About this school trip

The Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer (Berlin Wall Memorial) on Bernauer Straße is the place to understand how the Wall divided Berlin. On the site, pupils see a reconstruction of the border strip with both walls, the patrol road and the inner wall, and the 'Fenster des Gedenkens' (Window of Remembrance) with portraits of people who died at the Wall.

In the Dokumentationszentrum, the exhibition '1961 | 1989. Die Berliner Mauer' tells the story of the division, and from the viewing tower pupils can look out over the whole area. The memorial has a dedicated educational offer for schools, with tours such as 'Als die Mauer Berlin teilte' (When the Wall divided Berlin) and 'Geisterbahnhöfe im geteilten Berlin' (Ghost stations in divided Berlin). The visit fits in nicely with history lessons.

We are happy to take care of transport to Berlin for you and your pupils. With a comfortable coach and an experienced driver, your group travels safely and in a relaxed way, so you can focus on an educational day.
