Karlshorst: German-Russian Museum Capitulation Site, Trabrennbahn Horse Racing, and the Eastern Berlin Locality in Lichtenberg
Karlshorst is a locality in Berlin's Lichtenberg borough with around 28,200 residents. The Deutsch-Russisches Museum marks the building where the German military signed the unconditional surrender on 8 May 1945, ending the Second World War in Europe. The Trabrennbahn Karlshorst, a harness racing track from 1894, operated until 2008 and the site is now partly redeveloped for housing.
Lichtenberg centre is to the north. Oberschoeneweide is to the south across the Spree. The S3 line connects Karlshorst to Alexanderplatz and central Berlin. During the Cold War, the Soviet military administration occupied large sections of the neighbourhood. Many former military buildings have been converted to residential use since reunification.
