We have spent much time exploring Berlin’s vast architectural heritage. To name a few we have visitied:The Reichstag, The Mies Van Der Rohe New National Gallery, The Berlin Wall, The Tiergarten, Karl Marx Allee, Soviet Cenotaph, Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island, Schiller Theatre, Design Museum, Tacheles, Tea Garden, Great Star Square, U Bahn, S Bahn, Schoneberg Town Hall famous for JFK speech, The Philharmonic, New Tempodroom, The Bertoldt Brecht Theatre, The Automobile Museum, Berlin Cathedral, Bodemuseum, Freidrichstrasse 166, The Victory Column, Deutsches Tecnikmuseum, Unter Den Linden, State Opera, St Nicholas Church, The Diplomatic Area, The Jewish Museum, the State Library, Holocaust Memorial, Marie Elizabeth Luders Building, Potsdammer Platz, Orianbergerstrasse District, Charlottenberg, Sony Centre, Nordic Embassies, Berlin Train Station, Hotel Adlon, and the New Synagogue.
The monument to the Belle Alliance sits atop one of the three hills in Berlin and allows for great views over Kreuzberg. There is a waterfall that runs from the monument straight down the park to the park below-cascading over rocks and eddying in pools. On the far side of the memorial is a huge development reclaiming factories and older buildings and reconstituting them as apartments.
On our journeys around the city we've found markers in the cobbled sidewalks naming jews from each community who were deported. It's a constant reminder of the frailty of humans.
