Berlin Germany
Location

The Anti-War Museum is located at Brüsseler Straße 21, 13353 Berlin, in the Wedding district. Founded in 1925 by pacifist Ernst Friedrich, it was originally established to highlight the horrors of war through photographs and documents2. The museum was shut down by the Nazis in 1933 but was later reopened in 1982 by Friedrich’s grandson, Tommy Spree. It features exhibits on both world wars, including medals, postcards, diaries, and letters from soldiers, as well as photographs of war casualties2. A key attraction is the preserved air-raid shelter, which provides insight into life during bombing raids. The museum also displays war toys from past centuries and a world map indicating current conflict zones2. As a non-profit organization, it is largely funded by donations and remains a significant site for peace education. Easily accessible by public transport, it offers a sobering reflection on the impact of war and the importance of peace activism.
