Foreword
Transport
After a mild winter, its time for Berliners and their visitors
to head outdoors again. The citys bars will regret the drop
in income, but the cheap beers and booze sold at the
ubiquitous Spti late-night shops and the lush park lawns
beckon once again. If youre in town during the rst warm
weekend of the year, we recommend you visit Tempelhofer
Freiheit park, and watch the scene of thousands of Berliners
crammed on the Grill-areas, enjoying the rst barbecue of
the season.

Although Berlin is lodged in the middle of the great

empty vastness of northeast Germany, its very well
connected to the rest of civilisation by bus, train, Autobahn
and air. Once in Berlin, youll wish that your home town had
such good public transport.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Berlins integrated network of U-Bahn (Untergrundbahn,
underground trains), bus, and Straenbahn (trams) run
by BVG and S-Bahn and RE (Schnellbahn and regional
commuter trains run by DB) usually works like a dream. Just
remember the number or colour and end station of the line
you want to use, and youll be navigating the labyrinth-like
stations like a local.
Most S/U-Bahn trains, buses and trams run every 5-15 minutes
during the day. M buses and trams run every half hour at
night; U-Bahn trains run every 15 minutes on weekend nights,
with N buses following their routes every half hour (starting
from Hackescher Markt) on weekday nights.
Tickets can be used on all BVG, S-Bahn and local RE train
services. Vending machines have instructions in English
and accept coins, often bank notes and cards too. Berlins
AB travel zone contains nearly everything; youll only need
an ABC-ticket for Potsdam and Schoenefeld airport.
With an Einzelfahrschein ticket (AB-zone 2,70, ABC
3,30) you can travel one-way for up to two hours with
unlimited transfers; its cheaper to buy four tickets at once
(Vier-Fahrten-Karte, 9). Buy a 1,60 Kurzstrecke (short
distance) ticket if you want to travel up to three S/U-Bahn
stops, or up to six stops by bus or tram. If you anticipate
a lot of travelling, get the Tageskarte (day ticket, valid
until 03:00 the next morning; 6,90) or the seven-day
pass (29,50). Groups of up to ve people are best o
with a Kleingruppenkarte (group day ticket, 16,90). The
multi-day Berlin Welcomecard (18,50-38,50) is valid for
transport and some attractions.
Before boarding the S- or U-Bahn, always validate your
ticket by punching it in the yellow or red machines near
the end of the platforms. On buses and trams, the machines
are on board. Public transport uses the honour system, and
there are regular checks by uniformed and plainclothes
inspectors. If you are caught without a valid ticket youll
be ned 40 on the spot.
BVG
The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe run the U-Bahn, buses and
trams. Their handy trip planner can be found at www.
fahrinfo-berlin.de.Qtel. +49 30 194 49, info@bvg.de,
www.bvg.de.
TAXIS
Berlins friendly and ubiquitous beige Mercedes taxis can be
called or hailed on the street. They can also be found queing
at S/U-Bahn stations and near nightlife hotspots. Not all taxis
accept credit cards, ask when you book. Prices are the same
day and night; agfall plus the rst kilometre is 3,40; then up
to 7km its 1,79/km, thereafter 1,28/km. Waiting costs 25/
hr. For short hops hail a taxi already driving in the direction
you need to go and immediately ask for the Kurzfahrstrecke
tarri; 4 for 2km. By the way, Funk means radio.

