Visit Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp with a guided tour

Take a guided tour of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial with a licensed expert guide. You’ll be taken from the heart to Berlin to the memorial, and guided around the premises, while your guide tells you about the history of the place and the events that took place there.

Sachsenhousen Museum and Memorial

Sachsenhausen was the first purpose built concentration camp built under the oversight of SS-leader Himmler, designed as a labour camp under the Nazi regime. Under harsh working conditions and cruel circumstances, many people deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime perished at Sachsenhausen and other camps. This dark past is remembered at the current memorial and museum. The grounds are publicly accessible, and there are memorials and exhibitions spread around, but given the size of the camp and the extensive history of the place, the best way to learn about it is in a guided tour.

About the tour

The tour takes you past all the important parts of the former camp. You’ll explore the entire grounds with enough time to take everything in. Our guides are trained and licensed by the memorial institute itself, and have strong knowledge about the camp and its history. The tours are in smaller groups, of max. 15 people, so everyone can listen to the guide with ease, and all tours are in English.

Do keep in mind that this six hour tour can be intensive, there is a lot of walking involved. The tour runs in all weather circumstances, but mostly takes place outside, so prepare yourself if needed (jackets, sunscreen, umbrellas). There are no shops on the ground, but feel free to bring drinks and snacks. Your guide take you get to the grounds and back, but travel is by public transport, an ABC-ticket is required. In the town of Oranienburg and at Sachsenhausen Memorial itself you’ll be taken around by your guide, the entire tour is guided, and they will help you get back to Berlin as well. The entire trip takes about six hours, and offers a complete exploration.
