A Place Full of History

Teufelsberg is not a natural hill – it was created from the rubble of destroyed Berlin after World War II. Hidden beneath lies the unfinished structure of the Wehrtechnische Fakultät, planned by Adolf Hitler as part of his grand “World Capital Germania.” After the war, the site was completely covered, and in the 1960s, a new era began: the U.S. built its listening station here, the so-called Field Station Berlin. From its iconic white radar domes, signals from the Eastern Bloc were monitored – a symbol of Cold War espionage. Until 1992, the area remained a restricted military zone.

Art Meets History

Today, Teufelsberg is one of Berlin’s most thrilling spots: the abandoned facility has become a major street art hotspot in Europe. Hundreds of artists from around the world have transformed the deserted buildings into a vast open-air gallery – a constantly evolving artwork that combines history, urban art, and creative freedom. The mix of decay and color creates a unique atmosphere that captivates every visitor.
