  • THE RED TOWN HALL Seat of Government and Landmark in the Heart of Berlin Senatskanzlei © Senatskanzlei Berlin Michael Müller, Governing Mayor of Berlin
    THE RED TOWN HALL Seat of Government and Landmark in the Heart of Berlin Senatskanzlei Senatskanzlei Berlin © Michael Müller, Governing Mayor of Berlin Dear Visitors, Welcome to Berlin’s Town Hall, known as the ‘Red Town Hall’ (Rotes Rathaus) due to its red brick façade. This building, the seat of the Governing Mayor, is at the heart of policymaking in Berlin. The state gov- ernment convenes here every Tuesday in the Senate meeting room. At the same time, the Red Town Hall is a venue for encounters: conferences, readings, and exhibitions bring people with very different origins and interests together. Deserving citizens are honoured at the Town Hall, and it is where heads of state from all over the world sign the city’s Golden Book. However, the Town Hall is also a symbol of Berlin’s eventful history. It was built more than 150 years ago on the same site that had been occupied by the city’s town hall since the Middle Ages. As the seat of the mayor, the municipal assembly, and the city council, it played a key role in the history of democracy in Berlin. This came to an abrupt end in 1933 when the Nazis took power, systematically dismantling democracy and local self-government. The Town Hall sustained severe damage during the Second World War. It was rebuilt in the 1950s, becoming the seat of the mayor of East Berlin, while West Berlin’s Senate convened at Schöneberg Town Hall. It has been the shared seat of government for reunified Berlin since 1991. Today, the Red Town Hall remains loyal to its demo- cratic tradition, and is representative of Berlin’s cos- mopolitan outlook.

  • Interview with J.D. Bindenagel
    Library of Congress Interview with J.D. Bindenagel The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project AMBASSADOR J.D. BINDENAGEL Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: February 3, 1998 Copyright 2002 ADST Q: Today is February 3, 1998. The interview is with J.D. Bindenagel. This is being done on behalf of The Association for Diplomatic Studies. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. J.D. and I are old friends. We are going to include your biographic sketch that you included at the beginning, which is really quite full and it will be very useful. I have a couple of questions to begin. While you were in high school, what was your interest in foreign affairs per se? I know you were talking politics with Mr. Frank Humphrey, Senator Hubert Humphrey's brother, at the Humphrey Drugstore in Huron, South Dakota, and all that, but how about foreign affairs? BINDENAGEL: I grew up in Huron, South Dakota and foreign affairs in South Dakota really focused on our home town politician Senator and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Frank, Hubert Humphrey's brother, was our connection to Washington, DC, and the center of American politics. We followed Hubert's every move as Senator and Vice President; he of course was very active in foreign policy, and the issues that concerned South Dakota's farmers were important to us. Most of farmers' interests were in their wheat sales, and when we discussed what was happening with wheat you always had to talk about the Russians, who were buying South Dakota wheat.

  • Berlin, Capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, Is Located at the Heart of Europe and Also, After EU Enlargement in 2004, at the Centre of the European Community
    Berlin, Capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, is located at the heart of Europe and also, after EU enlargement in 2004, at the centre of the European Community. With about 3,400,000 inhabitants, Berlin is the largest City in Germany. It is 38 kilometres long and 45 kilometres wide and covers an area of 889 square kilometres. In the middle of the Brandenburg region, the city occupies the flatlands on the banks of the Havel and Spree rivers and is criss-crossed with numerous canals. BY AIRPLANE: You can fly to Berlin from 167 airports in 53 countries. Aircrafts operated by over 67 different airlines land in Berlin. If charter flights are included, that figure rises to 99. The largest of Berlin's three airports are Tegel and Schönefeld. Tegel continues to function as the gateway to western Europe. Most of the flights to eastern Europe and Asia are handled by Schönefeld. Airport Tegel (TXL) 13405 Berlin (Reinickendorf) Tegel is situated in north-west Berlin, approximately 8 km from the city-centre. The airport is located conveniently within Berlin, in ca. 15 minutes the western city centre can be reached. Apart from the buses 109 and 128 the bus X9 which leaves from the train station Zoologischer Garten connects the airport to the city centre, this bus stops only at the main subway stations, therefore the ride doesn't take long. There is also the JetExpressBus TXL which links the avenue Unter den Linden, in the eastern city centre, with the airport. The bus or undergound ticket costs € 2.10 (or € 2.60 for trips to the surroundings, zone ABC).

  • Bertelsmann and Berlin Underground Builders Transform U5 Station Into Underground Gallery
    PRESS RELEASE ‘BAU X KUNST’: Bertelsmann and Berlin Underground Builders Transform U5 Station into Underground Gallery • Large-format oil paintings by the plein-air painter Christopher Lehmpfuhl document the complete construction cycle of the Humboldt Forum • Free admission to the exhibition in the future underground station “Unter den Linden” on two “Open Construction Site Days” at the end of October Berlin, October 1, 2018 – The international media company Bertelsmann and Projektgesellschaft U5, the project company responsible for the construction of the subway, are transforming Berlin’s future junction station “Unter den Linden” into an underground gallery. On October 27 and 28, under the heading “BAU X KUNST,” large-format works by the Berlin-based plein-air painter Christopher Lehmpfuhl will be on display, dedicated to the spectacular construction activities on nearby Schlossplatz: Over a period of ten years, Lehmpfuhl documented first the demolition of the former Palace of the Republic, and then the gradual reconstruction of the Berlin Palace including the Humboldt Forum. Several of his paintings were created on the rooftop of Bertelsmann Unter den Linden 1. Lehmpfuhl’s open- air paintings will now make their public underground debut for a short time. The already well- advanced underground station “Unter den Linden” will be open to the public during the exhibition. Besides art, the two “Open Construction Site Days” will feature information on six years of underground construction, as well as insights into the tunnel and the three-story construction built by the project company U5 on behalf of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG, Berlin Transport Authority). Christopher Lehmpfuhl, who has accompanied Berlin’s transformation in his art over the decades, has also been following the major architectural changes at Schlossplatz since 2008, producing more than a hundred expressionist oil paintings of the various construction phases to date.
