Karlshorst
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karlshorst (literally meaning Karl's nest in German) is a district of Berlin.
Karlshorst has one of Berlin's metro stations and is a station on the Deutsche Bahn.
Karlshorst has a historically important background. In April 1945, as the Red Army approached the Reich's capital, Marshal Georgy Zhukov, commander of the 1st Belorussian Front, established his headquarters at Karlshorst. On May 9, the final German surrender was presented to Zhukov at Karlshorst by Colonel-General Hans-Jürgen Stumpff as the representative of the Luftwaffe, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel as Chief of Staff of OKW, and Admiral Hans-Georg von Friedeburg as Commander-in-Chief of the Kriegsmarine. Quite appropriately Karlshorst has been the home of the German-Russian Museum Berlin-Karlshorst (Deutsch-Russisches Museum Berlin-Karlshorst).
Karlshorst is also home of the German football team FC Karlshorst 1995, a rather obscure team playing in the lower leagues of the DFB.
