Berlin Dungeon

Berlin Dungeon (Marina Rochel)

The Berlin Dungeon takes you on a 70-minute journey through 800 years of dark Berlin history.

Professional actors bring the eerily "amusing" characters of Berlin's dangerous past back to life with black humor in 360° settings with many special effects. 

Uncover the legend of the white woman, wander through the labyrinth of the Hohenzollern and meet Berlin's most notorious serial killer Carl Großmann. 

Also face Berlin's only indoor free fall tower, Exitus, and plunge 12 meters in total darkness. The shows are based on true stories from the capital.

Are you brave enough?
