Further information
Join our Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Tour from Berlin and visit one of the most important memorial sites to Nazi persecution and terror. Located just outside Berlin, Sachsenhausen was built by the SS in 1936 and became a model camp, training site, and administrative centre within the Nazi concentration camp system.
On this guided tour, you will learn about the history of Sachsenhausen during the Third Reich, the role of the SS, and the experiences of the prisoners who were imprisoned, exploited, tortured, and murdered there. Your licensed memorial guide will explain how the camp was organised, how forced labour operated, and how Sachsenhausen became part of the wider system of persecution and mass violence in Nazi Germany.
The tour explores key locations within the memorial site, including Tower A, the roll-call yard, the camp prison, the barracks, the infirmary area, and Station Z. Along the way, you will hear about daily life for prisoners, the escalation of violence during the Second World War, the murder of thousands of Soviet prisoners of war in 1941, medical experiments, escape attempts, and the death marches at the end of the war.
The history of Sachsenhausen did not end in 1945. After liberation by Soviet troops, the site was used as Soviet Special Camp No. 7/No. 1, where thousands more people were imprisoned under harsh conditions. Your guide will also explain how the East German regime later shaped and politicised the memory of the camp.
This is a serious and respectful historical tour, designed for visitors who want to understand Sachsenhausen in depth and place it within the broader history of Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, and post-war memory. The tour includes travel from central Berlin to the Sachsenhausen Memorial and is led by a specially trained, licensed guide.
By booking this tour, you also support the preservation, research, and educational work of the Sachsenhausen Memorial. A percentage of every ticket sold is donated to the memorial site, helping to ensure that this important place of remembrance remains accessible to individual visitors, schools, and tour groups.
