In search of new destinations and experiences, tourists are now visiting places that are monuments of tragedy, suffering, death and destruction. These places are often connected to mass murders or catastrophes. Such locations have always attracted interest, fascination and evoked dread. This phenomenon has been described as “dark tourism” or thanatourism. The aim of the article is to discuss the subject of thanatourism in the urban space of Berlin, which is becoming an increasingly popular branch of cultural tourism in Germany and other countries.
