20-30minutes waiting time in a queue which is worth.
Attn! Museum is not for children.
A unique memorial made in remembrance of a great tragedy. It is certainly worth checking out.

It's within walking distance to the Brandenburg gate.
Fantastic and moving free museum. No need to get the audio guide, as there was an abundance of text and information to read. Very informative, and does not shy away from any topics which is appreciated in a museum with a topic such as this one.

My only issue was we had to wait outside in the sun for around 15 minutes before being let in, but it was very worth it. It also got very crowded in the beginning section, which is a narrow hallway. It was difficult to move ahead as you are at the whim of the people in front of you. I would recommend going at a less busy time.

Overall not a perfect experience but very much a worthwhile and important one.
I really like this simple but meaningful monument. Each time I pass by it catches my eye and reminds me of how one person could be so brave to fight with huge evil machine as was Hitler and his surrounding.
Worth checking

Elser carried out a bomb attack against Hitler in 1939.

This is a nice memorial. You should visit it.

Ein besonderes Denkmal, dass zurecht neben der Siegessäule steht.
A very simple memorial for someone who played a big part in Berlin history.

Das Tim Moltke-Denkmal im Berliner Tiergarten ist ein beeindruckendes Kunstwerk, das die Aufmerksamkeit und Bewunderung aller Besucher auf sich zieht. Das Denkmal besteht aus einer Skulptur, die den deutschen Schriftsteller und Dramatiker Tim Moltke darstellt, der während des Zweiten Weltkriegs ums Leben kam.

Die Skulptur ist sehr realistisch und detailreich gestaltet und zeigt Moltke in einer nachdenklichen Pose, während er auf einem Felsen sitzt. Die Handwerkskunst, die in die Schaffung dieser Statue investiert wurde, ist deutlich zu erkennen, von den feinen Linien im Gesicht des Schriftstellers bis hin zu den Falten seiner Kleidung.

Neben der Statue befindet sich eine Plakette, die Moltkes Lebensgeschichte zusammenfasst und seine Bedeutung als Autor und Künstler hervorhebt. Die Plakette ist informativ und hilft den Besuchern, ein besseres Verständnis für den Mann zu bekommen, den das Denkmal ehrt.

Das Denkmal selbst ist inmitten eines wunderschönen Parks gelegen und bietet einen ruhigen Rückzugsort von der geschäftigen Stadt. Es ist ein Ort des Respekts und der Erinnerung, der dazu einlädt, innezuhalten und über die Bedeutung von Kunst und Kultur nachzudenken.

Insgesamt ist das Tim Moltke-Denkmal ein faszinierendes Kunstwerk, das die Besucher in seinen Bann zieht und ihnen die Bedeutung von Kunst und Kultur nahebringt. Es ist ein wunderschöner Ort, um zu besuchen und zu ehren, was Moltke als Künstler und Mensch geleistet hat. Ich würde es auf jeden Fall jedem empfehlen, der Berlin besucht.

Ein weiteres Denkmal eines Feldherrn in den Einigungskriegen (wie Roon ein paar Meter weiter). Tolle Lage an der Siegessäule, eignet sich alle Mal für ein schnelles Foto - ansonsten wohl nur was für die Geschichtsenthusiasten unter uns.

Visited on 05 Jun 2022, magnificent statue to a great prussian military hero Helmuth von Moltke the elder
Da wo einst Hitlers Domizil war, ragt nun das stählerne Profil von Georg Elser in den Himmel. Nachts leuchtet es und überstrahlt Straße und Bäume. (Tag vom 9.4.2022; danke für den Artikel)
Interesting tribute to a great man. It would be nice to have a panel with his story alongside.
I visited this with my family. After witnessing the horrors of Damascus, we felt lucky to be in the safety of Germany. One of the places we visited in our grateful return to safety was the Memorial to the Murdered Members of the Riechstag. It was to my horror, however, that a man wearing a "4chan" hoodie ran up to my family, pointed to the names on the memorial, and shouted, "High Score!" before promptly scampering to the monument. It would be 5 stars if only the security there was better.
Pretty, abstract sculpture, paying tribute to Johann Elser, artisan, musician and would-be assassin of Hitler. Just read his bio on Wikipedia, intriguing life story.

This monument stands in tribute to Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke, or more often simply Moltke the Elder. Moltke was a fine military strategist who is considered to have masterminded Prussian victories over Austria and France in the latter part of the 19th century.

This monument is a marble sculpture of Moltke wearing a field marshal uniform with the German Iron Cross around his neck. He is depicted with his hands held together at the front, but oddly leaning back on a balustrade.

The statue is realistic if a bit bland and a bit disappointing considering his contributions, not to mention it's prominent location. Only worth taking a look if visiting Tiergarten or the area around Grosser Stern,

This monument stands in tribute to Adelbert von Chamisso, an 18th and 19th century German poet and botanist. His most famous work is the narrative poem, Peter Schlemihl, about a man who sold his shadow. He is also well known in botany for his 1815 to 1818 journey aboard the Russian scientific ship, Rurik, on its journey around the world where he described several new species of plants including the California poppy.

The monument is a bust and depicts von Chamisso as a young man with long and exceedingly fine head of hair. A bit sad that the monument is so far from the main tourist circuit in Berlin, it's close to Monbijou Park. An okay monument, so only visit if you have time.
Not much to see here but so close to other points of interest that is worth coming to see anyway

Interesting monument of famous field marshal of Prussian army. He had also nephew who was commander in WW1.
Bellissimo quartiere con uno splendido parco lungo il fiume.
Read the sign post in front of it, it explains a lot more about what the street used to be like before WW2
wonderful architecture. Lush green lawn to relax during the day time
Good and interesting design of memorial. Slightly crowded/busy area and slightly overlooked by some
The design concept of this memorial is really interesting and effective at communicating the darkness surrounding the deaths of the members of the Reichstag. The memorial is too small to be a destination itself, but it's worth making a point to see if you're visiting the Reichstag or Brandenburger Tor.
