More information

Located in the heart of Berlin, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe stands as a powerful tribute to the millions of Jewish victims of the Holocaust. This striking site, with its grid of concrete slabs, invites reflection and remembrance, making it a moving destination for visitors from around the world.

A Brief History

The memorial was inaugurated in 2005, following a lengthy public debate about how Germany should commemorate the Holocaust. Designed by architect Peter Eisenman, the site covers nearly five acres and features 2,711 concrete stelae of varying heights, arranged in a seemingly random pattern. Beneath the field lies an information center that offers powerful insights into the lives of those who suffered.

Best Time to Visit

The memorial is accessible year-round and has a unique atmosphere in every season. Warm spring and summer days make for pleasant walks among the stelae, while early mornings or late evenings provide a quieter, more contemplative experience.

Is entry to the memorial free?

Yes, visiting the open-air field of stelae is free of charge. There is also a free entrance to the underground information center, though security checks might cause brief queues at busy times.

How much time should I plan for my visit?

Most visitors spend about 30 to 60 minutes exploring the site and the information center. However, those who wish to delve deeper into the exhibition may want to allow extra time.
