Γερμανικό Ιστορικό Μουσείο - Deutsches Historisches Museum

The Deutsches Historisches Museum was founded by the then Federal Republic of Germany and the Land Berlin in 1987 on the occasion of the 750th anniversary celebration of Berlin. The buildings and collections of the Museum für Deutsche Geschichte (MfDG), the central historical museum of the GDR, were transferred to the ownerschip of the Deutsches Historisches Museum within the framework of the contract on German reunification. Thus with reunification in 1990, the Deutsches Historisches Museum became the museum for the history of all parts of Germany.

In addition to acquisitions made by the MfDG, the stocks also included the militaria collection of the former Royal Prussian Zeughaus (Armoury). Supplemented by numerous new acquisitions since 1987, the collection of the Deutsches Historisches Museum now comprises some 900,000 objects. The Deutsches Historisches Museum has placed a large part of its collections at the disposal of researchers and the interested public online through its Database.

The Permanent Exhibition in the Zeughaus, German History from the Middle Ages to the Fall of the Berlin Wall, with more than 7,000 objects, provides a unique overview of German history within its international context. The museum’s Temporary Exhibitions can be seen in the Pei building. They are devoted to formative historical events, epochs and social developments.

A broad spectrum of additional information is conveyed through the exhibitions to specific groups by means of guided tours and history workshops. Scholars as well as history aficionados can also attend such events as lectures, panel discussions and conferences at the museum.

The Zeughauskino with its collection of historical film material shows thematic and monographic film series from the entire spectrum of German and international film history. This includes programmes linked thematically to the respective temporary exhibitions. It is also a venue for numerous festivals and film days.

The Deutsches Historisches Museum also has a public Reference Library with an extensive department of manuscripts as well as old and valuable prints, and a Picture Archive with around 500,000 photos on German and European history, important estates acquired from photographers and agencies, as well as documentations of the collections.

The Living Museum Online (LeMO), a cooperation with the Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in Bonn and the Federal Archive, is a virtual museum. It offers sound historical information as well as a large collection of textual and visual sources on European history from 1815 to the present day.
