Dokumentationszentrum Obersalzberg

Ticket to Kehlsteinhaus includes free entrance to this center, so it’s best to visit the house first and then come here afterward. Unfortunately, you can’t buy a combined ticket for both at this location. The place is easy to find from the bus stop. A free audio guide is available in multiple languages. If you follow the guide strictly, you might miss some of the wall displays, so take your time to explore on your own as well. The entire facility is wheelchair accessible, and retractable chairs are available at the entrance for those who need them. At the end of the tour, you’ll also have the chance to visit the bunkers.

Why are the staff so unfriendly and hostile? It was the 29th August, 2025. We had done the Eagle's Nest and the tour operator allowed time for us to visit the Documentation Centre. Now, naively, it was our assumption that the centre was INCLUDED in the Munich to Eagles Nest trip but we were mistaken, as we soon found out. So we sauntered in - no queues in sight, no price list anywhere. We approached an entrance to the right before being accosted by a very rude woman. Now, there's a way to deal with people and there's a way not to. Had she been more polite, we would have apologised and simply paid the entrance fee, whatever it was - but because she was so hostile we simply left. That's 4 entrance fees you cost the museum lady! It costs nothing to be nice, but it does cost to be otherwise. Reading some of the other negative reviews, staff rudeness seems to be a common theme. At the very least have a visible price list on display or a sign at the tour entrance "No entry without tickets".

Loads of Erie history on the area, audio self walking tour filled with photos, models, artifacts, and stories of the era. At the end of the tour you walk through 5% of the bunkers used.

enter for free after purchasing bus ticket. get the audio guide in your favourite language (40 min guide is enough) and start your time journey and learn the connection of the black era to the local village. after finishing the floor, head to the bunker and witness a glimpse of ww2 as you follow the tunnels. very educational in this thematic.

This is among the best history museums I have ever been to. It put the region's role in World War II and actions of the Nazis and historical artifacts of the time in context. It was thorough and included personal stories. We surveyed the entire exhibit and used the audio guide, as well. It was not over done, but it was well done with an extreme amount of detail. All history museums could learn from this center. Thank you.

Seeing this bunker in person is a interesting experience, but I really enjoyed going through and reading all the history in the museum and seeing all the artifacts related to World War Two. In my opinion the most interesting thing there was the map used to plan attacks in World War Two.

A must see. A very well organised and planned out museum, telling the story of the area and the importance of enjoying the peaceful landscape while respecting the history. You get free entry with your ticket to Eagles Nest, alternatively it is €3 per adult. There are free audio guides: you can either choose to listen as you go by entering exhibition codes, do a 40 minute guide, or an 80 minute guide. The temporary exhibition, Portraits by Stefan Hanke was exceptional to see also. Although I had studied WW2 and other wars in school and university, I was still moved and felt it for the rest of my time in Berchtesgaden.

There's a nice and clean well equipped public waiting, resting area! The exhibition is good, well documented. Audio guide is available. Unfortunately doesn't really useful. Doesn't really gave me any + information. The English or German language skills are inevitably necessary - hardly recommended - for deepening in theory. In over all would be useful if the exhibition would be divided in some parts/tours because too much for one breath and scratches only the surface of 10 years history!
