The permanent exhibition in the Palace of tears, the former exit hall at the Friedrichstrasse border crossing, uses biographical examples and original objects to show how the division of Germany affected people's lives. With our company you will discover the most important issues and historical traces: How do people from the GDR escape or leave the country in the West? What experiences did the travelers from East and West have when they checked in at the Palace of tears? What memories do you associate yourself with this historical place? With us, accompaniments are dialogical tours.
