Epic visit to the German Historical Museum in Berlin!
The Deutsches Historisches Museum (German Historical Museum) in Berlin is one of the greatest museums in the world (if not THE) when it comes to medieval exhibits. I got only all the weapons and the video still came out one hour long!
This long video full of medieval and renaissance weapons was an idea that I had as sort of a Christmas present for you guys (since I'm here in Berlin this Xmas)! I hope you enjoy your virtual Christmas tour in probably the best museum in the world of this kind!
Deutsches Historisches Museum Berlin, German and European History
The German Historical Museum (DHM) in Berlin was founded in 1987 in celebration of the 750 years festivity of Berlin and is located inside the Zeughaus in Unter den Linden. The opening of the DHM was supported by the then Bundeskanzler Helmut Kohl, but was also critisized by some instances at the same time.
The exhibition presents articles not only of the German History, but also of European level, due to the European and the specific German history having always tightly been linked to each other.
This film presents impressions of the permanent exhibition part, representing all historical and cultural aspects such as religion, music arts, literature, life style, science and politics.
I am specifically interested in museum designing and therefore tried to get the exhibition's aesthetics depicted.
Actually the controversial discussed special exhibition Hitler und die Deutschen is presented in the museum, but due to a filming interdiction, it is not part of this movie (the poster is shown). Hitler und die Deutschen was criticized due to its focus on Hitler's way to fascinate his people.
Famous historical characters (such as Martin Luther and J. W. v. Goethe) as well as aspects of the Nazi-terror-period are part of this 5- minutes- German- history overview. Also the spectacular See-Through man of Frant Tschackert from 1934 is presented.
Das Deutsche Historische Museum (DHM) wurde 1987 anlässlich der 750 Jahrfeier der Stadt Berlin eröffnet. Es befindet sich „Unter den Linden im „Zeughaus von Ost-Berlin. Die Eröffnung der Ausstellung, die erst über Umwege nach dem Zerfall der DDR zur derzeitigen Lokalität gelangt ist, ist maßgeblich durch das Engagement Helmut Kohls unterstützt worden.
Die Ausstellung muss nicht als Präsentation einer explizit deutschen Vergangenheit verstanden werden, sondern wird von mir als ein Streifzug durch die europäische Geschichte gesehen, mit der die Entwicklungen im deutschen Raum schließlich meist unzertrennbar verknüpft waren.
Dieser Film zeigt einige Impressionen der permanenten Ausstellung und berücksichtigt wesentliche historische und kulturelle Aspekte wie Religion, musikalische Komposition, Wissenschaft, Literatur und Politik.
Ich bin zudem allgemein an Museums-Gestaltungen interessiert und habe mich im Film daher darum bemüht, insbesondere auch der musealen Ästhetik gerecht zu werden.
Die kontrovers diskutierte Ausstellung „Hitler und die Deutschen wird derzeit als Sonderausstellung präsentiert, wird im Film jedoch aufgrund eines generellen Fotoverbotes nicht gezeigt (Das Werbeposter wird allerdings eingeblendet).
Berühmte Persönlichkeiten wie Martin Luther, J. W. v. Goethe oder König Friedrich Wilhelm III. von Preußen werden in dieser 5- Minuten- Reise durch die deutsche Geschichte ebenso thematisiert wie Aspekte des Naziterrors. Auch der durchsichtige Mensch (gläserner Mann) von Franz Tschackert erstmals gezeigt in der Dresdner Hygieneausstellung im Jahre 1930 wird präsentiert. Des weiteren ist die Brennkammer einer V-2 Rakete im Fundzustand filmisch dokumentiert.
The Zeughaus / German Historical Museum
The former Zeughaus arsenal is one of the most significant examples of Baroque architecture in Berlin. The main portal is surrounded by sculptures worshipping the art of warfare. The builder-owner immortalized himself by hanging his portrait in gilded bronze directly over the entrance, weighing a total of 150 kg.

