Introduction

In 1987, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and the Mayor of Berlin, Eberhard Diepgen, jointly established the German Historical Museum (Deutsches Historisches Museum, DHM) on the occasion of Berlin's 750th anniversary. It is located in the oldest building of Berlin, the Berlin Armory, on the Unter den Linden avenue in the center of Berlin. In 2004, the museum's new wing, designed by I.M. Pei, was completed, adding a new atmosphere to the museum. After the restoration of the Armory building, the permanent exhibition of the DHM officially opened to the public in 2006, presenting a rich and diverse image and testimony of two thousand years of German history.
