Every first Sunday of the month at 3 pm there is a public guided tour of the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst.

The Second World War in Europe ended on May 8, 1945 in what is now the Berlin-Karlshorst Museum. It was here that the commanders-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht signed the unconditional surrender in front of representatives of the Soviet Union, USA, Great Britain and France. The former mess hall of a Wehrmacht barracks was converted into a Soviet military museum in 1967. After the withdrawal of the Soviet troops in 1990-94, the museum was established in its current form.

The guided tour provides an overview of the historical site of the surrender on May 8, 1945 and of the entire permanent exhibition "Germany and the Soviet Union in the Second World War".

The exhibition deals with the war from the perspective of German and Soviet politics, the military and society. In addition to texts, historical photos, everyday objects and written documents, people and their individual stories are presented.
