Events by the DDR Museum

Events with GDR reference

We organise regular events in the DDR Museum's conference room. Focusing on a range of themes relating to life in East Germany, they include readings, concerts and panel discussions.

If you are interested in organising an event in cooperation with the DDR Museum, please contact our content team with your ideas by email: inhalt@ddr-museum.de.

You can browse through past events in our event archive.

Participation is free of charge. The events take place in German.
