Best places: Monuments in Hoppegarten, Germany

Massive military memorial & cemetery for the millions of Soviet soldiers killed in World War II.

👍👍 Schönes Fleckchen um sich vorm Spiel zu stärken und die Kehle anfechten. Hier gibt's Wurst, Steak, Fischbrötchen, Sandwich, Getränke und nebenan ein kleines Zeughaus. U.N.V.E.U.

2,710 columns forming a vast mazelike Holocaust memorial, with an underground exhibition room.

67m-high gilded column commemorating victory in the Prussian-Danish war, with a deck for city views.

Series of iron plates at Grunewald Station marking the tragic deportation of 50,000+ Jews.

Soviet memorial with tanks & howitzers commemorating soldiers killed in the Battle of Berlin.

👍👍 One of my favourite spots in Berlin. Right on Unter den Linden and close to other sights and attractions, this beautiful statue of Alte Fritz. Better known as Friedrich der Große (Frederick the Great), has an interesting history as well as looks absolutely stunning in its sculpture. Located in the...

👍👍 So beautiful 🤩 clean and fresh air Nice walk up to the top and between the green spaces I liked the view from above and also from below the park is worth a second visit since today the weather wasn’t helping that much to take better pictures

👍👍 A beautiful monument to our three great, world-famous composers was erected here. Worth seeing. You can linger around wonderfully.

👍👍 Ein Ort an dem die ganzen Holocaust-Leugner endlich mal den Mund halten. Liebe Mitbürger der Sinti und Roma, Deutschland steht in Ihrer Schuld.

👍👍 Great place for shopping for groceries. Workers can be a bit preoccupied though.

Former late-19th century gasworks, now a landmark historic monument used for conventions & events.

👍👍 Interesting object near the Südkreuz. The 12,000-ton concrete structure was built in the 1940s as a soil-stress testing facility and continued to operate after the war until the mid-1980s. The construction is well documented on site and there is no entrance fee. Unfortunately, access to the technolo...

Stark stone cube with a video screen honoring the gay men criminalized & killed by the Nazis.

😐 Human arms do not work like this.

👍👍 Home of the amazing BrewDog Berlin taproom. Enjoy an excellent selection of craft beer in what must be one of the coolest taprooms ever.

👍 Don't confuse the Peace Column here on Kreuzberg's Mehringplatz with the Victory Column in the Tiergarten! The Peace Column is much smaller and commemorates the long period after the so-called wars of liberation in the 19th century. The monument ensemble also includes the two statues “Peace” and “Kl...

😐 Das Denkmal ist mir zu heroisch. Es ist Zeugnis eines Geschichtsverständnises aus einer Zeitepoche, die nicht mehr existiert. Bewahrenswert ist das Denkmal in meinen Augen aber auf jeden Fall. Besser gefällt mir das dezente, bescheidene "Denkmal für die polnischen Befreier" an der TU Berlin (Straße-...

👍👍 This is a small, chilling memorial to the more than 70,000 individuals murdered (“euthanized”) under the “mental hygiene” program called Aktion T4 (short for the address of the Chancellory office at Tiergardenstraße 4, where the memorial is now located). The actual memorial is a long, translucent b...

😐 As others have already explained here, it is the bell for the 1936 Olympic Games. At that time, of course, it hung in the bell tower and was damaged in World War II, meaning it could no longer be used. Its current location on the stadium grounds is therefore “far” away from the bell tower and has de...
