excursion destinations in other countries:
Berlin - Karlshorst
The German surrender to the Soviet military authorities in Karlshorst
Many associate Karlshorst with the
unconditional capitulation of the German forces on May 9, 1945, when Colonel
General Hans-Jürgen Stumpff as representative of the Luftwaffe, Field
Marshal Wilhelm Keitel as Chief of Staff of OKW and Admiral Hans-Georg von
Friedeburg as Commander-in-Chief of the Kriegsmarine signed the agreement,
but we are many who also associate Karlshost with obscure cellars and
solitary hand-held interrogations. This is where you were escorted to if you
were apprehended as a spy in the GDR during the Cold War.
The negotiating room at the Soviet headquarters in Karlshorst
In April 1945, Marshal Georgy Zhukov had set
up his headquarters in Karlshorst, and in the following years the KGB - the
secret state police of the Soviet Union - moved in.
"Das deutsch-russische Museum" i
Karlshorst
From 1945 to 1949, the buildings served as the
headquarters of the Soviet military administration in Germany. After the
founding of the GDR, they housed the headquarters of the Soviet troops in East
Germany until the last Russian soldiers left Karlshorst in 1994. The former
headquarters has subsequently become the German-Russian Museum
Berlin-Karlshorst.
