Deutsches Historisches Museum (Pei-Bau)
Das Deutsche Historische Museum ist Deutschlands nationales Geschichtsmuseum und eines der größten Geschichtsmuseen der Welt. In Berlins historischer Mitte gelegen versteht es sich als Ort zur Stärkung historischer Urteilskraft, an dem übergreifende philosophische, ethische und historische Fragen verhandelt werden.
Das Deutsche Historische Museum wurde 1987 anlässlich der 750-Jahr-Feier der Stadt Berlin von der damaligen Bundesrepublik Deutschland und dem Land Berlin gegründet. Im Rahmen des Vertrags zur deutschen Wiedervereinigung wurden die Gebäude und Sammlungen des Museums für Deutsche Geschichte, das zentrale Geschichtsmuseum der DDR, in den Besitz des Deutschen Historischen Museums überführt. So wurde das Deutsche Historische Museum mit der Wiedervereinigung 1990 zu einem gesamtdeutschen Museum für Geschichte.
Die Sammlungen des Deutschen Historischen Museums umfassen heute rund eine Million Objekte. Einen großen Teil der Exponate stellt das Deutsche Historische Museum der Forschung und interessierten Öffentlichkeit online in seiner Datenbank zur Verfügung.
Ein postmodernes Meisterwerk: Der Pei-Bau
Der Pei-Bau ist das erste Werk des chinesisch-amerikanischen Architekten Ieoh Ming Pei in Deutschland. Es wurde 2003 für Wechselausstellungen eröffnet und verfügt über vier Ebenen, womit sich die ursprüngliche Ausstellungsfläche des DHM beträchtlich vergrößerte. Pei ist weltbekannt für seine Museumsbauten, bei denen er in hoher Sensibilität historische Bausubstanz mit zeitgenössischer Gestaltung verbunden hat. So auch bei der 2003 eröffneten Ausstellungshalle für das DHM, das neben der National Gallery of Art in Washington (1978 eröffnet), der Glaspyramide des Musée du Louvre in Paris (1989 eröffnet) und des Miho Museum in der Nähe von Kyōto (1997 eröffnet) zu den ikonischen Beispielen seines Œuvres gehört.

German Historical Museum (Pei Building)
The Deutsches Historisches Museum is Germany's national history museum and one of the largest history museums in the world. Located in Berlins historic center, it sees itself as a place for strengthening historical judgment, where overarching philosophical, ethical and historical questions are negotiated.
The German Historical Museum was founded in 1987 on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the city of Berlin by the then Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Berlin. As part of the treaty on German reunification, the buildings and collections of the Museum of German History, the central history museum of the GDR, were transferred to the ownership of the German Historical Museum. With reunification in 1990, the German Historical Museum thus became an all-German museum of history.
Today, the collections of the German Historical Museum comprise around one million objects. The German Historical Museum makes a large proportion of the exhibits available to researchers and interested members of the public online in its database.
A postmodern masterpiece: the Pei Building
The Pei Building is the first work by Chinese-American architect Ieoh Ming Pei in Germany. It was opened in 2003 for temporary exhibitions and has four levels, considerably increasing the DHM's original exhibition space. Pei is world-famous for his museum buildings, in which he has combined historical structures with contemporary design with great sensitivity. This was also the case with the exhibition hall for the German Historical Museum, which opened in 2003 and is one of the iconic examples of his oeuvre alongside the National Gallery of Art in Washington (opened in 1978), the glass pyramid of the Musée du Louvre in Paris (opened in 1989) and the Miho Museum near Kyōto (opened in 1997).

The German Historical Museum (Deutsches Historisches Museum in German), known by the acronym DHM, is a museum in Berlin devoted to German history. It describes itself as a place of "enlightenment and understanding of the shared history of Germans and Europeans." It is often viewed as one of the most important museums in Berlin and is one of the most frequented. The museum is located in the 17th century Zeughaus (armory) on Unter den Linden, just across the Spree from Museumsinsel. The museum's attached Exhibition Hall was designed by I. M. Pei in the late 20th Century.

Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany, both by area and by population. Its more than 3.85 million inhabitants make it the European Union's most populous city, as measured by population within city limits. Simultaneously, the city is one of the states of Germany and is the third smallest state in the country in terms of area. Berlin is surrounded by the state of Brandenburg. The urban area of Berlin has a population of 4.5 million and is therefore the most populous urban area in Germany. The Berlin-Brandenburg capital region has around 6.2 million inhabitants and is Germany's second-largest metropolitan region after the Rhine-Ruhr region.
Berlin was built along the banks of the Spree River, which flows into the Havel in the western borough of Spandau. The city incorporates lakes in the western and southeastern boroughs, the largest of which is Müggelsee. About one-third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks and gardens, rivers, canals, and lakes.
After World War II and following Berlin's occupation, the city was split into West Berlin and East Berlin, divided by the Berlin Wall. East Berlin was declared the capital of East Germany, while Bonn became the West German capital. Following German reunification in 1990, Berlin once again became the capital of all of Germany.

Yes, there are still many dark alleys in the center of Berlin. On the way through Berlin-Mitte. Here is a view of the Berlin Cathedral and of course our television tower 😉
