Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (House of the history of the Federal Republic of Germany)
Description
This modern museum tells the history of Germany from the ruins at the end of the second world war to the modern country. It's mostly told from what was happening in the Budesrepublik (BDR/FDR/West Germany), but along the way it's contrasted by what was happening at the same time the other side of the iron curtain in the Democratic Republic (DDR/GDR/East Germany). The most remarkable part of the history is the way that nobody really (or certainly not before 1988) saw the complete collapse of the communist governments in the East coming.