CYCLING
As long as its dry, getting around Berlin is really best done
by bicycle. Its a at city, there are plenty of cycle paths and
wide bus lanes for you to use and you see so much more
from the saddle than from the U-Bahn train window. Note
that cycling on the pavement is illegal and may get you
ned, even though everyone does it. Cycling across town
may take a while, though for 1,60 you can take your bike
on an S/U-Bahn train too. There are dozens of bike rental
places, most charging 10-12 per day. The urban bike
trip planner www.bbbike.de can suggest low-trac and
cobblestone-free routes across Berlin.
CITY CARDS
Discounts are a welcome relief, so if you are planning
to travel around town a lot and see more than one
museum, get a reduced rate card. Note that students
and youths may get better reductions at museums
using their student ID cards.
BERLIN WELCOMECARD
The Berlin WelcomeCard is a combined transport and
reduction card (museums, bike tours/rental, boat tours,
etc) valid for zone AB or zone ABC (which includes
Potsdam and Schnefeld airport). Cards are valid for 48
hours (AB 18,50, ABC 20,50), 72 hours (25,50/27,50)
or 5 days (32,50/37,50). Theres also a 72-hour variety
(38,50/40,50) that includes free admission to the ve
Museumsinsel museums. Cards are sold online and from
BVG ticket machines, tourist oces, S-Bahn oces, hotels
and kiosks. The similar CityTourCard (www.citytourcard.
com) is a little cheaper, with restaurant, bar and club
discounts geared towards younger travellers: 48 hours
(AB 16,90, ABC 18,90), 72 hours (23,90/25,90) or
5 days (30,90/35,90).Qwww.berlin-welcomecard.de.
MUSEUM PASS BERLIN
50 museums, including the permanent collections of
the Staatliche Museen (state museums), can be visited
with the Berlin Museum Pass (24/12, valid three days).
Its for sale at the museums, tourism oces and online.

Sports in Berlin
Sports in Berlin
Despite being rivals, Berlins six professional sports
collaborate to improve the circumstances for professional
sports in Berlin, promoting Berlins image as an international
sports event destination.
Alba playing at the O2 World Stadium
Berlin is without a doubt the German capital of sports - the

city has no less than six professional sports teams, playing
ve exciting spectator sports: Hertha BSC and FC Union
play football, the Eisbren is an ace ice hockey team, Alba is
Berlins renowned basketball club, the Fchse play handball,
and volleyball is taken care of by the BR Volleys. Their
home matches attract huge numbers of visitors to Berlins
stadiums; last season alone 2,4 million tickets were sold
for their events. In addition to this, Berlins streets regularly
host huge sports events such as the public viewing festivals
during major sports events abroad, and the city also hosts
countless amateur sports matches.
ALBA BERLIN (BASKETBALL)

Also known as the Albatrosse,
Berlins basketball club is
Germanys most successful, and
has the largest fanbase; home
matches easily attract 10,000
spectators. The current teams
average height is an impressive
1,98m. Since going pro in 1991,
Alba has won the German League 8 times and the
German Cup 7 times (including 2013), and was also
the rst German team to win an international title with
the 1995 Korac Cup.
Alba slam-dunk their way to victory at their home O2
World stadium on the following dates:
9 Apr, 20:00: Maccabi Tel Aviv
15 Apr, 20:00: Phoenix Hagen
24 Apr, 20:00: Crailsheim Merlins

1805 57 00 11, www.albaberlin.de. Tickets 8-65.
The home matches of Berlins pro teams are easy to visit:

you dont need to understand German to be able to follow
a match and unlike in other European countries, sports
matches in Germany are quite peaceful events, meaning
its no problem to bring the whole family to the stadium
for an afternoon or evening of fun. Finding out about
which matches are playing where can be problematic for
visitors however as the club websites are not all available
in English, and some make it dicult to nd the upcoming
playing dates. In the club details here we have listed all
home matches for the following months, though always
keep an eye on the club websites for changes or additional
matches. Berlins ocial English-language sports website
www.berlin-sportmetropole.de has information about
all the teams, venues and tickets; ticket booking site
www.eventimsports.de sells tickets for all matches.
Originally from the Charlottenburg on the other (West) side
of the city, the Albatrosse, Berlins premier basketball club,
is now based at the O2 World in Friedrichshain, in the old
East. Its one of Germanys best teams, with plenty of recent
wins. Its fun to attend their home games as the stadium is
always packed with happy and loyal fans of all ages - with
higher attendance than any other European basketball
team. In late 2014, Alba even beat the US NBA winner,
San Antonio Spurs. Dont miss them when theyre playing
home in Berlin.Enjoy cheering for Berlin!
EISBREN BERLIN (ICE HOCKEY)

