Berlin
is the capital of Germany and a very visited city. She attracts
particularly "clubbers" due to her huge evenings in night club. But we
don't forget that most of the tourists who come to visit Berlin, come
to visit her old monuments which crossed through the war.
Présentation of monuments:
Reichstag. Italian Renaissance style building gets a dome at its top, 75m high. The building was renovated between 1961 and 1973, but not the dome.
Memorial to 96 deputies of Left and Center political side eliminated by Nazis in 1933.
Checkpoint Charlie. After the third Reich was fallen in 1945, Germany became an occupied country and cut in two part: the East part under Soviet control became GDR, whereas the West part under britanique, French and American control became FRG. There were three control points: Alpha, Bravo and Charlie. Checkpoint Charlie separated Berlin West of Berlin East.
Berlin Wall. It was created in Berlin during the night from 12 to 13 August 1961. The wall separates West Berlin to East Berlin. It is the symbol of the cold war and the partition of Germany during more than 30 years. It was set up to stop the exodus of the population from East Germany to West Germany, because GDR underwent an economic and social crises because of the population who left the east lands.
Berliner Dom. The emperor Guillaume II wanted for the Lutheran church a cathedral deserving of the greatness of the imperial capital. The cathedral is 114 metres long, 73 metres wide and 85 metres high. It was build between 1894 and 1905. The style of the building is high Italian Renaissance.
Brandebourg door. It
is situated in the West entry of old Berlin and is a symbol of the
city. The statue above the door represents four horses which drag the
quadriga (chariot) of the goddess of victory. This statue was realized
with copper. In 1806, Napoleon wants to bring it in Paris but he loses
the power and the statue returns to Berlin where the quadriga is
decorated with a new symbol of power: the Prussian eagle.
Brandenburg
door is represented on German's coins of 10, 20 and 50 cents like a
symbol of the unity because it is at this door where the wall of Berlin
was opened for the first time, the 22sd of September in 1989.
