• Brandenburg Gate - Constructed from sandstone, the Brandenburg Gate stands as a grand and exquisite example of German classicism. Built between 1788 and 1791, it was designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans the Elder, who drew inspiration from the propylaea of the Athens Acropolis. King Friedrich Wilhelm II commissioned the gate to serve as a majestic architectural conclusion for the boulevard Unter den Linden.
• Reichstag/Bundestag (Berlin) - The Reichstag building is linked to pivotal moments in German history. On November 9, 1918, SPD politician Philipp Scheidemann proclaimed the Republic from its west portal balcony. The “Reichstag fire” on February 27, 1933, led to the destruction of the plenary hall and dome. A Soviet Union flag, raised on April 30, 1945, by two Red Army soldiers, symbolized victory over the “Third Reich.”
• German Chancellery - The 36-meter high “administration building” stands prominently between and above two five-story wings, housing the Chancellor’s and Ministers of State’s offices, the cabinet room, and conference rooms. Large glass surfaces break up the outer walls to the east and west, creating a sense of transparency and lightness. The side wings, with their comb-like floor plans, feature offices grouped around fully glazed atriums, presenting a compact and resilient appearance.
• Soviet War Memorial Tiergarten - Flanked by two “T 34” tanks, a bronze statue of a Red Army soldier with a rifle on his shoulder stands in the square’s center. Behind it, pillars display the names of fallen Soviet soldiers. The memorial’s rear section contains the graves of approximately 2,500 soldiers.
• Tiergarten - History of the park
  In the late 17th century, Elector Friedrich III transformed a former hunting ground into a “pleasure park for the population.” Over time, the park was redesigned several times, including a transformation by landscape designer Peter Joseph Lenné between 1833 and 1838 into an English public park.

Sights in the Tiergarten
The approximately 200-hectare park is not only defined by its trees, shrubs, and green spaces but also by numerous attractions such as monuments, memorials, bridges, the Victory Column, the Federal President’s Office, the House of World Cultures, and the English Garden. The English garden, created around a pond, offers insight into English landscape architecture and is one of the park’s most beautiful areas.

• Potsdamer Platz - Planned as a complete district by architects, Potsdamer Platz is a bustling area with cafes, cinemas, and shops nestled among futuristic high-rise buildings, attracting both Berliners and tourists. The city planners’ vision succeeded, as the cafes, cinemas, and shopping arcade of the new Daimler City are well-received. A new district emerged on 6.8 hectares between Potsdamer Platz and Reichpietschufer.
• Topography of Terror - Known as the “Topography of Terror” since 1987, this area was central to planning and executing many Nazi crimes. From 1933 to 1945, it housed key institutions of the National Socialist terror apparatus, including the Secret State Police Office, the Reichsführung SS, and the Reich Security Main Office.
• Gropius Bau - The Martin-Gropius-Bau is dedicated to cultural history, contemporary art, and photography.
• Memorial of the Berlin Wall - Wall
• Checkpoint Charlie - The former military checkpoint Checkpoint Charlie was the most renowned border crossing among the three American-controlled points during Berlin’s division, alongside the Glienicke Bridge. The other checkpoints were Helmstedt-Marienborn (Checkpoint Alpha) and Dreilinden-Drewitz (Checkpoint Bravo). This crossing was exclusively for foreigners, employees of the Permanent Representation of the FRG in the GDR, and GDR officials.
• Friedrichstrasse - Running through Berlin as a north-south axis, Friedrichstrasse became a popular shopping destination between Checkpoint Charlie and Friedrichstrasse station after the fall of the wall.
• Gendarmenmarkt - Created at the end of the 17th century based on Johann Arnold Nering’s plans, the square initially hosted French immigrants, mainly French Protestants (Huguenots). It was first called Esplanade, then Lindenmarkt, Friedrichstädtischer Markt, and Neuer Markt, before being renamed Gendarmenmarkt in 1799, as the “Gens d’armes” regiment’s guard and stables were located there from 1736 to 1782.
• Deutscher Dom - The permanent exhibition “Ways - wrong trails - detours” in the German Cathedral explores the historical development of liberal parliamentary democracy in Germany across five floors.
• Konzerthaus - The Konzerthaus am Gendarmenmarkt is a classicist architectural masterpiece and one of Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s main works.

In 1776, at Frederick the Great’s behest, a small comedy house was opened here, designed by Prussian construction director Johann Bouman the Elder. Renamed the Royal National Theater in 1787, it rose to become one of the country’s leading theaters.

• Bebelplatz - Situated in Berlin’s museum center, Bebelplatz offers a glimpse into the city’s beauty from nearly 300 years ago. The Nazis desecrated the site by burning books, now commemorated as a memorial.

On May 10, 1933, the National Socialists burned over 20,000 books at Bebelplatz, deeming them “non-German spirit.” These included works by Erich Kästner, the Mann family, Magnus Hirschfeld, Lion Feuchtwanger, Karl Marx, Else Lasker-Schüler, and nearly 400 other authors. Heinrich Heine’s books were also burned. Had they been read, one would have encountered Heine’s remark that where books are burned, people are also burned.