Originating in 1953 in
East Germanys Dynamo
sports club, the polar
bears is Berlins popular
professional ice hockey
team. They have won
the national Deutsche
Eishockey Liga 7 times,
more than any other
team, most recently in
2013 under Canadian
coach Je Tomlinson. They also bagged the European Trophy in 2010; unfortunately they were not
as lucky in recent seasons. But their home matches
at the O2 Stadium are true family fests, with plenty of young fans packing the seats, and a festive,
good-humoured atmosphere.The Eisbren unfortunately didnt make it through to the nals, so their
season ends early in 2015, and there are no upcoming home matches spring.QI-4, Mildred-Harnack-Strae (O2 World), Friedrichshain, MS/U

Berlin, originating in East Berlin in 1966 and a feared
counterpart for the GDRs state-inuenced Dynamo
club. Union is still ercely independent, based in their
charming An der Alten Frsterei stadium. The club has
resisted all commercialism, with a club anthem sung
by punkrock legend Nina Hagen, and a stadium
uniquely partly owned by passionate fans. Nicknamed

1990s, but has had more success in the national

CRIME & SAFETY

Berlin is a relatively calm and safe place. Instances of petty
crimes are low compared to other Western European capitals, though you shoulds still always keep an eye on your
valuables and never leave bags, wallets and mobile phones
unattended. Just like anywhere else, be careful when walking in unlit streets late at night. Race-related hassles seldom
occur in Berlins touristed central areas.
ELECTRICITY
Electrical current in Germany is 220v AC, 50 Hz via standard European round, two-pin sockets. Converters can be
bought at the airport and large electronics shops, and
many hotels will have them at the front desk too.
ERASMUS STUDENT
NETWORK
How do international students get to meet locals
and the city during an academic exchange? The
best way to do it is via the Erasmus Student Network
(ESN), one of the biggest interdisciplinary student
associations in Europe. It was developed to help
internationals during their stay abroad. ESN is present
in more than 430 Higher Education Institutions in 36
countries. The closest section to Berlin is the section
in Potsdam, where more than 20 volunteers care for
you. For information, see potsdam.esngermany.org or
www.facebook.com/esn.lei.potsdam.

MONEY
Germany uses the euro (). Banknotes come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500. Coins,
whose design depends on in which country they were
minted, come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50
cents and 1 and 2. Credit and debit card payment is
possible in a wide range of shops, restaurants and nightlife
venues, though always have cash on you for small payments
just in case. This guide indicates which places do not accept
plastic. ATMs can be found everywhere; those that charge
for transactions clearly indicate the fee during the process.
Exchange oces can be found at the major train stations.
VISAS AND ENTRY

FORMALITIES
EU citizens can stay in Germany as long as they like, though
registration at a Brgeramt oce is ocially required for stays
more than a few months. Citizens of Australia, Canada, Hong
Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Mexico USA and a few
others can enter Germany without a visa for a maximum of 90
days in any six month period. All other nationals need to apply
for a German visa in advance. Note that theres no passport
control between Germany and the other 14 European Schengen countries, and visas to any of these are valid for travel in
Germany too. All visitors need a passport that is valid for at
least fourth months from the date of arrival; EU citizens can
enter with a valid EU identity card too. Check the MFA website

Rainfall (mm)
Germans like their beer, drinking about 107 litres per capita
per year (down from 136 litres 15 years ago). Unfortunately
Berlins local brew, the slightly sour Berliner Weie, is only really palatable mit Schuss, with a shot of sweet fruit sirup. Cocktails and long drinks of varying quality and price are available
in a multitude of places. Non-alcoholic drinks often sipped
in Berlin include Apfelschorle, a refreshing mix of apple juice
and sparkling water, and Club-Mate (kloob mah-tea) ice tea,
made with extract of the South American mat plant, caeine
and tannins, and is popular with local hipsters as it comes in
a screw top bottle so you can hiply tote it around (or drink to
just below the top label and top it up with wodka).
Temperature C
DRINKS & ALCOHOL
With endless forests, lakes and pretty countryside in all

directions, Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg
oer plenty of opportunities to get out of the city and play
some golf in a calm green setting. The gentlemans game
has evolved a lot since the early days, and now is popular
with people from all walks of life. The fall of the Berlin Wall
25 years ago helped open up many new locations to play
the sport outside of the city. Here we list the main courses
in and around Berlin.

around. The Staatsballett Berlin is the main classic
dance company. Tanzraumberlin magazine (www.

