Haus der Geschichte, Bonn

The Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (house of history of the FRG) presents the history of both German states after 1945 until the present day in an impressive permanent exhibition. Approximately 7,000 original exhibits can be viewed ranging from the Federal Chancellors' saloon railway carriage, an original 1950s cinema to parts of the Berlin Wall, Honecker's arrest warrant and the first green card for a foreign IT specialist. Historic film and sound documents as well as a large number of media stations encourage active discussion about the country's history.
