Sachsenhausen Memorial Walking Tour

During the walk, you’ll learn how Sachsenhausen was built by the SS in 1936 as a model concentration camp. In the years that followed, tens of thousands of people from all over Europe were imprisoned here because of their ethnicity, beliefs, or resistance to the Nazi regime. Many were forced to perform hard labor under inhumane conditions.

Together with your guide, you’ll walk through the grounds and visit various historical sites. You’ll learn how the camp was organized, what daily life was like for the prisoners, and what role Sachsenhausen played within the broader system of Nazi terror. In addition to the historical facts, the tour also focuses on the human stories behind this place. Through personal testimonies and background information, you’ll gain a better understanding of the impact these events had on millions of people.

Today, Sachsenhausen is an important memorial site where visitors from all over the world gather each year to honor the victims of the Nazi regime. The walking tour invites reflection and highlights how important it is to keep this history alive. It is precisely by continuing to remember the events of the past that we come to understand how fragile freedom and democracy can be.

The Sachsenhausen Memorial walking tour takes place on the grounds of the former concentration camp, located in Oranienburg, a short distance from Berlin. With the help of an experienced guide, you’ll gain much more insight than you would during a self-guided visit.

We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and taking the weather conditions into account, since a large part of the tour takes place outdoors.

*The tour is recommended for ages 12 and up. Younger children may participate if accompanied by an adult.