Stiftung Deutsches Historisches Museum
The Second World War ended in Europe on the 8th of

May 1945 with the capitulation of the Wehrmacht. Six
years of war had cost the lives of millions of people
and brought with it a previously unknown degree of
destruction. War and occupation, crimes, expulsions
and forced resettlement had left a lasting mark on
each country and population. On the occasion of the
70th anniversary of the German capitulation, the new
1945 Defeat. Liberation. New Beginning. exhibition
at the Historisches Museum focuses on a snapshot of
Germany and eleven other countries. It examines the
situation in which these societies and political systems
found themselves at the end of the war, as well as the
most important upheavals of the post-war period. In
addition, it sheds light on the everyday lives of people.
Thirty-six juxtaposed biographies form the basis for
an investigation of the consequences of the war years
for the people without qualifying or weighing the
experiences or the suering of the dierent individuals
against one another.

WEST:BERLIN EXHIBITION
To anyone who realises how crazy Berlins history is,
its not surprising at all that the West:Berlin exhibition
is located in an elegant palace in the former East
Berlin that itself was dismantled and stored in rival
West Berlin for many years. For half a century, West
Berlin was a heavily politicised and highly subsidised
Island of Freedom marooned inside the GDR, and 500
exhibits with English captions show the development
of this half of the city, from post-war ruins via its
function as a showcase of the western Allies, and from
the years of decline after the fall of the Wall in 1989
to its current revival. Photographs, art, objects, cars
and an audio-salon with the sounds of the half-city
demonstrate why West for many is still best. English
texts available at the ticket desk.
WEST:BERLIN, until 28 June. Open Tue-Sun 10:00
- 18:00, Wed 12:00 - 20:00. Ephraim-Palais, G-3,

The Wintergarten Theatre shows are inspired by a

legendary century of revue theatre in Berlin, made big
by Marlene Dietrich and other stage divas. The original
Wintergarten unfortunately didnt survive the Second
World War, but its resurrection here on Potsdamer Strasse
keeps the show going on. Until 7 June, theBreakinMozart
show combines variety performances and classical
music, adding the unlikely element of breakdancing by
the award-winning DDC Company dance group. Besides
whirling dance shows, theres diabolo wizardry, partner
acrobatics, and a male contortionist. Mozarts music is
performed live in both orchestra versions and modern
human beatbox adaptations.

Mitte
Mitte
Between Mitte and Charlottenburg, the huge Tiergarten
park began as the Great Electors hunting grounds in the
1600s. Trac passes through it, doing a dosey-doe around
the Siegessule victory column. The Strae des 17. Juni
leads east to the Brandenburger Tor; just south of it are the
state museums of the Kulturforum and the Potsdamer Platz
district with its soaring corporate buildings.
GETTING THERE
Arrivals by plane and train usually end up at Hauptbahnhof
station, central for the city but not really close to anything.
S-Bahn trains from the top level link to the east and west
of the city, while the fancy new two-stop U55 U-Bahn line
takes sightseers straight to Brandenburger Tor.
POCKET WALK
Start o at Brandenburger Tor and the Reichstag before
heading south past the Holocaust memorial and Potsdamer
Platz to the Topographie des Terrors exhibition and the
adjacent stretch of Berlin Wall. Follow Zimmerstrae for
the Stasi Exhibition and Checkpoint Charlie. Walk north
along Friedrichstrae and turn right at Mohrenstrae for
Gendarmenmarkt square, before ambling to Unter den
Linden via Bebelplatz. Walk east past the Neue Wache and
Berliner Dom, turn left into Spandauer Strae, and pass
through Hackescher Markt station. Visit the Hackesche
Hfe complex before walking down Oranienburger Strae
for the Neue Synagoge. You can catch the S-Bahn from here
back to Brandenburger Tor.
Since reunication, the old city centre district Mitte

(meaning middle) has rightly snatched back the title of
most-visited district from Charlottenburg. On and o the
boulevard Unter den Linden are baroque and classical
monuments to Prussian culture. The architecturally
humbler but more neighbourhood-like Scheunenviertel
area allows the casually chic to saunter from courtyard
gallery to sidewalk caf. Only traces are left of the Jewish
community that lived here from the late 17th century,
welcomed by the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm.

