Soviet War Memorial Treptow

Absolutely amazing. I started reading about this monument at a different museum and instantly told myself, I HAVE TO GO. Probably one of the best decisions I made while visiting Berlin. The sheer size and cleanliness is also amazing.

This is a must see if you are in Berlin.

Huge memorial with massive statues. 7,000 Soviet troops are buried at this memorial. The main statue of the soldier holding the young child is massive and imposing. The concrete mosaics with battle scenes that line both sides memorial are very interesting. This is well worth the time to visit when in Berlin.

Went as it was getting dark and there is no lighting at this monument at all! Other than that it's what you can expect from a Soviet monument, minimal architecture and big but a bit bleak. There's some texts about what happened from J. Stalin himself both in German and Russian so I do advise to come prepared if you can't read those.

Immensely large structures spread across the centre of Treptower Park, fascinating to learn more about the Soviet history and the importance of the memorial. Much bigger than anticipated from the photos. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Berlin!

It’s odd to review a soviet monument but I’ll try.
The composition is great but the whole territory is not accessible. I saw how mothers where lifting the strollers and it’s not okay.
I was there on the 9th of may. I was just curious what was going on there but I saw people bullying Ukrainians. And I was shocked. Police did nothing to protect Ukrainians and didn’t arrest anyone with Russian/Soviet flags (it was forbidden to show them in public on 09/05).

I cannot resist adding my completely redundant pictures and review. I usually stay away from all memorials that glorify war and the heroic efforts to kill each other. This memorial is in your face with plenty of militaristic stone carvings, intimidating size and pathos. I am not used to seeing the Russian view of things and found this gigantic memorial rather interesting.Это есть наш последний И решительный бой;

It's an amazing place for the commemoration of the Soviet losses during the second World War. I like the architectural ideas and the symmetry all over the place, but I am sceptical about all the Stalin quotes at the side columns.
