  • 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.

  • Mauerparkmythofcreation
    Mauerpark – What’s with the name? Though the name of the Institute was originally inspired by the fact that it is one of the favourite hang-out place of many of the founders, the history of the park, its present use and its possible future are emblematic of where we want to go with our project, what values we espouse and what issues we want to work with. During the division of Berlin in two following the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 until its fall in 1989, the Mauerpark ("Wall Park") formed part of physical barrier, the most concrete manifestation of the Iron Curtain (no pun intended) erected between the citizens of the city. The term "Berlin Wall" is actually a misnomer, as the border installations actually consisted of two parallel sets of walls, between which was a strip of land patrolled by armed border guards, and further reinforced with obstacles such as razor wire rolls and anti-tank obstacles. This area between the two walls was known colloquially as the Death Strip as until 9 November, 1989, the border guards had orders to shoot anyone trying to escape over the walls. Fast forward a few short years and the formerly silent Death Strip of concrete and steel has become a lively, blossoming park, where people of all kinds of social and ethnic backgrounds, of various ages come to enjoy their lives, to lie in the sun, smell the flowers, have a beer, play music, sing karaoke or sell some funky artwork. From a place where two systems stared each other down it has now become a place where in more than one way can now 1000 flowers blossom.

Mélanie Budapest Lánchíd – The Chain Bridge The postcard in your hand is the first image of the city. Many never get any further than that: Budapest = The Chain Bridge. Of course, that which has become a cliché was once important. The Chain Bridge was the first bridge that connected the venerable, aristocratic, sedate and historical, hilly and green Buda with Pest. A new city built on flat grounds that was loud and boasted exciting artistic and bohemian influences. On this bridge Dorothee has found a corner that makes all this disappear, and only the architectural miracle appears, the myriad daubs, and below the ice floes on the Danube. And somewhere the morose morcos Katinka, who doesn’t like being photographed… I was curious to see which colour would dominate in the image, almost praying that it wouldn’t be the cold blue of the Mettmenstetter kitchen.

  • Berlin Commemorates the 25Th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall from 7–9 November
    Berlin commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall from 7–9 November Berlin, 30. October 2014 The countdown is on. From 7-9 November, 8,000 illuminated balloons will change Berlin’s face. They will line a “Lichtgrenze” (border of light) along the former path of the Berlin Wall from Bornholmer Straße, past Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie. Residents will reminisce, while visitors will be amazed at how the Wall had separated what have since become key arteries in the reunited city. Hearing Stories, Understanding History: The balloons are the visual centerpiece of the celebrations. But the commemoration is much more about the people. The celebration’s theme “Mut zur Freiheit” (“The Courage to Seek Freedom”) remembers those who made the peaceful revolution of 1989 possible. With 100 informational displays along the light installation, the Robert-Havemann Gesellschaft will help visitors remember the stories of those who were separated by the Berlin Wall and those who died trying to cross it. In addition, numerous guided tours will be offered in English, starting respectively at the Mauerpark, Checkpoint Charlie and the East Side Gallery. They will cover stories of division, escape and a city healing its wounds. Furthermore, volunteers from “Service in the City” are also glad to share their own memories about the Wall era. Finally, the festival on 9th November in front of the Brandenburg Gate will offer concerts as well as interviews with contemporary witnesses. At 7.00pm, the highlight of the anniversary weekend will begin with Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”. Than the balloons will be released from their poles and rise into the Berlin night sky.

  • Germany Itinerary
    Germany – Sample Itinerary Day One Begin your visit to Germany at the Story of Berlin Museum for an interactive overview of the history of the country. Stop by Checkpoint Charlie, the most famous crossing point between East and West Germany, which now serves as a reminder of the Cold War and the partition of Berlin. Then see the Topography of Terror exhibit to learn about the origins, development, and deployment of Nazi terror from 1930-1946. Finally visit and tour the Neue Synagogue and Museum. Day Two A visit to Classic Remise Berlin is exciting whether you are a car lover or not. This center for vintage cars is located in a historic tram depot and provides a terrific backdrop for some very cool photos. Perhaps the most noteworthy symbol of Berlin is the East Side Gallery – a portion of the Berlin Wall which serves as a memorial and art gallery with it's popular murals painted on the remnants of the wall. We will tour the area and get a more in depth understanding of the culture and history of the city. For lunch, we will meet and hear the story of a Syrian refugee living in Berlin at "Refugio Berlin," a center providing support and community to the refugee community. After some free time to prepare, we will join with the local community at the Central Synagogue to celebrate Shabbat together. Day Three After walking to the Urban Nation Street Art Museum, we will see varied insight into the history of urban contemporary art at this unique platform for urban art in Berlin.