JOSEPH ROTH DIELE

A wonderfully cosy dark brown bar owned by the same
people who run the Ave Maria religious shop, right next
door to Joseph. Its named after a prolic Jewish writer
whose quotes decorate the walls and who lived nearby in
the 1920s when this street was the beating heart of Berlins
nightlife. A nicely-priced lunch and delicious Flammkuchen
pies are served, and its a great place for a beer or wine

When Berlins Hauptbahnhof main train station opened

in 2006 on the site of the former Lehrter Bahnhof, it
was marooned in a desolate plain. The area was never
residential; instead used for the train business and
exhibitions.
RESTAURATION 1840
Located in a vaulted space under the S-Bahn tracks, this
traditional Berlin restaurant designed to recall the golden
1920s serves regionally sourced international cuisine, 1840
creations, including local favourites such as Slze (cold
knuckle), Buletten (meatballs) and Currywurst sausage. There
are good seasonal wines, and the bar sta can shake up a great
cocktail.QG-3, Am Zwirngraben 8-10, MS Hackescher

ROTISSERIE WEINGRN
Set inside the only pre-1900 house remaining in what
was once Berlins old town, Weingrns fresh and simple
interior is a great place to sample regional grill dishes such
as Brandenburg duck and roast Saalow herb pig. The cellar
is stocked with wines from the owners own vineyards
THE EUROPACITY
In the meantime, several block-like hotels and the John

F. Kennedy Haus oce building have opened up next to
the station, while to the north the area along the canal,
formerly Berlins border zone, is the largest construction
site in Berlin. A total 40 hectares of land between three
old harbours is being transformed into a modern
residential and business district with a new central
boulevard. Anchored by the completed headquarters
for Total, and PriceWaterhouseCoopers, electricity
network company 50 Hertz and builders Ernst Basler
und Partner and others are also busy constructing
oces, while the Kunstkubus art cube will join up with
the Hamburger Bahnhof modern art museum, across
the canal. The newest development is the opening
of a new tram line connecting Hauptbahnhof to
Hackescher Markt.
One remarkable lone survivor from the olden days is
the charming gourmet Paris-Moskau restaurant (www.
paris-moskau.de). Overlooking the station from AltMoabit street, for years the half-timbered building was
surrounded by construction. Now that the new interior
ministry building next door has been nalised, peace
has returned, a good opportunity to drop by for a bite.

LANDMARKS
BRANDENBURGER TOR
Berlins landmark monument, built by Carl Langhans
in 1792, is the last remaining of 14 city gates. Nike, the
goddess of victory, drives the four-horsepower chariot
atop the gate. German armies used to begin their parades
here, the fascists spoiled the gate by staging their torch-lit
marches through it, the war badly damaged it, and then the
Wall essentially bricked the patched-up gate in for decades.
Berliners celebrated the Walls fall in 1989 by standing on it
in front of the gate, and after renovations the gate is the
proud focus point of the renewed square again.QF-3,
Pariser Platz, Mitte, MS/U Brandenburger Tor.
NEUE SYNAGOGE
The gilded cupola of the New Synagogue is one of the most
eye-catching sights in Mitte. Exhibits strikingly balance
the restoration of the Alhambra-inspired synagogue from
1866, with preserved evidence of its destruction, rst
on Kristallnacht on November 9, 1938, and then through
Allied bombs. Documents and photographs remember the
thriving Jewish community of the neighbourhood, many of
whom worshipped here in what was the largest synagogue
in Germany. A subtle but eective sound installation adds
to the experience.QF-3, Oranienburger Strae 28-30,

