Soviet War Memorial Tiergarten

Built soon after the end of WWII, this is a Memorial to those who died during the battle of Berlin. This memorial is also the gravesite to 2,000 Soviet soldiers killed between April and May of 1945 in the Battle of Berlin. Worth a visit while in Berlin.

welcome to one of the cleanest places in Berlin. if visitors knew that beneath this cenotaph are a few thousand bones of Russian soldiers killed in the war, they might stop picnicking here and biting down on an American turkey sausage. before that, of course, you have to dip them in ketchup.

Those interested in WW2 history will be fascinated visiting this Soviet memorial, it was built quite soon after the battle of Berlin and is right on the battlefield, the 2000 dead Russian soldiers laid to rest here were killed fighting for the Reichstag building, so its quite fitting they should be buried so close to it. As is common with Russian memorials there is tanks and artillery guns displayed on it that were actually used in the battle of Berlin in 1945.

This monument in Tiergarten stands in tribute to the Soviet soldiers who died fighting the Nazis in the Second World War. Like many Soviet war memorials behind the Iron Curtain, the memorial takes the form of a curved stoa topped by a large sculpture of a Soviet soldier. On the day I visited, there was a climate change protest and entry into the memorial was unfortunately fenced off. So I could just see that the memorial is set in landscaped gardens and flanked by two T34 tanks and two artillery pieces on either end of the stoa.

Worth seeing if wandering through Tiergarten or even if near the Brandenburg Gate.
