WELCOMETOBERLIN!
"Berlin
is never really Berlin; Berlin is always just becoming."
This phrase has been in use for a few centuries in Germany
but there never was more truth to it than these days.
After the former largest construction site in Europe,
the Potsdamer Platz, has become a bustling center of
the new Berlin and the first difficulties of a once
divided and now reunified city were overcome, Berlin
today presents itself to the visitor as one of the most
dynamic cities on the continent. Berlin is in motion,
and although it is currently undergoing a financial
crisis due to past mismanagement and a conflict of interests
concerning some construction projects are slowing
the enthusiasm to some extent, the rapidity of change
is hardly stalled.
Berlin, that is several centuries of Prussian and German
history, the Golden Twenties, that is depression, the
rise of the Nazis, that's war destruction, the Berlin
air lift and the wall as well as the fall of the wall
or the love parade. This multi-faceted German capital
that Berlin is today attracts countless visitors every
year who enjoy the dynamic mix of a 3,4 million inhabitants'
metropolis and the many idyllic nature spots surrounding
it: for the most part lakes like the Wannsee or the
Müggelsee, but also forests and rural farmland.