NIKOLAIVIERTEL
Berlins tiny medieval heart is the Nikolai Quarter, whose only
truly medieval-looking building today is the Nikolaikirche.
The church dates to 1230 and was rebuilt along with the
entire quarter in the 1980s to mark Berlins 750th birthday
in the area in which the shermens settlement rst began.
No one was trying to outdo Walt Disney here, and many
of the buildings have the simple, concrete facades that
the GDR government could aord. The small shops in the
area mostly deal in toys and souvenirs and tourists gladly
ll the sunny tables at the restaurants that face the river.
On Rathausstrae, theres a row of restaurants that aunt
old-fashioned Berlin cuisine and atmosphere. Other rebuilt
historic buildings in the area date to the 1700s, such as the
Ephraim-Palais and Knoblauchhaus. Both have changing
exhibits related to Berlin.QG-3, Nikolaikirchplatz, Mitte,
MU Klosterstrae, www.stadtmuseum.de.
POTSDAMER PLATZ
Once a busy intersection at the modern heart of a thriving
metropolis, Potsdamer Platz was heavily damaged in the
war, and suered again when most remaining buildings
were demolished to make way for the Walls death strip.
Hotel and oce skyscrapers now add a cosmopolitan edge
to the city, while to the east Leipziger Platz is almost rebuilt.
The most popular public space and architectural attraction
is the Sony Center, with its huge atrium and tent-like
roof, best viewed at night for its impressive lighting.
The neighbouring DaimlerChrysler complex holds
architecture by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, and the
Arkaden shopping mall.QE/F-4, MS/U Potsdamer Platz.
REICHSTAG
The name together with its monumental size make most
people associate Germanys neoclassical parliamentary
building with the Nazis, but they have little history here. After
hosting parliamentary sessions since 1894, it was set on re
just one month after Hitler was appointed chancellor in
January 1933. It was a conference centre in the years during
which it abutted the Wall, while later artist Christo famously
wrapped it in cloth. It was used as parliament again after a

reunited German government returned to Berlin in 1999.
Renovated by Sir Norman Foster, this building is perhaps
the most public federal building in the world through its
glass dome. On the rooftop, photographs documenting
the buildings history circle the rim above the parliament
chamber. Two ramps spiral up the side of the dome,
an engineering feat even more fascinating than the
panoramic view from the top. Its best to book an entry
time to the dome or for the 90-minute guided tour of
the building in advance online; otherwise queue up
for remaining places at the visitor centre just across the
road. Photo ID is required.QF-3, Platz der Republik 1,

CHURCHES
BERLINER DOM
The fourth incarnation of this Protestant church dating from
1905 might not look as massive if the Stadtschloss were
still standing across Unter den Linden (the GDR regime
demolished the castle in 1951). The royal Hohenzollern
dynasty worshipped and was buried here. The climb up
to the domes rim is forgiving, with broad staircases, side
exhibit rooms and good views.QG-3, Am Lustgarten,

exhibition about the development of parliamentarian
democracy in Germany - and how it came to fail so

The northernmost domed tower in the Gendermenmarkts
grand architectural triptych dates back to 1785, and
similarly to its counterpart was badly damaged in the
war. It now has regular concerts in the simple baroque
Friedrichstadtkirche church to the rear. Enter from the
other side for the Huguenot museum (in German and
French only), dedicated to the thousands of French
protestants who moved to Berlin in the 17th century.

MEMORIALS
FHRERBUNKER
One lonely signpost mark the site where Hitler committed
suicide on April 30, 1945. For the last month of his life, Hitler
lived roughly eight meters below ground in an air-raid
shelter topped by a four-metre-thick, reinforced concrete
ceiling. The unremarkable spot can be reached by walking
to the end of In den Ministergrten, o Ebertstrae. A
parking area surrounded by a pre-fabricated apartment
complex covers the location, which was entirely sealed o
during the complexs construction in 1988-89. The bunker
was once accessed through the Festsaal (ballroom) behind

estimated to have been killed by the Nazis and this site
serves as Germanys national memorial to those victims. The

2,700 concrete stelae, or pillars, of varying height, creating

If downtown to you means wide, trac-lled streets,

crowds of shoppers, ve-star hotels and tall buildings,
then Charlottenburg comes closest to tting the bill in
Berlin. The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedchtniskirche church, left
as a ruin after the war, is the nexus of activity; between
it and Zoologischer Garten station, over a billion euros is
being invested in impressive highrises, hotels and oces.

