Introducing children to history is not easy. Parents who want to get their children excited about this currently have the opportunity to do so on the family Sundays of the German Historical Museum. The museum offers two guided tours and a screening of an old Erich Kästner film.
On January 29th at 12 noon there will be a children’s tour on the topic “Focus on helmets, crowns and weapons: A discovery tour with binoculars”. It is about the builder of the building, stories about objects and figures on the facade and on the roof of the building are told.
What is citizenship? What role does that play for me?
With binoculars, children between the ages of eight and fourteen can “explore the traces of history on the oldest building on Unter den Linden themselves. The tour is not only about admiring weapons and spoils of war, but also about taking a critical look at war and its consequences,” says the museum.
At 2 p.m. there will be another children’s tour on the topic “Where PASS do I go?” This is aimed at children between the ages of eight and fourteen. The questions are: What is a passport? What is citizenship? What role does that play for me? What would a world without citizenship be like?”
The children look at certificates, posters, letters and everyday objects, it is about the history of citizenship in the three countries France, Poland and Germany.
Also at 2 p.m., the film “The Flying Classroom” from 1954, based on the classic children’s book by Erich Kästner, will be shown. The family ticket for 18 euros includes admission and the tour for two adults and a maximum of three children. Further information Is there … here.
