Festivals and Events 2025

Berlin's festivals and events attract countless visitors every year. Despite cuts to the cultural budget of around 140 million euros, there is a strong determination to maintain the wide range of cultural events. Here you will find an overview of the cultural year 2025.

Outlook 2025

2025 offers a wide range of exciting exhibitions, even if some museums have not yet been able to present their full programme due to the drastic cuts in the cultural sector. Read on to find out which exhibitions we are particularly looking forward to this year and mark your personal highlights in your calendar now!

Bunker mentality

There were once many more bunkers in Berlin than are known today. Some are now monuments, others are spectacular art spaces. We introduce you to Berlin's art bunkers.

The history of division and Peaceful Revolution

The fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989 was the high point of the Peaceful Revolution. 35 years later, the city is once again commemorating this event. Here you will find an overview of all the museums that deal with the various aspects of the division, the GDR regime and the Peaceful Revolution from different perspectives - and not just for the anniversary.

Against oblivion

Many historical sites characterise the city of Berlin. Berlin's memorials document historical events and remind us of Germany's chequered history.
