KGB, Stasi and CIA: The German Spy Museum on Leipziger Platz in Berlin-Mitte takes visitors into the world of the secret services from East and West.
From the exchange of agents at the Glienicke Bridge to the listening post on Teufelsberg: Berlin was considered the capital of spies, especially during the Cold War. But the interactive exhibition at the Deutsches Spionagemuseum (German Spy Museum) doesn't just focus on this era of the secret service heyday. On a journey through time, visitors learn about the beginnings of secret intelligence gathering and transmission as well as highly topical and possible future espionage methods.
The German Spy Museum displays a wide range of exhibits, such as coat cameras and scent preserves from the Stasi's evidence room. However, the various interactive stations and multimedia offerings are the highlight of the museum and not only captivate children and young people. For example, visitors can tackle a laser course, crack passwords, search for bugs, decode, Morse code or try to trick a lie detector.
