FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum

An interesting museum that offers insights into how different cultures are integrated and represented. Little but effective space. :) Enterance is free. :)

Public local museum about this area in Berlin - Kreuzberg. Before, during and after the Berlin Wall period. Very interesting histories told. 2 temporary exhibitions - one of them is about postcard. Won't tell you more - visit it yourself and I am sure you will like it at least.

A very interesting museum. On the first floor an exhibition about fight against racism, there is a lot of testimonies, however it's difficult to choose what to see and to learn that much despite of all those resources (the main documents are inside boxes). The temporary exhibition on the second floor on postcards was to my mind more adapted for a short visit and not ordinary. On the third floor there is a giant map of the city on the floor with a special focus on Friedriechshain Kreuzberg, and the possibility to ear experiences from people who lived on this district. In the stairs of the whole building, the history of the area is described from the end of the WW2.

Very different from the big universal museums in the museum islands. To the point exhibitions with interactivity and rich context from the local community. Situated in a lively area. Highly recommended.

I found this place by accident and a delightful accident it was! Free (mini) museum with stair and elevator access. Please note it was very warm as there are no fans or air conditioning. Exhibits on Berlin were fascinating ans accessible in both English and German. Fun visit and there are great restaurants in the area.

A very chill place offering lots to learn about the history of the neighborhood. 30 minutes are usually enough to explore the exhibitions.

Cool Museum, not so big but good enough to learn about Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg history. The exhibition is well done with amazing pictures. And it's donation based! 👍

This is everything a local history museum should be. The exhibits are wonderful. Concise, but not too concise that you lose context. A great mixture of interactive exhibits and text which cover the unique and turbulent history of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. The entrance is free and there are many interesting resources and pamphlets inside to learn more. This is a fantastic public history display!!

Up until last week, I wasn't even aware that Kreuzberg had a museum. But while walking from my dentist back to my bike, I passed by and was intrigued. In fact, I almost walked in right then, but thought better of it and went home to work. So when it was a lazy and somewhat cold Sunday afternoon, and my fellow and I were thinking of something to do that involved leaving the house but not being too cold, I suggested the museum, which, lucky for us, is open on Sundays. And off we went. The museum is actually the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum, so there's a little bit from both sides of the river. On the mezzanine, there is a room with old printing presses and types which you can explore. Then the first floor is a permanent exhibition about the city. It mostly covers Kreuzberg, showing the destruction of the area after the war, and detailing the history of the NKZ. There are models of the streets and the buildings, with interactive things along the way, such as drawers you can pull out, audio clips you can listen to, and more. The rest of the museum is made up of changing exhibitions. For example, floors two and three focused on six different spots in the district, discussing their histories from past to present. There are also places where you can write down or contribute your own ideas or experiences pertaining to the places, which is pretty cool. One more floor up and there's a floor map of the area. Hand over your ID for an iPod loaded with images and sound clips that take you on themed tours of the area. Finally, the other temporary exhibit was photos of street art, which were posted throughout the stairwells on the walls. All in all, we probably spent between an hour and two hours exploring the museum. It is free, educational, and interesting, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants more of an in-depth look at the area.

Magnificent! Thanks Yelp andf Natalye R. for review. First thing - go to the 3rd floor and take audio guide, check out your favorite places, then go down to 2nd floor and look at the pictures and then get some souvenirs on 1st. The exposition is well crafted and every tiny piece looks interesting. 95% of the information in duplicated in English, so don't worry about getting stuck with Deutsch.
