The Berlin souvenir for your pocket

Magnets, snow globes and bears are on every corner in Berlin. Our Berlin souvenirs and gifts are different: small kits made from local wood that you build yourself and that then stand as a miniature on a shelf, a desk or in a display box. Each design comes in its own matchbox and fits in any bag.

Which Berlin design is right?

Brandenburg Gate – the classic Berlin souvenir, 16 pieces, about 7 cm wide.
Reichstag – our most detailed Berlin kit with 34 pieces.
GDR prefab block WBS 70 – for anyone nostalgic for the East or who once lived in one.
St Catherine's Church Brandenburg – brick Gothic from Brandenburg an der Havel, also as a larger 15 cm version.

Who is it for?

For visitors: a reminder of the trip that won't break in the suitcase.
For those who moved away: a piece of home for anyone missing Berlin.
For a move: for anyone moving to Berlin or leaving it.
For colleagues: as a small gift or Secret Santa present.

What is a special souvenir from Berlin?

One you build yourself. Our wooden Berlin kits are unpacked, put together and then stand on the shelf as a miniature Brandenburg Gate or Reichstag.

What are typical gifts from Berlin?

Classics are Ampelmann items, Berlin bears and anything featuring the Brandenburg Gate or the TV Tower. If you are looking for something to build yourself, give a landmark as a mini wooden kit: the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag or the GDR prefab WBS 70, each in a matchbox.

How big are the Berlin kits?

Assembled, they are about 5 to 7 cm in size; the Brandenburg Gate is about 7 cm wide. They come packed in a matchbox.

Is a Berlin kit a good gift for a move?

Yes. For anyone moving to Berlin or leaving it, a landmark of the city makes a lovely keepsake. More ideas in our Secret Santa guide.

Are the kits available in larger quantities, for example for hotels, companies or tour guides?

Yes. Use our contact form to tell us which designs and how many you need.
