German Spy Museum (Deutsches Spionagemuseum) is located at Leipziger Platz in the center of the capital of Germany. The square was destroyed during the Second World War. During Cold War it was no man’s land at the Berlin Wall. It is very close to Checkpoint Charlie, famous Berlin Wall crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin, that was also ‘Octopussy’ filming location.
To enter the museum you have to validate your ticket and walk through double door. It takes… 007 seconds before second door opens.
The exhibition is mostly dedicated to real spies, but there is also fictional secret agents area. At the entrance to that room you can take a photo with 007 background. Below you can see my selfie with camera instead of gun.
There is a number of props that were used on sets of different James Bond movies. On several screens you can watch short parts of films where each prop was used.

I would like to thank Deutsches Spionagemuseum for possibility of visiting that amazing place.
On the red carpet there were several actors known from other James Bond movies, such as Ludger Pistor who appeared in “Casino Royale” as the Swiss banker Mendel.
Juergen Tarrach (in picture below together with his daughter) in “Casino Royale” was playing the role of Schultz, who was a hotel guest in the Ocean Club at Nassau. He asked James Bond to park his Range Rover, but 007 crashed the car to distract the security.
Clemens Schick played Kraft, who was Le Chiffre’s right-hand henchman in “Casino Royale”. It was difficult to recognize him in the movie, because Kraft was bold and not smiling like Schick in a picture below. Veruschka von Lehndorff (first from right in the same picture) played Grafin von Wallenstein taking part in the poker match in the same film.
About one hour before the film start Daniel Craig appeared on the red carpet together with the producer Barbara Broccoli, director Sam Mendes and actress Berenice Marlohe. Before standing in front of photographers Craig was signing autographs.
Producer Barbara Broccoli was interviewed.
Director Sam Mendes standing in front of photographers didn’t know yet that he would be back as director of next James Bond film “Spectre”.
Most expected person of the evening was Daniel Craig.
He was also posing together with Bond girl Severine played by Berenice Marlohe.
They were also posing all four together (from the left): Berenice Marlohe, Sam Mendes, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig.
