In der Öffentlich keit ist die allgemeine Bezeichnung für diese Strecke Heidekrautbahn. Historischer Ausgangspunkt der Heidekrautbahn in Berlin war der Bahnhof Wilhelmsruh, an der Grenze zwischen den Bezirken Reinickendorf und Pankow. Die Strecke – in Betrieb genommen 1901 – führt in nördlicher bzw. nordöst- licher Richtung über Berlin-Blankenfelde, Schildow, Mühlenbeck und Schön- walde nach Basdorf, wo sie sich verzweigt. Mit dem Bau der Berliner Mauer wurde der Bahnhof Wilhelmsruh geschlossen und die Strecke in diesem Bereich abgebaut. In Schönwalde stellt bis heute eine 1950 gebaute Verbindungsstrecke den Anschluss an die S-Bahn in Berlin- Karow her. Seit vielen Jahren ist es politisches Ziel, die ursprüngliche Verbindung Richtung Berlin-Wilhelmsruh für den Personenverkehr wieder aufzunehmen.

  • Exploring the Altes Museum the Altes Museum Or Old Museum Was
    1 Sara Marcus 12-11-18 From Royalty to Bourgeoisie: Exploring the Altes Museum The Altes Museum or Old Museum was constructed in Berlin between 1824-30 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841). Originally known as the “Königliches Museum,” it was commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia for the purpose of being the first public art museum in Prussia as well as the first royal museum. As the relationship in the 19th century changed between art, the observer, and who should be a part of that experience, the Altes Museum was erected to embody the idea of Berlin as a center of learning and culture, and to elevate its citizens in the presence of art. The Berlin Museum emerged from a small group of the ruling class and it was first officially demanded and proclaimed by the Art Academy under Friedrich Wilhelm II. (Das Berliner Museum entsteht aus einer kleinen Gruppe der herrschenden Schicht. Öffntlich wurde es zuerst gefordrt und verkundet… in der Kunstakademie unter Friedrich Wilhelm II.)1 After the Wars of Liberation, his son, King Friedrich Wilhelm III, continued to advocate for the foundation of a public art museum to display the collection of artifacts that Prussia had amassed over the years. During the reign of Napoleon, Prussian art was forcefully taken to be displayed in Paris, which alerted the Prussian people that a permanent home to show off their national heritage was necessary.2 While ideas for a museum were already in the air, it is safe to say that the main reason why construction started when it did was in response to Napoleon’s looting.

This is a rise of around 6% compared to the same period the previous year. The second quarter contri­ buted 148,000 sqm, which means that an average first quarter was followed by a weak second quarter. The market uncertainties as a result of the COVID­19 pande- mic have left their mark on demand. Nevertheless, there were three lettings concluded in the >10,000 sqm size category over the last three months. The most active tenant was Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben (BIMA, Institute for Federal Real Estate) which leased 19,400 sqm in the submarkets Northern Suburb and 14,800 sqm Eastern Suburb. The most active sectors over the first half of the year were the public sector and 3.9%.

  • Blog Metadesign 2008 „Berlin Is Better“
    Blog Metadesign 2008 „Berlin is better“ Torstrasse 166 Fantasies are dreams in a state of awakeness: Phantasien sind Träume im Wachzustand (Franz Schmidberger, german publicist) — this is the Motto of an artistic project in the Torstrasse 166. A deserted building in Berlin‐Mitte was transformed by 12 artists to an experience space (Erlebnisraum), which touches all our senses... Unusual, surprising and thrilling, the installation tangles our perception. Don´t miss it! The art event will last till 12. October 2008. http://www.torstrasse166.de/ modern and beautiful? After the reunification, many new buildings were constructed in Berlin and quite a lot of them provoke a controversial discussion whether modern architecture enriches or rather destroys our cityscape. In particular the shopping mall „Alexa“ close to the Alexanderplatz, which was constructed in 2007, is not well received by everyone. The architects and owners of the complex claim that it follows the classical Art Deco Style and is constructed with much care and attention to beautiful details. The critics can’t follow this rationale and call the Alexa a nightmare in pig pink („Alptraum in Schweinchenrosa“) or a subterranean bunker, which was pressed by a tectonic plate movement to earth's surface and painted in pink („durch eine Erdverschiebung nach oben gedrückter Bunker, der Rosa angesprüht wurde“). http://www.alexacentre.com/mainsite/common/default.aspx http://www.hauptstadtblog.de/article/2389/haesslich‐wie‐die‐nacht However several modern buildings have been constructed in Berlin, which don’t polarize options as much – at least concerning their appearance. At the best they give Berlin its identity and the Berliners are proud and happy to see them.

  • Staatliche Museen Zu Berlin September 24–29, 2017 September, 2017
    Staatliche Museen zu Berlin September 24–29, 2017 September, 2017 Dear PREP Participants Welcome back to PREP and Willkommen in Berlin! It is wonderful to have you all here. We hope the coming week will be as interesting and insightful as the week we spent in New York in February. Over the coming days, we aim to introduce you to the key re- sources Berlin has to offer to researchers studying art losses in the Nazi-Era and also to other colleagues here in Berlin who are involved in provenance research in a variety of ways. We would also like to make you familiar with some of the institutions that are part of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and give you an idea of the work they are doing with regard to provenance research. Most of all, however, we would like to provide the setting in which you can continue the conversations you began in New York and carry on building the network that is PREP. We have asked you to contribute to quite a few of the events – thank you all for your many ideas and suggestions! We have tried to build PREP around the participants and your expertise and input are crucial to the success of the program. This applies not only to the coming week, but also to the future develop- ment of the PREP-Network. There are two ways in which we hope you will contribute to the long term success of PREP. One of these is that we hope you will all keep in touch after you leave Berlin and continue supporting each other in the impor- tant work you do.
