What to do and see in Lichtenberg (Borough), Germany: The Best Sights & Landmarks

August 23, 2021 Weston Hennigan

Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

Berlin-Hohenschonhausen Memorial

Reviewed By Thebates22 - Chester, United Kingdom

On a beautiful sunny day in Berlin I decided to walk over to East Berlin to visit both the Stasi prison and the Stasi museum (see separate review), which compliment each other perfectly to give an overall view of this super oppressive communist DDR regime. The Hohenschonhausen prison remains is as it was during its most brutal days with cells / interrogation rooms / and exercise yards amongst other things all still in tact... You cannot visit the memorial without a guided tour (€6/£5:15/$6:60 at the time of writing in March-20)... I can’t recommend this visit highly enough. If you are a German speaker there is even guided tours by former political prisoners who actually spent time (some of them up to 2 years) without recourse or legal representation in this centre of DDR physical & physiological torture without any charge, before a sham trial and sentenced them.