Housed in the baroque Zeughaus on Unter den Linden, the Deutsches Historisches Museum (German Historical Museum) tells the story of 2,000 years of German history. Across 8,000 square metres and 7,000 exhibits you can chart the conquests of Charlemagne, uncover Luther's Theses, learn about the origins of the Second World War and get acquainted with German reunification. A chronologically-arranged layout takes you from the early-Middle Ages to the present day. The exhibits shift engagingly between art and everyday objects: paintings of historical scenes sit alongside armour, a vacuum cleaner alongside GDR sheet music.
In 1987, Chancellor Helmut Kohl signs the founding document for the museum on the 750th anniversary of the city. A historical boom creates the right context for such a large project. The Federal Government is confident about the ambitious plan and lays the foundation stone on Berlin's Spreebogen. Then the wall falls and everything changes. The still youthful Deutsches Historisches Museum Foundation receives all relevant collections and moves into the Zeughaus. In 2003, the architectural icon Ieoh Ming Pei designs an additional exhibition hall for temporary exhibitions. The large permanent exhibition through which you pass today opens in 2006. German History in Images and Artefacts encompasses nine eras across two floors, filled to capacity with art and history. Move chronologically through the upper floor, which begins with the Middle Ages. Here you can see a collection of armour, presented in great detail. Then view filigree-embroidered tunics belonging to princes and knights from c.1750. Across the imperial age you can see two-wheeled penny farthings and the very first automobiles.
The tour then takes you to the first floor where you'll find photographs and old election posters from the Weimar Republic. The rooms on the years following 1945 are concerned with the difficult period of reparation. See original CARE packages from the United States and maps of German occupied zones. The tour eventually leads you to an original piece of the Berlin Wall and on through the 1990s. All exhibits in the museum look at historical processes, revolutionary events, and fundamentally, the people behind them. The exhibition offers insight not only into the big stories and epoch-making figures, but also small everyday experiences. Again and again at the Deutsches Historisches Museum you are immersed in the lives of everyday people. You will find alms bowls, women's fashion from the 19th century and even tickets to the Nuremberg war crimes trials.
From the Deutsches Historisches Museum, you can visit the Neue Wache right next door. It is the central memorial site for victims of war and tyranny. The bronze sculpture Mother with her Dead Son by Käthe Kollwitz sits inside, inviting you in for a moment of reflection. Located just a few minutes away you'll find the Forum Willy Brandt Berlin. Here you will learn about the fourth Chancellor, from his days as a young worker in Lübeck to his metamorphosis into a globally-respected statesman. The German Bundestag's art collection holds regularly changing exhibitions, presenting works from the contemporary art scene. About 15 minutes away from the Zeughaus lies the Tränenpalast. Border experiences - life during the division of Germany is the title of its permanent exhibition. The nearby DDR Museum presents the daily life of GDR citizens. Take a simulated Trabi ride and browse cabinets, hear music played on a carat turntable and enter a prefabricated apartment. Berlin City Palace and the new Humboldt Forum are also situated a mere 800 metres away.

German Historical Museum, Berlin Cathedral and Mall of Berlin
Visited German Historical Museum | the Berlin Cathedral | roaming around the Mall of Berlin and passed by the Humboldt University
Our day 3- highlight of this day: to visit the Berlin Cathedral and the Mall of Berlin.
After having breakfast, we headed to the metro station and took the metro to Friedrichstraße Bahnhof, and from there its 15 min. walking to the Cathedral, but for us it took us almost an hour because there are nice shops along the way. ???? We made several stops in some nice shops like Lush- i bought some bubble bath bombs, and we stopped by at Starbucks to get some cappuccino because unfortunately it was a bit cold that day and a cup of warm cappuccino would help us get through the day. We shopped at Zara- Anna’s favorite shop and we scored some stuffs ????
We continued walking along Unter den Linden, and i ran into a “Disney” mascot, i did not know that i have to pay for a photo, he/she showed me a €10 bill and made a sign that i should pay- well, i even did not ask for a photo so i did not give any money, but glad the mascot immediately walked away. From the same street, we visited ????Neue Wache (New Guardhouse) and in the middle of the room is a sculpture of a “Mother with her Dead Son and the oculus”. (See video) We also passed by ????Humboldt University- it is said that Albert Einstein was a professor of the said university. Few meters away is the ????German Historical Museum, a must visit also, after so many stops, we finally arrived at the Cathedral! We only stayed outside, and because it was late and we were cold so we decided to take a bus to Mall of Berlin, that was 15 min. by bus. We arrived at the mall at 3:00 pm, exhausted and thirsty ???? but there, we were able to get something to drink in one of the restaurants... we stayed there until 6:00 pm. And took the metro again back to our hotel... tired but mission accomplished!

The Deutsches Historisches Museum - German Historical Museum
The Deutsches Historisches Museum (DHM), German Historical Museum, was founded in 1987 by the chancellor of Germany, Helmut Kohl and the mayor of Berlin, Eberhard Diepgen on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the founding of Berlin. It is situated in the Zeughaus, the oldest structure on the Unter den Linden avenue in central Berlin.

