Former press center of the GDR

The former GDR press center in Berlin, now known as the House of the Press, offers a clear insight into the media landscape of the German Democratic Republic. Here you have the opportunity to learn more about the role of the press in the socialist system and how it was used for propaganda. The building itself is an example of 1970s architecture and reflects the political mood of the time.

During a visit, you can explore exhibitions that show historical documents, photographs and multimedia presentations that shed light on the development of media in the GDR. The original writings and reports, which offer direct access to the history of the GDR media, are particularly interesting.

In addition, events and lectures take place regularly that deal with current topics in the media landscape, which makes the visit particularly exciting. The House of the Press is therefore not only a place of remembrance, but also an active space for discussions about freedom of the press and media criticism. Take the opportunity to learn more about the past of German media.
