What to do and see in Pankow (Borough), Germany: The Best Museums

June 19, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

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.

Museum in der Kulturbrauerei

Millions of Germans lived in Communist East Germany for 40 years – so what was it like? Our permanent exhibition on “Everyday Life in the GDR” shows what East Germans’ lives were like in the 1970s and 1980s – at work, in public and in private. It shows how the Communist regime shaped everyday life, how people coped with the lack of things and the borders, and how they created free spaces for themselves. We present original objects in the individual themed rooms in the exhibition that then blend with everyday scenes. You can take a seat in a tavern, a living room or at a work bench, and find out more about leisure time and improvisation, housing construction and working life in Communist East Germany. Everyday objects are supported in the exhibition by historical documents, accounts by contemporary witnesses, and film material from the time, shedding light on everyday life in Communist East Germany from several different angles.

Berlin has many interesting free attractions, most of them depicting WWII and the divided postwar era. This museum, set in a former brewery is one of them. The museum is located in the changing and trendy Prenzlauer berg neighborhood and can be combined with other attractions close by such as the Berlin Wall memorial in Bernauer Str. and Mauerpark (read those reviews). The museum depicts everyday life in east Germany, in DDR. It consists of only two rooms, pretty big though packed with displays. The first is about work in DDR: administration offices, factory work with explained working stimulants, rewards and benefits along with many communist propaganda items. The other room is focused on a daily life: there are replicas of DDR stores, items you can find in them, packages arriving from west Germany, free time and vacations,....etc. I'd recommend this museum especially to westeners, who were not used nor acquainted with such a way of life. I think it'd be very interesting to them. We, from ex communist countries lived that life for a while, have similar museums in our own countries, but nevertheless I enjoyed this one very much. Admission is free, count on around 1-2 hrs for a visit.
