Palace of Tears. Place of German division

The permanent exhibition in the Palace of Tears, the former departure hall at the Friedrichstrasse border crossing, uses biographical examples and original objects to show how the division of Germany affected people's lives.


With the guide, you will discover the most important topics and historical traces: How did people from the GDR manage to escape or emigrate to the West? What experiences did travelers from East and West have when being processed in the Palace of Tears? What memories do you personally associate with this historic place?


Registration takes place before the tour begins at the information desk in the exhibition.