The pleasure in this intimate, classy bistro is that of fresh,
seasonal ingredients, often from the owners home town,
Ottenthal. Daily specials might include foam of goose liver

rely on wine recommendations (the list is extensive). Wines

are available for purchase. This is truly one of our favourite

The Olympic Stadium was originally built under the

architecture, its size never fails to impress. The most

oating roof whose translucent skin oers shelter for
almost all of the 75,000 seats. On non-event days you

The ruined Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, a stark reminder of wartime destruction, is West Berlins landmark
attraction. Kept as an open wound, the severe acknowledgement of Germanys culpability is declared on a plaque:
The tower of the old church serves as a remembrance of
Gods judgement, which befell our people during the war
years.The 1895 church was once a symbol of national pride:
even synagogues contributed to its funding. Inside is a gilded mosaic of the Hohenzollern dynasty. The modern chapel
and bell tower beside it were completed in 1961, and are
worth entering on sunny days for the amazing blue stained
glass windows. Concerts take place every week, many

BERLIN IN BOOKS
Nearly 30,000 people
worked for the Stasi, East
Germanys secret service,
and the vast archives they
kept continue to oer
historians plenty of work.
Simon Menner rummaged
through the public archives
and dug up spectacular
photographs documenting
the work of monitoring.
His book has large-format
photos that show how Stasi
ocers awkwardly trained
Simon Menner & BStU
their disguise skills, martial
2013
arts, documented secret
house searches and the bedrooms of subversive
teenagers, and learnt how to shadow subjects. Most
disturbing of all are the photos of a rather camp
Stasi costume party, where pudgy, insecure-looking
ocials dress up as priests, hippies, artists and other
subversive enemies. It makes you wonder if our
secret services have similar archives that will forever
remain locked away.
Top Secret (2013, ISBN 9783775736206) by Simon
Menner is for sale for around 17 at Dussmann and
other major bookshops.

COLD WAR BERLIN

The physical division of Berlin during 28 years, and
the development of two completely separated cities
on both sides of the Wall that ran between them,
has led to huge dierences that cannot be erased in
a matter of a few years. Key sights relating to this era
are the Gedenksttte Berliner Mauer in Prenzlauer
Berg, Checkpoint Charlie in Mitte with the Haus
am Checkpoint Charlie Wall museum, BlackBox
Cold War, Wall Panorama and Stasi exhibition,
and the Trnenpalast, the former border crossing
beside Friedrichstrae station. Get insights into
daily GDR life at the DDR Museum in Mitte and the
Museumswohnung WBS 70 out in the suburbs.

Prenzlauer Berg
Prenzlauer Berg
On a low hill northeast
of Mitte, Prenzl Berg is an
old working-class district
in the former East Berlin
that came through the war
relatively unscathed. After
1989, the cool brigade
pounced on the area, and
houses that were once
home to East German
punks were renovated
in odes to pastel. The
number of wine shops and
young parents pushing
pricey prams indicates the level of gentrication here. The
best places to soak up the atmosphere are Kollwitzplatz,
Helmholzplatz and along Kastanienallee. One of Prenzlauer
Bergs best attractions is the Kulturbrauerei culture centre,
set in a 19th-century brewery complex. This chapter also
covers some places in multicultural Wedding, just to the
west.
POCKET WALK: PRENZLAUER BERG

Start walking uphill along Kollwitzstrae from U-Bahn
station Senefelder Platz. From leafy Kollwitzplatz turn
into beautiful Husemannstrae, which was already
restored in GDR times, and left into Sredzkistrae
where youll spot the Kulturbrauerei complex ahead;
enter beside the tall chimney and wander through its
courtyards to the northern exit. Cross Danziger Strae
and amble down Lychenerstrae to pretty, caf-lined
Helmholtzplatz. Follow Raumerstrae west, turn left
down Pappelallee and cross underneath the U-Bahn
station to Eberswalder Strae; youll soon reach the
popular Mauerpark and the top end of Bernauer Strae
with its excellent Wall Memorial.

