• 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 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 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 the alternating windowless concrete walls and glass surfaces give a compact and resilient appearance.
• Soviet War Memorial Tiergarten - A bronze statue of a Red Army soldier with a rifle on his shoulder is flanked by two “T 34” tanks in the square. Behind the statue, pillars display the names of fallen Soviet soldiers, and 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, the park was redesigned, notably between 1833 and 1838 by landscape designer Peter Joseph Lenné, who converted it 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, with its pond, offers a glimpse into English landscape architecture and is one of the park’s most beautiful areas.

• Potsdamer Platz - Designed as a complete district by architects, Potsdamer Platz is a vibrant area with cafes, cinemas, and shops nestled among futuristic high-rises, 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 site 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 of the three American-controlled border crossings during Berlin’s division, alongside the Glienicke Bridge. The other checkpoints were Helmstedt-Marienborn (Checkpoint Alpha) and Dreilinden-Drewitz (Checkpoint Bravo). This crossing was used by 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 by Johann Arnold Nering, 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 major 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 prominence as one of the country’s leading theaters.
• Bebelplatz - Situated in Berlin’s museum center, Bebelplatz reflects the city’s beauty from nearly 300 years ago. The Nazis desecrated the site 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. Had they read Heine’s books, they would have encountered his remark that where books are burned, people are also burned.

• Neue Wache - The modest Neue Wache, adjacent to the Zeughaus, now home to the German Historical Museum, was built between 1816 and 1818 based on Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s designs. Since 1993, it has served as the central memorial of the Federal Republic of Germany for victims of war and tyranny.

• Museum Island - Located in the heart of Berlin, Museum Island is one of Europe’s most remarkable museum complexes 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 both Berliners and tourists.

• Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin - Centrum Judaicum - The remnants of the New Synagogue on Oranienburger Strasse shine even brighter today. It was once Germany’s largest and most significant synagogue.

• Nicholas Quarter - As Berlin’s first and oldest residential area, the Nikolaiviertel offers old-town charm with historic houses, restaurants, and coffee shops, 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.
