• 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 provide a fitting architectural conclusion to 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 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 between high concrete pillars create a sense of transparency and lightness. The side wings, with comb-like floor plans, feature offices around fully glazed atriums, and alternating windowless concrete walls and large glass surfaces.
• Soviet War Memorial Tiergarten - A bronze statue of a Red Army soldier with a rifle on his shoulder stands in the square, flanked by two “T 34” tanks. Behind it, pillars display the names of fallen Soviet soldiers. The memorial’s rear 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, it was redesigned, notably by landscape designer Peter Joseph Lenné between 1833 and 1838, into an English public park.

Sights in the Tiergarten
The 200-hectare park features not only trees and green spaces but also monuments, memorials, bridges, the Victory Column, the Federal President’s Office, the House of World Cultures, and the English Garden. The English Garden, with its pond, showcases English landscape architecture and is a beautiful corner of the park.

• Potsdamer Platz - Planned as a district by architects, Potsdamer Platz is a vibrant area with cafes, cinemas, and shops among futuristic high-rises, popular with both Berliners and tourists. The new Daimler City, spanning 6.8 hectares between Potsdamer Platz and Reichpietschufer, has been well-received.
• Topography of Terror - Known as the “Topography of Terror” since 1987, this area was central to planning and executing 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 focuses on cultural history, contemporary art, and photography.
• Memorial of the Berlin Wall - Wall
• Checkpoint Charlie - The former military checkpoint, Checkpoint Charlie, was the most famous of the three American-controlled border crossings during Berlin’s division. The others were Helmstedt-Marienborn (Checkpoint Alpha) and Dreilinden-Drewitz (Checkpoint Bravo). It was used by foreigners, FRG Permanent Representation employees in the GDR, and GDR officials.
• Friedrichstrasse - Running north-south through Berlin, Friedrichstrasse became a popular shopping area between Checkpoint Charlie and Friedrichstrasse station after the wall fell.
• Gendarmenmarkt - Created in the late 17th century by Johann Arnold Nering, the square was initially settled by French immigrants, mainly Huguenots. It was renamed Gendarmenmarkt in 1799, after housing the “Gens d’armes” regiment’s guard and stables from 1736 to 1782.
• Deutscher Dom - The German Cathedral’s permanent exhibition “Ways - wrong trails - detours” explores the historical development of liberal parliamentary democracy in Germany across five floors.
• Konzerthaus - The Konzerthaus am Gendarmenmarkt, a classicist architectural masterpiece, is one of Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s key works. In 1776, Frederick the Great initiated the opening of a small comedy house here, designed by Prussian construction director Johann Bouman the Elder. Renamed the Royal National Theater in 1787, it rose to prominence as a leading theater.
• Bebelplatz - Situated in Berlin’s museum center, Bebelplatz reflects the city’s beauty from nearly 300 years ago. The Nazis desecrated it by burning books, now commemorated by a memorial.

On May 10, 1933, the National Socialists burned over 20,000 books at Bebelplatz, deeming them “non-German spirit.” Works by Erich Kästner, the Mann family, Magnus Hirschfeld, Lion Feuchtwanger, Karl Marx, Else Lasker-Schüler, and nearly 400 other authors, including Heinrich Heine, were destroyed. Heine’s remark that where books are burned, people are also burned, was prophetic.

• Neue Wache - The modest Neue Wache, adjacent to the Zeughaus, now the German Historical Museum, was built between 1816 and 1818 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Since 1993, it has served as the central memorial of the Federal Republic of Germany for war and tyranny victims.
• Museum Island - Located in central Berlin, Museum Island is a premier museum complex in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Berliner Dom - With its distinctive design, the Berlin Cathedral is a must-see for church enthusiasts and city visitors.
• Lustgarten - Once part of the Berlin City Palace, the Lustgarten on Museum Island is now a popular spot for Berliners and tourists.
• Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin - Centrum Judaicum - The New Synagogue on Oranienburger Strasse, once Germany’s largest and most important synagogue, shines even brighter today.
• Nicholas Quarter - Berlin’s first and oldest residential area, the Nikolaiviertel, offers old town charm with historic houses, restaurants, and cafes, alongside the Nikolaikirche.
• Berlin Alexanderplatz Bahnhof - Whether in the 1920s, during GDR times, or today, the renowned Alexanderplatz remains one of Berlin’s most vibrant locations.
• East Side Gallery - The East Side Gallery, a remnant of the Berlin Wall, has been transformed by artists into the world’s longest open-air gallery.