Kreuzberg
Kreuzberg
Thanks to a large Turkish
community and more
hippies, anarchists and
alternative folks than
you can shake a bong at,
Kreuzberg feels neither east
nor west. It was the black
sheep of West Berlin, literally
cornered up against the
death strip and left alone
to play loud music and
draw on the walls. By now,
the protesting students
of 1968 have grown grey
alongside the Turkish immigrants. Every year since 1987,
Kreuzberg relives its 15 minutes of fame during the traditional
May Day political demonstrations, which invariably turn into
a long night of stone-throwing and burning cars. Otherwise,
Kreuzberg is a perfectly safe district to wander through, and
its all about backgammon at the mens clubs, caf-sitting
along Landwehrkanal, and ambling down the popular
Oranienstrae and Bergmannstrae drags.
This chapter also covers areas south of Kreuzberg: leafy
Treptow west along the river Spree, the Tempelhof
airport-turned-park which attracts thousands of visitors
in summer, and the upcoming Neuklln district. Here,
the Kreuzklln area around Reuterstrae is increasingly
attracting hipsters, artists, artsy boutiques and weird
nightlife spots.

POCKET WALK: KREUZBERG

Kreuzberg is best explored in two parts. From Platz der
Luftbrcke station walk west to Viktoriapark and climb the
Kreuzberg for views north over the city. Descend eastwards
and walk along genteel Bergmannstrae, perhaps
visiting a caf or the market hall, before walking south to
Columbiadamm for access to the the former Tempelhof
airport, now a wonderful park.
Start a tour of the fascinating eastern end of Kreuzberg
at Kottbusser Tor U-Bahn station; wander north through
little Istanbul to Oranienplatz and follow the park to
the Engelbecken pond where you can follow the former
Wall along Bethaniendamm to Mariannenplatz, a centre
of Berlin subculture. Stroll down Waldemarstrae to
caf-lined Lausitzerplatz and cross under the U-Bahn
line to lively Grlitzer Park. From here, go north into
Falckensteinstrae to discover more of Kreuzbergs street
art, or head south along Ohlauer Strae and across
Landwehrkanal into the trendy Kreuzklln district for
cupcakes and cocktails.

BERLINISCHE GALERIE:
BERNHARD MARTIN
After lengthy renovations, the Berlinische Galerie
reopens on 29 May with an exhibition of works
by painter Bernhard Martin (1966). This artist from
Hannover paints extravagant pictorial narratives,
often produced as a series, which do not uphold a
specic personal style but always seek visual resources
appropriate to the theme, often alluding to artists
of the past. Martin is the winner of the prestigious
2015 Fred-Thieler-Prize for Painting, and the award
ceremony coincides with the reopening of the Galerie.

Dusty pink brick, gilded mosaics, stucco work run riot - this
is the work of Great Uncle Gropius, not Walter Bauhaus

TOPOGRAPHIE DES TERRORS
Beside a souvenir-ravaged stretch of Wall, the cellars
are all that remain of the palace housing the Reich
Security (SS) Oce. The fascinating exhibition in the
trench and the adjacent pavilion and park uses models,
texts and photos to highlight the topography of the
Third Reich police, military and security groups that
were headquartered in this area, and discusses their
organisation and the terror they cast across Europe.
The most important lesson to take home is perhaps
that these organisation only managed to thrive thanks
to the continuous cooperation of many institutes
and citizens. Set aside 2-3 hours to do it justice.QF-4,

After owing a bucolic 400km from the Czech border

region to Berlin, the river Spree goes out with a bang before
disappearing into the Havel near Spandau. Cutting a curvy
passage through Berlin, it provides tremendous views of
the Dom cathedral, the Reichstag and the government
district and the Berlin Wall near Ostbahnhof. Some of the
Spree is diverted along park-lined canals, and Berlin has
more bridges than Venice or Amsterdam.
Short city centre cruise tours depart regularly from the
boat landings near the Museumsinsel, Friedrichstrae,
Hauptbahnhof station and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt
