The exhibition highlights the three main topics of democracy, freedom and Europe during the chancellorship of Konrad Adenauer (1949-1963).
At the interactive media stations, visitors gain new perspectives on the life and work of the founding chancellor, the development of democracy in West Germany after the Second World War, the country's integration with the West and the German question and the Berlin crisis, Adenauer's commitment to European unification and the reconciliation between Germany and France.

The exhibition also highlights Adenauer's many connections to Berlin. An elaborate 360-degree production invites visitors to take a trip through Berlin with John F. Kennedy, Konrad Adenauer and Willy Brandt.