• Museum Island - Located on the north side of the Spreeinsel in central Berlin, Museum Island is one of Europe’s most remarkable museum complexes. Over 100 years, an ensemble was created in 1930 involving five architects. The museum district, added to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 1999, has been gradually restored and expanded with a new reception building since the late 1990s.

• Berliner Dom - With its prominent dome, the imposing Berlin Cathedral in central Berlin is unmistakable. As the former court and cathedral church of the Hohenzollerns, it was rebuilt between 1894 and 1905 under Emperor Wilhelm II.

• Berlin Alexanderplatz Bahnhof - Known as Alex, Alexanderplatz is a central square and transportation hub in Berlin. It is one of the city’s most visited and renowned attractions.

• Nicholas Quarter - The Nikolaiviertel on the Spreeinsel serves as an open-air museum of old Berlin. It was recreated for Berlin’s 750th anniversary in 1987.

• Neptunbrunnen - The Neptune Fountain in front of the Red City Hall is affectionately called “Forckenbecken” by Berliners. This name is fitting, as the then-mayor was Forckenbeck, and Neptune stands in a basin with his trident. The four female figures at his feet symbolize the rivers Elbe, Rhine, Oder, and Vistula.

• East Side Gallery - The East Side Gallery is a 1.3-kilometer painted section of the former Berlin Wall along the Spree. With over a hundred original wall paintings, it is the world’s longest open-air gallery.

• Bergmannstraße - Between Gneisenaustrasse, Mehringdamm, Südstern, and Fidicinstrasse lies a well-preserved area of old buildings in what was once Kreuzberg SW 61. Along Bergmannstraße and its side streets, one can experience Kreuzberg’s diversity and lifestyle—more relaxed than the lively SO 36, away from the club scene, yet multicultural and vibrant.

• Landwehrkanal - Flowing through the districts of Treptow, Kreuzberg, Neukölln, Tiergarten, and Charlottenburg, the Landwehrkanal is a vital inner-city canal in Berlin. As the city’s first artificial waterway, it has been part of the landscape since the 19th century. With growing industrialization, the need for transport increased, and road and rail were insufficient. In 1841, city planner and master gardener Peter Joseph Lenné was tasked by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV to design a new transport canal near the urban area. Construction of the 10.74 km canal began in 1845 and was completed in 1850. It soon became essential for transporting building materials during Berlin’s rapid development in the Gründerzeit.

• Admiralbrucke - A popular summer meeting spot
  During Berlin’s long, warm summer evenings, the old bridge with cobblestone streets and gas lanterns becomes a favorite gathering place for Berliners and tourists. The Admiralbrücke offers a romantic city escape, attracting many during summer months. As the sun sets, fragments of English, Spanish, and Italian words fill the air, and small groups enjoy the cozy atmosphere on the Admiralsbrücke. Many sit on the bollards and paving stones to chat, drink, make music, and admire the sunset over the Landwehr Canal. After local residents raised concerns about nighttime noise, the bridge is peacefully cleared every evening at 10 p.m. with police support.

• Oranienstraße - The street’s lively atmosphere is dominated by gastronomy and nightlife. It features 100 small shops, bars, and restaurants with international flair, as well as the SO 36, inviting visitors to explore.

• U Görlitzer Bahnhof - Görlitzer Park in Kreuzberg serves as the district’s central recreational area. Created in the early 1990s on the former Görlitz train station site, it now boasts expansive lawns, sports fields, playgrounds, and a popular children’s farm near Glogauer Straße. The district’s indoor swimming pool, the Spreewaldbad, is located on Wiener Strasse.
  Prehistory of Görlitzer Park
  The Görlitz train station was built in 1865 on the 14-hectare site, formerly Köpenicker Feld, between the Emmaus Church and the Landwehr Canal. Sand was deposited on the farmland, rails were laid, and buildings were constructed to facilitate the transport of people and goods. The large terminal station was inaugurated by the Prussian king in 1866 with the first troop transports.

• Tempelhofer Park - The former Tempelhof Airport, with its vast check-in hall and over 300-hectare airfield, opened to the public in May 2010 after ceasing flight operations. As “Tempelhofer Feld,” the site is being carefully transformed into a versatile park with citizen participation.
  Development of Tempelhof Park
  Following a successful referendum in May 2014, the Tempelhof Field Law (ThFG) was enacted in June 2014. It proposes that a development and care plan be created with public involvement for the future use and development of Tempelhofer Feld’s open space.

• Park am Gleisdreieck - Park am Gleisdreieck in Kreuzberg is a park with urban flair.

The capital boasts numerous small and large local recreation areas, especially in inner-city districts. A healthy mix of buildings and open spaces is essential for the future. The newly created park at the Gleisdreieck in Kreuzberg exemplifies this urban planning concept. The railway area around the Gleisdreieck traffic junction lay dormant after World War II, allowing diverse vegetation to flourish unnoticed. Due to this unexpected retreat for flora and fauna and the dense development of adjacent quarters, a group of citizens advocated for the area’s permanent greening and ultimately succeeded.
