Schweizer Botschaft in Berlin
Ready to dive into the fascinating history of the Swiss Embassy in Berlin? Our guide is looking forward to bringing you closer to this unique narrative!

3
Spreebogenpark
The Spreebogenpark has a very low-key design in terms of garden architecture, but offers great viewing axes and the many buildings in the vicinity of the park, such as the Federal Chancellery, the Paul Loebe House of the Bundestag, the Swiss Embassy and the main railway station.
4
Paul-Lobe-Haus
The Paul Loebe House may not be a masterpiece at first glance, but it is the pulsating heart of Parliament! The engine of the Republic is called it. A vibrant place of democracy. Surrounded by a variety of interesting art installations. With a stoop over the Spree, it is part of the Bund ribbon. Learn stories about a special architecture and features of the rooms.
5
Spree
The Spree meanders through the heart of our capital. Who knew that it once marked an invisible border between East and West for 28 years? On its shore, the wall actually rose – a silent witness to a divided history. But today, oh how has time changed! A number of bridges in the government district stretch across the Spree, connecting the old divide with new life. Here, on the banks of the Spree, political events are pulsating. Isn’t it fascinating to watch journalists conducting interviews with their microphones in hand while the Reichstag sits majestically in the background? Where walls once stood, ideas and visions are now flowing. Who could not feel that the Spree is more than just a river – it is a symbol of change, freedom and the incessant dynamism of life?
