German Historical Museum (Deutsches Historisches Museum)

Overview:

• The "Deutsches Historisches Museum" is the official history museum of the Federal Republic of Germany.

• This museum was established specifically to display German history from its inception to the present day in the context of its international impact and regional diversity. In permanent exhibitions, more than 8,000 historical objects on 7,500 square meters tell the stories of events, historical encounters, and social, economic and philosophical developments.

Historic overview:

• The museum tells visitors the various historical events, the development of social life, lifestyles and economic conditions. The museum is also distinguished by its beautiful architecture, which was designed by the famous architect “I.M. Bay”, and the museum organizes various exhibitions on large areas of it.

• The inauguration of the first permanent exhibition of German history in Berlin required many years. The German National Museum carries with it a heavy burden represented in transferring the concept of German patriotism away from the currents of sweeping politics.

• The permanent exhibition of German history was inaugurated in a solemn ceremony in the center of the German capital, Berlin, which highlights the different periods of German history in its various stages of development, both light and dark.

Architectural description:

• The building dedicated to the "German Historical Museum" consists of two floors, the upper floor highlights a panorama of German history in the Middle Ages and early modern history, not only in light of the political events at this time, but also links them to the social and economic situation, while the ground floor deals with German history from 1918 AD to 1989 AD, a period that witnessed huge events not in the history of Germany only, but in the history of the world as a whole.

• Under one roof and on an area of 8000 square meters in the historical building of the military arsenal building in Berlin, a huge number of different exhibits were collected, such as artistic panels, manuscripts, work tools for various crafts, and wall advertisements in a historical framework that reflects the extent of the diversity of these elements and their development through different periods of history. They are long historical periods that reach more than two thousand years, starting from the Roman era until the fall of the Berlin Wall and unified Germany.
