Spotlight Berlin
Do you want to discover European history but don’t have time for two weeks of traveling? Our new format Spotlight could be just right for you: Six days in one city and one or two framing topics will bring you closer to a multi-perspective understanding of European history. This gives you the opportunity to experience PEACE LINE in a short and intense way. If you want to immerse yourself in Germany’s interwoven 20th century history, then join the Spotlight Berlin.
This year’s Spotlight Berlin will happen: 5-10 July 2026.
Berlin is a place full of stories and complex history. Countless monuments, memorials and museums deal with Germany’s history and also address the crimes committed by the National Socialists in Germany and abroad. In the Spotlight Berlin, we take a look at some of these places of remembrance and explore how World War II is commemorated.

Who became a perpetrator under National Socialism, who became a victim? The Spotlight takes a closer look at both groups and explores the question of whether the residents of Berlin and its surroundings knew about the crimes of the regime. The commemoration of these atrocities is central to the German culture of remembrance which will be discussed during the programme.
The Spotlight Berlin
During the Spotlight Berlin, you will learn about history on site, explore the past through different perspectives and meet many people from all over Europe.
