In ganz Deutschland: Denkmäler öffnen - von Flughafen bis Großtankstelle

Einmal im Jahr sind im ganzen Land Orte zu sehen, deren Türen sonst verschlossen sind. Was es mit dem „Tag des offenen Denkmals“ auf sich hat - und wie man schnell Spannendes in der Nähe findet.

In ganz Deutschland: Denkmäler öffnen - von Flughafen bis Großtankstelle

On September 13th, many heritage sites across Germany will open their doors to the public as part of the "Tag des offenen Denkmals" (Day of Open Museums). This annual event, coordinated by the German Foundation for Monument Conservation, aims to showcase over 6,500 protected monuments that are typically closed to the public. Visitors can easily locate these sites on the event's website, www.tag-des-offenen-denkmals.de, by entering their location.

Some sites may require prior registration, with time-limits ranging from a few days up to the day of the event. A free app is also available, bundling all necessary information in one place. The Day of Open Museums is Germany's largest cultural event, taking place on the second Sunday of September. While the day offers guided tours and visits, the website continues to inspire discovery tours even after the event, as demonstrated by Hamburg's diverse offerings - from famous landmarks like the Michel to historic factories and even a converted gas station built in the 1950s.
