Cidell Department of Geography and Environmental Studies California State University San Bernadino 5500 University Parkway, SB 327 San Bernadino, CA 92407 Tel: (909) 538 3777 [email protected] 1 Missed Opportunities: The Restructuring of Berlin’s Airport System and the City’s Position in International Airline Networks Abstract After its history as a divided city, Berlin was expected to become a major world city following reunification. While the city has grown in terms of investment and social capital, it has not attained the preeminent status on the global stage that was expected. One important reason for this is that Berlin remains no more than a secondary hub in the global airline industry. In this article, we measure the city’s importance in airline networks at four points from 1989 to 2006. We then explain the city’s stature in those networks today as a product of both larger forces in the airline industry and circumstances more specific to Berlin. The former include liberalization and the development of airline alliances. In Berlin, meanwhile, the fractured airport system, which the city inherited from the Cold War, has been an obstacle to Berlin’s aspirations for centrality in the airline industry.

  • The History of a Hotel – Reading Comprehension
    The history of a hotel – Reading Comprehension The Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin is a luxury hotel in Berlin, Germany. It is located on Unter den Linden, the main boulevard in the central Mitte district, at the corner with Pariser Platz, directly opposite the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The legendary original Hotel Adlon was one of the most famous hotels in Europe. It opened in 1907 and was largely destroyed in 1945 in the closing days of World War II, though a small wing continued operating until 1984. The current hotel, which opened on August 23, 1997, is a new building with a design inspired by the original. In the late 19th century, European hotels, which generally offered no more than overnight accommodation, evolved to become social gathering places which could host large receptions given by nobility and the wealthy. Modeled on American hotels like the Waldorf Astoria, new hotel buildings arose all over the continent with lavishly decorated ballrooms, dining halls, arcades, smoking lounges, libraries, and coffeehouses. In 1873 the Hotel Imperial opened in Vienna, followed by the Hôtel Ritz Paris in 1898, and The Ritz London Hotel in 1906. History in Details In 1905 Lorenz Adlon, a successful wine merchant and restaurateur originally from Mainz, purchased two properties on Unter den Linden. Adlon ran several coffeehouses in Berlin, among others in the Berlin Zoological Garden, and had raised capital to build a hotel on Pariser Platz, at the heart of the German capital. He convinced Kaiser Wilhelm II that Berlin needed a luxury hotel at the level of those in Paris, London and the other European capitals, and so the Kaiser personally cleared the way for Adlon's purchase of the Palais and for the subsequent demolition of the historic building and the constrtuction of the first Adlon Hotel.
