The Haus der Geschichte in Bonn presents our country’s most recent past, from the end of World War II to the present day, in a way that is both alive and current.
This book, vividly illustrated with countless photographs, guides the reader on a narrative tour of the new permanent exhibition. Prominent objects like the T-34 panzer, used to suppress the uprising of 17 June 1953, or the “VW Bulli”, an icon of the hippy era, bring German post-war history alive. Eyewitness interviews provide individual access to key events.