GERMAN HISTORICAL MUSEUM IN BERLIN
The Museum covers a large part of German History (from 100 B.C. to 1994).
Here are some photos of the permanent excibits that most astonished me! (It has even one of Napoleon Bonaparte's hats and a bird-like mask used by doctors during Bubonic Plague to avoid the disease...!)
Hope to be astonished too!
From Nefertiti to Beuys — Berlin’s museums (1/2) | DW Documentary
Berlin has a unique treasure trove: the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.
It is one of the five largest universal collections in the world, including 20 museums with over five million objects from the bust of Nefertiti to the art of Joseph Beuys.
The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation includes one of the world's largest libraries as well as outstanding archives and research institutes. Among the stars of its gigantic collection, which encompasses all areas of cultural tradition from the Stone Age to contemporary art, are the bust of Nefertiti in the Neues Museum, Hans Holbein's portrait of the merchant Georg Gisze in the Gemäldegalerie, and the installation Das Kapital” by Joseph Beuys in the Hamburger Bahnhof. But the Berlin museums do not only exhibit, they also search for answers to the great questions of humanity: How can we open up the world and its resources and yet live in harmony with it? And how can we better understand and shape reality through our rich cultural heritage? The two-part documentary reveals the secrets of many spectacular pieces of art, shows the museum organizers and accompanies archaeologists to China. Berlin's museums reveal themselves to be not just temples of beauty and ultra-modern research centers, but also as the home to countless fascinating stories.

ArchingVideo | 德国历史博物馆 German Historical Museum - 贝聿铭 I.M. Pei
一座透明的玻璃螺旋楼梯，链接了德国的过去、现在与未来。贝聿铭用其教科书般经典的建筑空间设计，为进入新时代的德国，留下惊叹与见证。
德国历史博物馆于1987年10月，由当时的西德总理科尔和西柏林市长迪普根共同决定兴修。当时选定的地点是国会大厦对面、濒临施普雷河边的一块空地，并由意大利建筑师的阿尔多·罗西获得竞赛一等奖。然而德国统一把这项计划推翻了。由于迁都柏林，原定的博物馆地点改为新总理府地点，而把菩提树下大街上最古老的、建于1695年的巴罗克风格的普鲁士王国军械局的建筑作为历史博物馆。但这座建筑物面积与其功能相比不够，而周围的建筑物密布，且是列入文物保护范围的，拆迁完全不可能。因此就剩下军械局后院的仓库楼脚下的一小块地。这就是建筑师施展其才能的全部空间。
贝聿铭曾说过这个设计带给他的三大挑战：一，新展馆必须和谐融入周围的古典环境中；二，要配合原德国博物馆的巴洛克式建筑；三，要能够吸引游客。面对这样的挑战，他说：“我不能复制新古典主义的东西，我们活在为十一世纪，一定要有现代感”。但他同时坚持要尊重过去，所以选择了透明设计，认为“没有风格上的冲突，这样我一方面尊重过去，另一方面保留了二十一世纪的现代感。”他还说：“建筑设计应能吸引人们带着好奇和愉悦的心情游遍整座建筑，我甚至想透过更多楼梯和新风景，吸引他们登上最高层。”

German Historical Museum – Presentation – Berlin – Audio guide – MyWoWo Travel App
Hi, my name's Scott, and I'm your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I'd like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: the Deutsches Historisches Museum.
The Deutsches Historisches Museum, or German Historical Museum, is the largest and most exhaustive collection of German historical objects and documents.
The Museum is located in what was once the city's armory, one of the most important Baroque buildings in northern Germany. The first stone was laid by Frederick III of Brandenburg on May 29, 1695. The work lasted 35 years, involving three of the top architects of the time.
The armory was turned into an Army Museum in 1871, and it was not until 1987, coinciding with the 750th anniversary of the founding of Berlin, that the East German government took the decision to broaden the museum collection to include more than just weapons. The most significant extension of the collection, however, dates to the period following German reunification, and the collection was completed in 2006.
History aficionados in particular will love this museum, but even visitors who are simply curious will not be disappointed by the museum's particularly unusual exhibits.
The main periods of German history are reconstructed through paintings, sculptures, armor, clothing, rare books, plows, boxes, records, films, coins, and even toys and a variety of other curious objects…
