What to expect

Join a meaningful journey to Sachsenhausen, one of the most important memorial sites from World War II and Nazi Germany’s system of concentration camps. You’ll meet at Alexanderplatz, where your expert guide will accompany you on a scenic train ride to Sachsenhausen. During the trip, your guide will provide historical background on the camp's origins and its role as a model for the Nazi concentration camp system.

You'll understand the complex history of this place through the various monuments that have been placed at the memorial over time. Your guides will approach the subject of the visit with the utmost respect for the victims. At Sachsenhausen, your visit begins at Tower A, the main entrance marked by the infamous "Arbeit macht Frei" sign. You'll see Barracks 38 and 39, where Jewish prisoners were held in extremely cramped conditions, with Barracks 38 now serving as a museum documenting their daily lives.

The tour includes the original punishment cells where prisoners were detained, and insights into the medical experiments conducted in the infirmary. You'll also visit the former prisoner kitchen, now a museum highlighting key moments in the camp's history, and see the remains of Station Z, where executions took place. The visit concludes at the Soviet memorial built in 1961, reflecting the camp's post-World War II history.
