• Brandenburg Gate - Constructed from sandstone, the Brandenburg Gate stands as one of the grandest and most exquisite examples of German classicism. Built between 1788 and 1791, it was designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans the Elder, who drew significant inspiration from the propylaea of the Athens Acropolis. King Friedrich Wilhelm II commissioned the Brandenburg Gate to serve as a majestic architectural terminus for the boulevard Unter den Linden.
• Reichstag/Bundestag (Berlin) - The Reichstag building is intertwined with pivotal moments in German history. On November 9, 1918, SPD politician Philipp Scheidemann proclaimed the Republic from its west portal balcony. The infamous “Reichstag fire” occurred on the night of February 27, 1933, completely destroying the plenary hall and dome. On April 30, 1945, two Red Army soldiers raised a Soviet Union flag over the building, symbolizing the defeat of the “Third Reich”.
• German Chancellery - The 36-meter high “administration building” towers between and above two five-story administrative wings, housing the offices of the Chancellor and his Ministers of State, the cabinet room, and conference rooms. Large glass surfaces break up the outer walls to the east (main entrance) and west, creating a sense of transparency and lightness. The two side wings, with floor plans resembling a comb, feature offices grouped around fully glazed atriums. The alternating windowless concrete walls and large glass surfaces of the long side walls give the building a compact and defiant appearance.
• Soviet War Memorial Tiergarten - In the center of the square, flanked by two “T 34” tanks, stands a bronze statue of a Red Army soldier with a rifle on his shoulder. Pillars behind the statue bear the names of fallen Soviet soldiers. The rear part of the memorial contains the graves of approximately 2500 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 underwent several redesigns, including a transformation into an English public park by renowned landscape designer Peter Joseph Lenné between 1833 and 1838.

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, showcases English landscape architecture and is one of the park’s most beautiful areas.

This crossing was used exclusively 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 - Designed by Johann Arnold Nering at the end of the 17th century, the square initially attracted French immigrants, mainly Huguenots. It was originally named Esplanade, then successively Lindenmarkt, Friedrichstädtischer Markt, and Neuer Markt, before being renamed Gendarmenmarkt in 1799, after the “Gens d’armes” guard regiment stationed 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, a masterpiece of classicist architecture, is one of Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s major works. Initially opened in 1776 as a small comedy house designed by Johann Bouman the Elder at the behest of Frederick the Great, it was renamed the Royal National Theater in 1787, marking its rise to prominence as one of the country’s leading theaters.
• Bebelplatz - Located in the heart of Berlin’s museum district, Bebelplatz offers a glimpse into the city’s beauty from nearly 300 years ago. The site is also a memorial to the Nazi book burnings that desecrated the area.

On May 10, 1933, the National Socialists burned over 20,000 books at Bebelplatz, targeting works they deemed “un-German”. These included books 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 read Heine’s works, they would have encountered his warning that where books are burned, people will eventually be burned too.

• Neue Wache - Situated next to the Zeughaus, now the German Historical Museum, the relatively small Neue Wache was built between 1816 and 1818 based on designs by Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
