Overview
Opened in 2005, this memorial spreads 2,711 concrete slabs — ranging from 0.2m to 4.7m tall — across a 19,000㎡ grid. Designed by American architect Peter Eisenman, the space is deliberately abstract, leaving meaning open so each visitor experiences the Holocaust's tragedy in their own way. As you walk between the slabs, the maze-like feeling deepens, and the underground Information Center documents the names and stories of around 3 million of the 6 million victims. Memorial and Information Center both free. 3-minute walk from the Brandenburg Gate.
Opening Hours
Outdoor 24 hours; Information Center Tue-Sun 10:00-18:00 (closed Mondays)

The Information Center (underground) has security screening, which may add to your wait. Please keep voices down and avoid selfies — this is a place of remembrance.
