Topography of Terror

During the Second World War, the central institutions responsible for the repressive and criminal policies of National Socialism were located on the terrain of the Topography of Terror. This is where Himmler and his assistants made important decisions concerning the persecution of political opponents. There is no other site where terror and murder were organised on the same scale, by reasons of “germanisation”.

Hebbel Theater

“The Hebbel theatre is in the midst of a large expanse of rubble and is so far unheated, but humans still flock in.” (November 1949) The theatre – located in the American Sector – used to take coal from guests as entrance fee in order to warm up the house.

And until today the theatre is well visited owing to its unique charm. Since its establishment in the year 1907/08 it developed to a folk theatre in the best sense, with public favourites such as Harald Juhnke. It belongs to the most important stages for contemporary and performance art.
