The day of the open monument is an opportunity to experience history up close and to discover authentic places of remembrance. The Lichtenberg district will also take part in this nationwide event, which takes place in Berlin on September 7th and 8th, 2024. Under the motto "Contemporary witnesses of history" Lichtenberg opens the doors to 14 different locations that offer insights into the diverse history of the district.

visitors have the opportunity to explore places such as the former Stasi headquarters on the campus for democracy, the city center cemetery of Friedrichsfelde and the church as a happy message in Karlshorst with the famous Amalien organ. These historical sites are not only witnesses of past events, but also important parts of the cultural heritage of Lichtenberg.

District City Councilor Camilla Schuler from the DIE LINKE party emphasizes the importance of monument protection for the preservation of these places of remembrance and the experience of history. She is pleased that citizens can discover the variety of monuments and invites them to participate in tours, workshops and exhibitions to learn more about the history of Berlin and Lichtenberg.

The day of the open monument not only offers a cultural journey of discovery, but also the opportunity to explore new places and to deal with the history of the region. Many venues are accessible to them, and a special children's program is even offered at two locations.

All interested parties can find out about the dates, the program and an interactive card on the website of the Berlin State Monument Office. The day of the open monument in 2024 promises to become an exciting and informative event that brings history to life and appeals to visitors of all ages. A visit is worthwhile for everyone who wants to learn more about the past of Lichtenberg and experience authentic places of memory.
