Little BIG City

Niederkirchnerstraße 8, Berlin, Deutschland

The new miniature city at the foot of the television tower on Alexanderplatz offers an interactive way to explore seven eras of Berlin's history. Discover 70 historical sites in miniature format, populated by over 6,000 hand-painted 3D figures. Holograms, special effects, projections and mechanical movements bring everything to life. From the beginnings of Berlin in the 12th century to the industrial revolution and Berlin between the world wars. Experience what life was like before the Nazis came to power, then when Zeppelin airships flew over the city in the 1930s. See the Reichstag being set on fire and watch the tanks rolling through the ruins of the city in 1945. See the women of the city carry away the rubble, the Wall being erected in 1963, followed by John F. Kennedy's famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech later that year. Watch the East German soldier make his legendary leap over the temporary barbed wire fence before the Wall was built, and see the last parade of the GDR National People's Army to mark the 40th anniversary of the German Democratic Republic in 1989. You can even join in and bring down the Berlin Wall yourself: just press a button and watch the Wall fall.

Special exhibitions on the history and culture of Berlin take place in the Ephraim-Palais of the Stadtmuseum Berlin.
