Wenn man Freunde zu Besuch hat, die nicht in Berlin leben, kommt man selbst als Einheimischer dazu, sich interessante Ausstellungen und Orte anzuschauen. So waren wir zusammen mit unserem Besuch an der East Side Gallery, in der Ausstellung GRENZERFAHRUNGEN und beim Tag der offenen Tür im Kanzleramt.
Hier die Fotos dazu:

biggest collection of parts from the Berlin wall
Exhibition in the Tränenpalast – "Palace of Tears" at Friedrichstraße station
The emotional experience of leaving East Germany for West Germany is
never as intense as at Berlin’s Friedrichstraße Station border crossing
point, called the Tränenpalast – "Palace of Tears". Here, people
directly experience the impact of a divided Germany on their personal
lives. The role of the Tränenpalast only changes after the fall of the
Berlin Wall.
The Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik
Deutschland Foundation presents the "Border Experiences – Everyday life
in Divided Germany" permanent exhibition at the original location of the
Tränenpalast, now a listed building. With a combination of real-life
stories, original objects and interviews with contemporary witnesses,
the exhibition provides a vivid insight into life in the shadow of
division and the border. The display also presents the key turning
points in the reunification process.
