Berlin Sachsenhausen Tour: Join us for a one of kind tour event on an in-depth one of a kind visit to Sachsenhausen! This is the Birchy’s Berlin’s Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Tour. Concentration camps were a key instrument in the Nazis regime of terror, and the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp was unique. The camp was the first purpose-built concentration camp within the Third Reich and the closest one to Berlin. It is also one of the most visited World War Two concentration camps in the world.
This tour is a complete visit to the memorial camp. The tour starts in Berlin City Center, where you will meet your guide, Aaron. After that we take a short train ride out to the Sachsenhausen Camp Memorial.
Aaron has held an Official Certified Sachsenhausen Tour Guide License for many years and has partaken in numerous courses as well as trained other Berlin Guides. His experience and one of a kind historical knowledge of Sachsenhausen makes this tour like no other!
Join Birchy or one of our expert guides on a public tour as we head to the north of Berlin and visit what was the closest concentration camp to the capital of the Third Reich, The Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp.
We will look at the way the concentration camps system developed from ad-hoc prisons into purpose-built facilities and look at the multitude of functions, crimes, experimentation, murder and mass murder that occurred within (and sometimes beyond) the confines of the camp from the summer of 1936 - until its liberation in late April 1945.
We will look at the changing prisoner demographic in the lead up to and into the Second World,

Our tour guide Julian was knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Sachsenhausen Camp.
He took us through the camp with in-depth information about each area.
We understood and felt the unfairness, misery and cruelty experienced here by far too many people.

Impressive and how cruel history was between 1933 and 1945 in Sachsenhausen during the German occupation. And yet beautifully passionately told by our guide Paul who led you through the front door for 3.5 hours until the final exam, the ovens and gas chamber.

Julian was my tour guide, and was a spectacular learning experience from beginning to end! Julian was very diligent in telling the stories and sharing key details and ensured we saw all of the important artifacts. This was definitely a wonderful way to see the camp and learn so much more of the stories beyond what we have read in the history books.

We had a wonderful knowledgeable tour guide who had a degree in History. Rebecca Bryant. She led us throught this tour with both professionalism and humility for the situation. My daughter and I were off course naturally moved and saddened remembering those innocents cruelly murdered.
Rebecca was tollerant as I have a disability and cannot walk long distances, she went ahead and prepared everything, from buses, tubes and food. Most excellent hostess. She should be recognised for the professional job she does.
Thankyou Rebecca.

I highly recommend this tour. Paul was very knowledgeable and gave us many tips for our Berlin trip in general, including showing us how to navigate the public transport system. This is an important tour that all visitors to Berlin should take the time to do.

So glad we booked the tour rather than visiting Sachsenhausen unguided. Our tour guide Stephen was amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly and covered the subject manor with respect.
The meetup spot is easy to locate and it is a short train trip out to Oranienburg . From there it is a short walk to Sachsenhausen. On the way interesting spots were pointed out which we would have simply walked past on our own.
Sachsenhausen is very large and if we had done it ourselves we would have run out of time to see everything. The tour covers all the main aspects and due to the train schedule you can remain behind after the tour to have a longer look around. Highly recommend and if I am in Berlin again I plan on using Birchy's Berlin tour for the city walking tour.

Paul was a brilliant and knowledgable tour guide and answered all our questions. He was very personable and brilliant at his job. He also directed us to many of Berlin's great shops and restaurants. He saved the day when the trains were cancelled and re-routed us too!
Thanks for a great Saturday in Berlin.
