1. Once a symbol of triumph, the Brandenburg Gate also became a site of Nazi parades and propaganda during the Third Reich. Today, it stands as a monument to peace and unity, reflecting the changing tides of history.

   20 Min.

2. This memorial commemorates the Sinti and Roma victims of the Nazi regime, located in the Tiergarten near the Reichstag. The circular pool with a central triangle (reflecting the badges Sinti and Roma were forced to wear) is a poignant reminder of the atrocities faced by these communities.

   15 Min.

3. The Soviet Memorial in Treptower Park honors the Soviet soldiers who fell during the Battle of Berlin in World War II. Its grand statues and solemn atmosphere serve as a powerful reminder of the war's devastating effects and the role of the Soviet Union in Berlin's history.

4. The Reichstag, with its transparent dome, symbolizes German transparency and democracy but also bears the scars of the Third Reich era when it was largely unused after the 1933 fire. Tours of the building provide insights into Germany's parliamentary history and its resilience.

   10 Min.

About Berlin

Berlin, Deutschlands kreative, weltoffene Hauptstadt: Zeugnisse einer bewegten Geschichte zwischen Kunst, Parks und legendärem Nachtleben.

Das Brandenburger Tor ist das Symbol der Stadt, nahe dem glaskuppelgekrönten Reichstag und dem Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas. Reste der Berliner Mauer sind erhalten, am eindrucksvollsten in der East Side Gallery, einem langen, mit Wandbildern bedeckten Abschnitt, und an der Gedenkstätte Bernauer Straße, während der Checkpoint Charlie den berühmtesten ehemaligen Grenzübergang markiert.
