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.
