The awakening of the era of industrialization in the 19th century and the growth of the restless metropolis of the “roaring 20s”, the destructions in World War II as well as the Wall, the reconstruction in the East and the West and finally the reunification have left their marks in the city and the character of its people. Get to know the numerous facets of this vibrant and exciting city with us and explore it closely.
