The German Historical Museum (Deutsches Historisches Museum), located in the heart of Berlin, is one of Germany's most important cultural institutions. Founded in 1987, the museum is housed in the Zeughaus (Armory), an impressive baroque building constructed between 1695 and 1730. The museum's mission is to present the history of Germany in a European context, covering over 1,500 years of German history from the early Middle Ages to the present.

The permanent exhibition is divided into two main sections: the first focuses on the political, social, and cultural history of Germany, while the second section, located in the adjacent modern exhibition hall designed by I.M. Pei, explores various themes in German history through temporary exhibitions. Highlights include artifacts such as medieval manuscripts, art from the Reformation, military uniforms, and memorabilia from both World Wars.

In addition to its extensive collections, the museum offers a variety of educational programs, guided tours, and special events aimed at deepening the public's understanding of German history. The museum's library and archives are also valuable resources for researchers and historians.
