Berlin was once the resi- dence of the Hohenzollern, capital of the German Empire and of German Democratic Republic (DDR), Weimar Republic and the Third Reich. Following the end of the dic- tatorship of terror, the old Nazi center of power was occupied by Allied Forces and divided into 4 zones. Nowhere in the world are the consequences of the politics of the Cold War as clearly visible as in Berlin. From 1961 to 1989, the East and West were divided by a wall. After the fall of the wall and the reunification Germany, Berlin became the capital again. On this first day we visit the government district with Parliament and Chancellery.

With the St Nicholas’ Church, which resembles St. Paul‘s Cathedral in London, the Brandenburg Parliament, built on the site of the former city palace, the Potsdam Museum and the Museum Barberini, this square combines an exciting mixture of modernity, culture, art and politics.
