Berlin Freedom Week: A week of freedom 
From 7 to 14 November 2026, Berlin – the city of freedom – invites you to the first Berlin Freedom Week: a new city-wide celebration dedicated to freedom and democratic exchange. Marking the 36th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the German capital will become an international stage for committed voices, bold ideas and shared visions. The week features conferences, talks with contemporary witnesses, workshops, film screenings and interactive formats for all generations – open to Berliners and international guests alike. Berlin Freedom Week creates space for reflection, dialogue and encounter – in a city that stands for the value of freedom like no other.
