Overview Tours: The History of German Film: A Tour through the Museum

Photo: Marian Stefanowski
Costumes and props, photographs, film scripts, sketches and designs of sets and models, cameras and film footage – film history is brought to life by a wide range of objects in the Permanent Exhibition. In twelve rooms, the museum recounts the beginnings of German cinema, of early film stars and classics (e.g., Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari and Metropolis), of the golden era of German cinema during the Weimar Republic, and its misuse under National Socialism. The exhibition portrays the situation of German filmmakers and artists living in exile, and on their return after World War II. Two rooms are devoted to German film from the postwar period to the present. A central theme of the exhibition is dedicated to Marlene Dietrich’s estate.

City Walking Tour: "Film City Berlin"

Berlin – Ecke Schönhauser, East Germany 1957, directed by Gerhard Klein
Source: Deutsche Kinemathek
This blend of walking tour and the permanent exhibits at the Museum of Film and Television brings visitors on a fascinating journey through the past and present of "Film City Berlin."
During their visit to the exhibition, participants will learn more about the origins of German cinema, Berlin's film palaces, early stars and film classics such as Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari and Metropolis. We will explore the Golden Age of German film during the Weimar Republic as well as its takeover during the Nazi reign.
The tour visits locations seminal to the early history of film production and cinematic presentation in Berlin as well as shooting locations for major modern films that feature Berlin, either as itself or as a stand-in for other metropolises such as Moscow, New York or even Kabul. At the same time, the tour provides glimpses of the current state of the film industry in the German capital, which has taken a major international star turn since the fall of the Wall.
