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).

Berlin Central Station – Lehrter Bahnhof1 on the Site of the Historic
Berlin Central Station – Lehrter Bahnhof1 On the site of the historic Lehrter Bahnhof Europe’s largest station is being constructed: This is where an east-west and a north-south InterCityExpress railway line intersect, combined with suburban and under-ground railway lines. The north-south track runs in a tunnel 15 m below ground level, passing below the Spree and the Tiergarten. The east- west track is located 10 m above street level. The central design principle of the Lehrter Bahnhof is the prominent emphasis of the existing railway tracks in the urban landscape. Large filigree glass roofs as well as two bridging office buildings translate this principle with architectural means. In the central area of the station cross, which rests on a building socle, the ceilings of all levels are equipped with large openings, allowing daylight to penetrate as far as the underground platform levels, simultaneously ensuring a clear spatial orientation. Barrel vaults characterize the station hall located in a tunnel. The columns of these „vault tables“ are all centrally located on the platforms respectively between the railway tracks. The formal character of the cross vault ceilings in the north-south platform hall is also continued on the level above. Computer-Generated Rendering from DB Website Interior under Constructioin Fall 2006 Summer 2005 (©DB) (©RAKorb) The 321 m long glass roof of the east-west hall is constructed as a lattice shell of almost square net elements varying in dimension, which are stiffened with steel ropes. In the south the roof surface is covered with photovoltaic modules. The glass roof construction was initiated simultaneously east and west of the north-south intersection.

Jobs & Jobbing in Berlin
205JUNE 2021 | €4.90 | SPECIAL Jobs & jobbing in Berlin | 100% MADE IN BERLIN | PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER | BERLIN AT WORK Hackerspace history Although in vogue in recent years as a symbol of Berlin’s hip, tech-tinged, neo-liberal modernity, the practice of communal working in the city has actually been around much longer than many might think. In 1999, what could be seen as the very first coworking space in the world emerged on Berlin’s Rungestraße at c-base, a ‘hackerspace’ established to share knowledge about the emerging world of computer hardware and data software. Literally an alien concept at the time, a myth shared by members purports that the base was formed in the remnants of an ancient space station that crashed from orbit. By 2002, the organisation began to offer free wi-fi to its guests and in 2006 the Pirate Party Germany was founded there. While c-base was a club for those in the know, the first steps towards what many today would recognise as a coworking space came in 2005 with St. Oberholz at Rosenthaler Platz – the original laptop- friendly café. Back then, there was no iPhone, wi-fi was a novelty, laptops were large and heavy, and remote working was really only possible for freelancers. Also, unlike today, buying a cheap coffee at a café, pulling out a laptop and getting to work was not the done thing. But St. Oberholz changed this with the very first space where it was not only cool to be working in a café, it was strongly encouraged.
