We opened the first exhibit, "It Happened at the Wall", in a small flat. On 14 June 1963 we moved into our current location at the Haus am Checkpoint Charlie. The Mauermuseum - Museum Haus am Checkpoint Charlie has helped write history, became an oasis of freedom and is now bringing history back to life.

Checkpoint Charlie represents standing up for each other, freedom and human rights. People who are still living in divided countries dream of unity. And Checkpoint Charlie is a place of freedom for all, a place where world history manifests itself.

The newsroom of the Mauermuseum - Museum Haus am Checkpoint Charlie is our service for journalists, bloggers and online multipliers. Here you will find all media-relevant information and press documents concerning the exhibits and projects of the Mauermuseum. If you would like to schedule a filming/interview appointment, have any questions or need additional materials, please feel free to speak with us in person.

Here you will find books, including picture books, about your visit and the results of our research. The volumes produced by the Verlag Haus am Checkpoint Charlie offer exciting background information on post-war German and global history, and events at the Wall and Checkpoint Charlie, and within divided and reunified Germany.
