Berlin Story Bunker — Attraction in Berlin

To start, this museum could be better named. It isn't at all about the story of Berlin as could be assumed with its name. Instead, it is focused on A-H's rise to power. Also, this is not a museum with artifacts. Instead, it uses wall posters and the audioguide to give visitors an extremely in-depth look into the life of A-H. This means you will be walking through each room of the museum following events of A-H's life.

That being said, if learning about A-H is what you want, then this is the best museum for you. First off, being placed in a WWII bunker gives the museum an awesome atmosphere. Second, if you actually go through the entire audio guide and go into each room, it will take you around three hours. Thirdly, I was impressed by how reasonable the prices were. Most audio guided tours are much more expensive.

There are some graphic images at parts, but the workers will tell you what sections to skip if you have young children. If you bring a stroller, you will need to carry it down some steps as well.

It does get busy, and the rooms are rather small (being in a bunker and all). Also, as everyone is going through the museum in the same order, it is easy for it to be really cramped. I recommend going right when it opens to avoid the crowd as much as possible.

As for languages, the museum has pretty much ever display in both German and English. So if you don't know those, you will be pretty dependent on the audio guide.

In all, if you are wanting to become an expert on A-H, and learn a lot about him, this is the museum for you. We really...

This is another museum about third reich in Berlin. The museum has 2 exhibitions: Hitler and the third reich - how could it happened? this is the main one. and the other exhibition is the Berlin story, I went to the main one only. the price is 12 Euros, and if you take the mp3 audio-guide it is another 1.5 Euros, but it is not a must! Just follow the number of room from 1 to 36. Each room has a lot of information and a lot to read. The museum is in an actual bunker that was first used nazis to hide from air bombs, near a place named Anhalter Station. Later it was opened to the general population. The tour takes about 2-5 hours, depends on yor pace. Because you are all the time inside an actual bunker it could be somewhat clastrophobic sometimes. Almost every room there is a chair you can sit and read what you need. For me I haven't learned many new things because I know well the history and also it is not a very authenthic museum. Most of the exhibits are replicas and most of them are not original, and the subject - "Hitler - how did it happen" is VERY pretentious. After visiting all the room 1 to 36, you enter a small cafeteria and book-store and WC. In the cafeteria there is coffee and some snacks, you take what you like and each item is 1-Euro, you pay when you leave, there are no waitres. No photos can be taken inside they are very...

Visited on a Tuesday afternoon. The museum is set in a WW2-era air-raid-shelter-bunker. The theme is “How could this happen?”, going over the life of Adolf Hitler, and the rise and fall of the Nazi party.

There are a lot of pictures and a lot of reading involved, but all of it is insightful and well-presented chronologically. It tells a good story about how the country slowly descended into fascism. You can do this in 1-4 hrs depending on how much you want to read, or take the included audioguide (though I wish there was an option to scan a QR code and listen on my own airpods). In the end, you are treated with a scale model of Hitler’s fuhrerbunker and a reconstruction of one of the rooms — it’s the cherry on top.

There is also a special section on Ukraine (mostly contains internet memes) and another section on post-war Germany (which doesn’t match the Hitler section in content and you’ll be burned out by the time you get there anyway). I wish they just made this part of the museum free so that it could get more audience.. I was the only one there when I visited.

I strongly recommend the Hitler part of this museum. No other museum in Berlin covers Hitler and the Nazi party in this much detail. Well worth an entire afternoon. My only advice.. don’t come hungry and carry a water bottle or soda — this is a big museum and reading...
