Teufelsberg
Discover one of Berlin’s most fascinating landmarks with a visit to Teufelsberg, the former Cold War listening station built atop a man-made hill created from the rubble of the Second World War.
Today, this unique site combines history, espionage, contemporary art and panoramic views, offering students an unforgettable insight into Berlin's past and present.
Students can explore the former NSA and British listening station, admire one of Europe's largest open-air street art galleries, and visit the immersive 'Declassified – The Secret of Teufelsberg' exhibition, which is included with admission. Through multimedia displays, historic artefacts and personal testimonies, the exhibition reveals the site's transformation from a wartime rubble mountain to a top-secret Cold War surveillance station and today's vibrant cultural landmark.
