Berlin needs a good history of Nazi evils, and the Topography of Terror is about all they have. It's located on the site where the SS, SD and Gestapo had their headquarters. The exhibit is only a long series of billboards out in the open. They're not well written or organized. You'll probably learn something as you go along, but... more

In fact the Topography of Terror is just a collection of infoboards located at the former Gestapo-headquarters. But the amount of information you get in combination with the location (this was the decision center of nazi Germany), make the visit more than worthwile. When you're interested in world war II, make sure you take your time. You will easily spend... more

Well worth a visit despite the temporary nature of the exhibition. It's currently all outdoor but the fact is that the site itself is fascinating and chilling - photographs of the area as it was both pre-Third Reich and when it was taken over by the Nazis as the SS headquarters bring home that you are walking in some deeply... more

This is one of those attractions that a lot of people may miss or pass by particularly because it is open air. However, it is well worth a visit. Since it is open to the elements, its probably better to pick a warmish/dry day to visit. In my opinion it is a great shame that the city authorities appear to... more

The former sight of the Gestapo Headquarters in Berlin has a very interesting and informative open air exhibit on the back side of the Berlin Wall. I have been to many sites in Germany that detail the horrors of the Holocaust and this is one of the best I have seen. Lots of information about the resistance movement in Germany... more

The former Gestapo and SS Headquarters on which the Topography of Terror sits were partly destroyed during the war. By 1956 the buildings had been demolished and covered over. By the time the Berlin Wall was built right at the edge of where the building once stood its history had long been forgotten. In the mid 1980's it was re-discovered... more

We visited the Topography of Terror, which we could see from our hotel room. We visited in the morning and to be honest we was in a bit of a hurry, we had a tour booked at midday at the Reichstag building so we only spent about 45 minutes here which I don't think was enough time. All the exhibits... more

The Topographie of Terror may be on a site where Nazi attrocities took place, but it did not fill me with much interest. It consists of some foundations of a row of houses and numerous information panels. I found that it was repeating a lot of what I had already read in previous exhibitions and books. It is obvious from... more

It is impossible to add to the reviewer who personally experienced the Nazi terror, however, it is important to re-emphasize the need to remember the atrocities of this time. This museum still does not have a permanent inside location, however, as we wandered in frigid temperatures we were reminded of the innocent lives affected by the evils of the Nazi... more
