Guided tours & Workshops in Berlin
In overview tours through the exhibition ‘Konrad Adenauer. The first Federal Chancellor’ you will get to know the first head of government of the Federal Republic of Germany. You will learn about the foundations Adenauer laid with his policies, which are still important for our all-German society today:
How did he succeed in establishing a stable democracy just a few years after the end of National Socialism? What direction did Adenauer take in the divided world of the Cold War? What was his attitude towards Berlin in the East-West conflict? What did he think about the idea of a united Europe and what steps did he take on the way there?
Individuals and small groups of up to 9 people may participate in free public guided tours of the exhibition "Konrad Adenauer. The first Federal Chancellor".
