handover of the keys in the "Historical Heritage Berlin": New Center for Archeology

The historical heritage of Berlin is richer: The "Historical Heritage Berliner" was opened at Petriplatz in Berlin-Mitte and will be welcomed from all over the world from 2025. The ceremonial handover of the keys marks a milestone in the history of archeology in the capital.

The development of the "historical heritage of Berliner" was peppered with challenges right from the start. The architecture competition was decided for the project in 2012, but the construction work dragged on by 2019. But now the architectural jewel is about to open.

The building, which is simple from the outside, harbors a fascinating world of archaeological treasures inside. The building, which will give visitors insight into archaeological work, comprises a total of seven floors. In addition to exhibitions, jobs for archaeologists who will show their methods and working techniques are also provided.

The costs for the new building amount to around 35 million euros that the Berlin Senate has invested. From 2025 the "Historical Heritage Berliner" will open its doors and become a new attraction in the heart of Berlin.

In addition to the architectural masterpiece, the history of Petriplatz was also important. Originally an important church, which was destroyed in the Second World War, the place has a moving past.

The opening of the "Historical Erbes Berliner" marks a turning point in the development of Petriplatz and symbolizes the appreciation for the cultural heritage of Berlin. With the new Center for Archeology, the history of the city becomes alive and accessible to the public.
