At the end of the 19th century, it was transformed into a military museum and inside, on March 1943, Rudolf von Gersdorff tried to assassinate Adolf Hitler during the opening of an exhibition inside it. Right across the street you can admire the late neoclassical style building, the Crown Prince’s Palace, used by the Hohenzollern house of Prussia until the monarchy was abolished at the end of World War I.

About Berlin

Berlin, Deutschlands kreative, weltoffene Hauptstadt: Zeugnisse einer bewegten Geschichte zwischen Kunst, Parks und legendärem Nachtleben.

Das Brandenburger Tor ist das Symbol der Stadt, nahe dem glaskuppelgekrönten Reichstag und dem Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas. Reste der Berliner Mauer sind erhalten, am eindrucksvollsten in der East Side Gallery, einem langen, mit Wandbildern bedeckten Abschnitt, und an der Gedenkstätte Bernauer Straße, während der Checkpoint Charlie den berühmtesten ehemaligen Grenzübergang markiert.
