The Miracle of Bern
It was in 1954 when «the miracle of Bern» took place in the venerable Wankdorf Stadium: the German national team won the final against Hungary with a surprising 3:2 victory, making them the World Champions. Occasionally, this win is also referred to as «the actual birth of the Federal Republic of Germany» and was made into a movie called «The Miracle of Bern» in 2013.

The exhibition presents showpieces, trophies and documentaries about the long tradition of the yellow-and-black club and is open every Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. during the Championship.
