German Spy Museum

The German Spy Museum offers an interactive and multimedia-led journey through the history of espionage. The exhibition covers military intelligence in both world wars, including the story of Enigma.

After WWII, Berlin became the “Capital of Spies” during the Cold War, where East and West clashed through espionage, secret trades on the Glienicke Bridge, and advanced spy technology. Visitors can explore unique artifacts and learn about the East German Stasi and their rivals.

In the modern era, intelligence services battle cyber threats, fake news, and data breaches, while whistle-blowers like Edward Snowden expose hidden truths. The museum also highlights how data has become a valuable currency, with social media and smart devices tracking personal information. Guests can learn to create secure passwords, detect fake news, and understand the role of Big Data in today’s world.
