GERMAN HISTORY IN IMAGES AND ARTEFACTS Permanent Exhibition

The Permanent Exhibition of the Deutsches His-

ZEUGHAUS torisches Museum, “German History in Images and Artefacts”, is located in the Zeughaus (the former

PUBLIC TOUR Armoury), the most important Baroque edifice in SAT 1 pm Berlin and oldest building on the boulevard Unter den Linden. A chronological tour through the two floors of the Zeughaus presents German history in its European context. Visitors come face to face with sweeping historical events, epoch-making rulers and politicians, but also everyday life in city and countryside. With more than 7,000 objects the singular tour paints a vivid picture of our past.

FIRST FLOOR: MIDDLE AGES TO THE END OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR

Middle Ages to The introductory part is devoted to changes in Reformation the European boundaries and the history of the German language. The narrative begins with Charlemagne, for the Empire of the Franks arose out of the period of the Great Migrations as the most effective and lasting imperial structure of the Germanic peoples. When Charles became King of the Franks in 768, it was already the most power- ful political entity in Western Europe. The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation existed as a feudal association comprising numerous countries and regional authorities on into the 15th century.

Reformation Ensuing from the publication of Martin Luther’s to French Theses in 1517, the Reformation of the Church Revolution PERMANENT EXHIBITION

brought about fundamental religious and political transformations. Precious writings, but also armour and helmets bear witness to the intensification of the sectarian and political conflicts that led in 1618 to the Thirty Years’ War. It came to an end in 1648 with the Peace of Westphalia, which created a new European order. The battle of dynasties for dominion in Europe, with Louis XIV of France as the embodiment of absolutistic rule, marked the 17th century. When the Habsburg Emperor Karl VI died in 1740 without an heir, the five Great Powers of Europe, England, France, Austria, Prussia and Russia, fought the subsequent War of the Austrian Suc- cession to assert their own interests. The French Revolution of 1789, the Napoleonic Wars and the breakdown of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in 1806 resulted in the complete collapse of the previous forms of European state- hood. The Congress of Vienna of 1814/15 was first able to restore a stabile order of peace.

German In 1871 the German Empire was founded as a Empire to First national state under Wilhelm I as German Kaiser World War (Emperor). In 1888 Wilhelm II followed. National- ism, the drive for economic expansion as well as social unrest led the empire in 1914 into the First World War. The tour on the upper floor ends with the military defeat of Germany in 1918 and the collapse of the German Empire. PERMANENT EXHIBITION

GROUND FLOOR: WEIMAR REPUBLIC UNTIL THE DEPARTURE OF THE ALLIES IN 1994 Weimar Republic, At the beginning of the ground floor tour, posters NS-Regime and and graphic prints recall the revolutionary con- Second World War vulsions after World War I that culminated in the establishment of the German Reich as a parlia- mentary democracy in 1918. The heyday of art and culture in the Weimar Republic is represented by a great variety of objects from the areas of design and textiles. Films, photographs and political posters illustrate the social misery and unemployment that came up at the time. This led to a political radicalisation of the populace and to the rise of the NSDAP as a mass political party. In 1933 Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of the Reich, and the Nazis quickly established a totalitarian dictatorship that persecuted and annihilated Jews, political opponents and other people who were not in accordance with the racial ideology of the Nazis. The Second World War be- gan in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. A war coalition led by the Soviet Union, Great Britain and the USA succeeded in stemming the tide of the German advances by 1944. The unconditional surrender of the German forces on 8 May 1945 brought an end to Nazi rule and to World War II in Europe, where more than 50 million people had died. PERMANENT EXHIBITION

Divided Germany Germany was divided into four zones of occupation and Reunification and in 1949 into two German states. The German Democratic Republic under Soviet occupation and the Federal Republic of Germany under the influ- ence of the Western Allies became the theatre of the Cold War. The downfall of the GDR regime led to the opening of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989 and paved the way for the reunification of the two German states on 3 October 1990.
