  • MUSLIMS in BERLIN Muslims in Berlin
    berlin-borito-10gerinc-uj:Layout 1 4/14/2010 5:39 PM Page 1 AT HOME IN EUROPE ★ MUSLIMS IN BERLIN Muslims in Berlin Whether citizens or migrants, native born or newly-arrived, Muslims are a growing and varied population that presents Europe with challenges and opportunities. The crucial tests facing Europe’s commitment to open society will be how it treats minorities such as Muslims and ensures equal rights for all in a climate of rapidly expanding diversity. The Open Society Institute’s At Home in Europe project is working to address these issues through monitoring and advocacy activities that examine the position of Muslims and other minorities in Europe. One of the project’s key efforts is this series of reports on Muslim communities in the 11 EU cities of Amsterdam, Antwerp, Berlin, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Leicester, London, Marseille, Paris, Rotterdam, and Stockholm. The reports aim to increase understanding of the needs and aspirations of diverse Muslim communities by examining how public policies in selected cities have helped or hindered the political, social, and economic participation of Muslims. By fostering new dialogue and policy initiatives between Muslim communities, local officials, and international policymakers, the At Home in Europe project seeks to improve the participation and inclusion of Muslims in the wider society while enabling them to preserve the cultural, linguistic, and religious practices that are important to their identities.

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

  • Edition 2003
    Senate Department for Urban Development 05.06. Nature Reserves and Landscape Reserves (Edition 2003) Overview Endangerment of Natural Habitats The conditions of life for wild plant and animal species have clearly worsened since the middle of the last century, especially in urban areas. About half of the wild plants and animal species previously attested in Berlin are today extinct, threatened by extinction, or endangered. This development provides cause for concern, since, due to the complex relationship between plants and animals and their biocenoses, individual gaps as a rule mean the loss of several species. The most important causes for species decline are the destruction of the natural habitats and the changes in the conditions of life. As a consequence of the utilization of areas for development, soil impermiability, etc. habitats have been and are being destroyed or fragmented so greatly that they no longer offer undisturbed refuge for sensitive species. Furthermore, the entry of harmful materials from industry, trade, transportation systems and households leads to considerable impairment of the natural foundations of life. In Berlin, this has become apparent through major impoverishment of moss and lichen flora and damage to forest areas. In Berlin in 2003 the damage to forests remain stable with 25% visible damages, compaired to the region on a higher level. 22% of the forest area displayed no visible damage symptoms (Stage 0), 53% showed slight damage (Stage 1). In Brandenburg damage to forests remained unchanged for about the past 8 years. Since 1999 the significant damages has been rising constant for 4 % to current 11 %. Half of the forest area remains, also for 2003, without visible damages.

    2. Study site 2. Study site 2.1 Geographical, geological and climate conditions 2.1.1 Geographical and geological conditions Berlin is the capital and the largest city of Germany. It is located in the Northern German Lowlands, in the middle of the Havel and Spree river systems which are part of the river Elbe basin. In present time, the city has a population of 3,4 million inhabitants and covers an area of 892 km2, of which 59 km2 consists of various sizes of rivers, riverine lakes and ponds (BERLINER STATISTIK, 2006). The elevation of the city varies between 32 m a.s.l. (at Wannsee) and 115 m a.s.l. (at Müggelberge). Berlin’s landscape is characterized by Quaternary glacial deposits, slow-flowing lowland rivers with their Holocen flood plains and shallow riverine lakes. The region was formed by three glacial periods: the Elsters, Saale and Weichsel glacial (Figure 2.1). The deeper subsurface strata series are being covered by thick Tertiary and Quaternary overburden (KALLENBACH, 1995). Glacial erosion and drainage during the ice melt formed the rivers Dahme, Spree and Havel, and their riverine lakes: Lake Tegel, Lake Wannsee and Lake Müggelsee. Three aquifers of the city are formed in Pleistocene glacial sediments. They are separated from each other by thick layers of boulder clay or till that act as aquitards (KNAPPE, 2005). Figure 2.1: Berlin Geological Scheme (SENSTADTUM, 1999) 3 2.
