Museum
German Spy Museum
Leipziger Pl. 9, 10117 Berlin
Interactive espionage museum on the former Berlin Wall death strip, with spy gadgets, ciphers and a laser challenge.
The German Spy Museum's guide in Berlin opens with the 1978 assassination of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, killed by a poisoned pellet fired from a rigged umbrella at a London bus stop, an artifact recreated on display inside. It follows Franz-Michael Günther, a former TV reporter whose own encounter with the East German Stasi led him to build the museum on ground once swallowed into the Wall's death strip. You'll cross a beam of red lasers built to test whether you could dodge a real agent's path.
