A historic place opens its doors on the Day of Open Monuments
On Sunday, September 13, 2026, the Lindenstraße Memorial in Potsdam invites visitors to a special event experience. Between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, visitors will enjoy free admission, free audio guides, and a rare glimpse into areas of the historic building complex that are usually not accessible during guided tours.
Experience history instead of just reading about it
The Lindenstraße Memorial is one of the important places of remembrance and education in Brandenburg. The site connects architectural history with the history of political persecution in the 20th century. Walking through the courtyard, exhibitions, and historic rooms, one quickly feels the unique event atmosphere: quiet, penetrating, and highly informative. The Day of Open Monuments makes this place experienceable in a way that is rarely possible in everyday life.
Exclusive insights into previously hidden rooms
The public tours at 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 4:00 PM are the main focus. Areas that are normally not accessible open up, including former lounge areas of inmate work squads, the prison library, and the chapel. The event combines professional mediation with lively historical work and appeals to culture enthusiasts, school classes, families, and anyone looking to experience Potsdam from a different perspective.
Accessible offerings and practical visitor information
The event includes free audio guides in several languages as well as offerings in German sign language. The memorial is centrally located at Lindenstraße 54 in 14467 Potsdam and is easily accessible by tram and bus. It is just a few minutes' walk from the Dortustraße and Brandenburger Straße stops. The last entry for regular visitor offerings is often at 5:30 PM, while the event day hours are from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
