Stalinstadt.Department store on the main road, 1960
Built from 1951, Eisenhüttenstadt served as a residential city for workers at the new "Eisenhüttenkombinat Ost" steelworks. A model for East German urban and social planning, it was the first new city founded in post-war Germany. Based on the "16 Principles of Urban Development," it was designed as a complete city, not just a housing estate. As a "factory town," it also reflected a Soviet model for new industrial centers developed from the 1930s. Eisenhüttenstadt (known as Stalinstadt from 1953-1961) showcases all East German architectural styles. Its core, built between 1951 and 1961, is a protected landmark and Germany's largest urban heritage site. The Documentation Centre's permanent exhibition presents Eisenhüttenstadt within the context of various new town concepts. An interactive city map helps visitors plan their own tour of this model city.

New Guard, 1945
The Neue Wache, built between 1816 and 1818 under Prussian King Frederick William III, served as a guardhouse and war memorial. Initially commemorating those fallen in the Napoleonic Wars, it later became a memorial to World War I victims after a 1931 redesign. Following World War II, it was reconstructed as a memorial to victims of fascism and militarism. In 1969, the remains of an unknown concentration camp prisoner and an unknown soldier were interred there. While once guarded continuously, today a guard is present only on the National Day of Mourning.
