    🏛️Brandenburg Gate

    June 11, 2012 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    In the evening we visited the famous Brandenburg Gate, one of Germany’s most iconic landmarks. Even from a distance the historic monument impressed us with its beautiful architecture. The gate was built in the 18th century and today stands as a symbol of freedom and unity. It was especially fascinating to stand at a place that was once directly next to the Berlin Wall. Many tourists were taking pictures and enjoying the special atmosphere around Pariser Platz. The Quadriga on top of the gate looked particularly impressive in the evening light. Around the Brandenburg Gate there was a lively atmosphere with street musicians and many visitors. It was fascinating to experience Berlin’s history so closely at this place. The illuminated buildings around the square created a wonderful evening atmosphere. Visiting the Brandenburg Gate was the perfect start to our Berlin trip.

    🏛️The Story of Berlin

    June 13, 2012 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Am dritten Tag unserer Berlin-Reise besuchten wir das Museum „The Story of Berlin“. Das Museum zeigte die spannende Geschichte Berlins von den Anfängen bis zur modernen Hauptstadt. Besonders interessant war die Ausstellung über die Zeit der Berliner Mauer und des Kalten Krieges. Viele interaktive Bereiche machten den Rundgang abwechslungsreich und spannend. Wir konnten historische Gegenstände, Fotos und originale Dokumente aus verschiedenen Epochen sehen. Ein Highlight war der originale Atomschutzbunker unter dem Museum, den wir ebenfalls besichtigten. Dort bekamen wir einen Eindruck davon, wie Menschen sich während des Kalten Krieges vorbereitet hatten. Die Mischung aus Geschichte, Technik und persönlichen Geschichten machte den Besuch sehr eindrucksvoll. Während des Rundgangs lernten wir viele neue Dinge über die Entwicklung Berlins. Das Museum war definitiv eine interessante und lehrreiche Erfahrung.
