Education, school and studies

Education

The Mauermuseum – Museum Haus am Checkpoint Charlie is a museum of commemoration, understanding and communication. In this spirit we offer a variety of educational programmes for our permanent and special exhibits. Eyewitnesses, former escape accomplices, educators, artists, our curator and art historians guide tours through the exhibits and encourage a dialogue with history.

For all topics, we offer presentations, tours, documentary and feature films, books, and quiz questions.

We place special emphasis on matters of post-war German and European history, and the history of the second German dictatorship. An overview can be found here.

School

We can arrange tours and workshops suited for the respective teaching content for school classes.

Our office is available from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday for further information. You may also send us an e-mail at: info@mauermuseum.de

Studies

Students and doctoral students may complete scientific internships with us. We support research topics for master’s and PhD theses.

Our academic services aim to take an interdisciplinary and active approach to the political history of the division of Germany, to find parallels in the current political world, and to analyse these objectively. The goal is to take a critical and constructive attitude toward history and politics and to make these topics visible as a scientist.

As part of our offer for students it is possible to develop ideas and formats in which experimental, constructive and alternating approaches are explored and defined.

It should be possible for the students and doctoral students to independently develop new political science and historical topics in their examination of Germany’s division.
