KÖRPERWELTEN - BODY WORLDS Berlin

The BODY WORLDS at the foot of the Berliner Fernsehturms gives insights into the highly complex structures of the human body and shows what connects us, keeps us upright and in motion, and what makes us laugh and love.

BODY WORLDS Berlin invites you to a touching and inspiring encounter with life and to examine what defines us. The BODY WORLDS museum opens the your eyes to different aspects of life that influence us all, such as happiness and misfortune, excess and moderation, pressure and release, and chance and destiny.

Since 2017, BODY WORLDS has also displayed plastinated animals. Visitors can examine the inner workings of an antelope, a yak, a dog and even a lion who was born in the Berlin Zoo, Icke. The lion is especially impressive with his extraordinary muscles. Icke weight 200kg but his strong hind limbs could propel him across incredible leaps of nearly 12 metres.

BODY WORLDS Berlin was the first in a series of exhibitions created by Dr. Gunther von Hagens, who invented the process of plastination in 1977. Plastination is the process where real bodies are preserved for scientific research and medical education. While his work has been copied countless times, his own work is still the most spectacular.

Discover the secrets of the body and learn about how it functions from a unique perspective on your visit to Berlin. BODY WORLDS Berlin, also known as Körperwelten, is an essential educational attraction and an unforgettable experience. Book your BODY WORLDS Berlin tickets here to see the human body as you have never seen it before.
