What it is
Sachsenhausen was a Nazi concentration camp on the outskirts of Oranienburg, north of Berlin, and afterwards a Soviet special camp. Today it is a memorial with museums in the barracks, the entrance tower, the roll-call square and the remains of the crematorium. It is a hard and necessary visit: allow half a day for getting there, returning and seeing it.
Opening times and price
Entry is free. The grounds and the exhibitions are open daily from 8:30 to 18:00 from 31 March to 26 October, and from 8:30 to 16:30 the rest of the year; the information centre, from 8:30 to 17:00. The audio guide, which we recommend, costs €3.50 and is available in Spanish; you do not need to book it.
How to get there from Berlin
By S-Bahn, line S1 to Oranienburg: about 45 minutes from Friedrichstraße, every 20 minutes. Faster, the RE 5 regional from Berlin Hauptbahnhof or the RB 12 from Ostkreuz or Lichtenberg, about 25 minutes, every hour. Get off at Oranienburg, not at Sachsenhausen. From the station it is about a 20-minute walk, or bus 804, every hour to the Gedenkstätte stop. You need an ABC ticket.
