Foreword
Transport
Although the foreign press likes to go gaga over Germanys

traditional Christmas Markets, usually held between late
November and Christmas Eve, its the locals that make the
more than 60 markets across Berlin come to life. Theres
a huge variety; crass commercial ones near the main
malls, more subtle and upmarket ones near the tourist
attractions, and lovely local markets in the suburbs. See our
feature on p.9.
If youre here in the new year, make use of frigid, quiet
January to take in the exhibitions currently on show in
Berlin; perhaps the one about West Berlin at the Ephraim
Palais, or the new one about the RAFs terrorist attacks in
the 1970s at the Deutsches Historisches Museum.
Finally, winter is a great time for concerts in Berlin. The
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra has a full programme of
concerts in December and January, the Deutsche Oper is
making the most of the renovation of its main building to
oer an unusual programme in temporary spaces, and the
citys clubs are packed with exciting bands. See our events
listings from p.14 for more details.
Whatever you do this winter, wrap up warm and let us know
your tips and comments at [email protected].
Enjoy Berlin.

preparing a new round of expansion
for 2015. New cities due to be pocketed
include Rotterdam in the Netherlands,
while some old favourites, such as
Budapest in Hungary and the Russian
exclave of Kaliningrad will be getting a
reboot. And there is a brand new digital
platform to look forward to.

Although Berlin is lodged in the middle of the great

empty vastness of northeast Germany, its very well
connected to the rest of civilisation by bus, train, Autobahn
and air. Once in Berlin, youll wish that your home town had
such good public transport.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Berlins integrated network of U-Bahn (Untergrundbahn,
underground trains), bus, and Straenbahn (trams) run
by BVG and S-Bahn and RE (Schnellbahn and regional
commuter trains run by DB) usually works like a dream. Just
remember the number or colour and end station of the line
you want to use, and youll be navigating the labyrinth-like
stations like a local.
Most S/U-Bahn trains, buses and trams run every 5-15 minutes
during the day. M buses and trams run every half hour at
night; U-Bahn trains run every 15 minutes on weekend nights,
with N buses following their routes every half hour (starting
from Hackescher Markt) on weekday nights.
Tickets can be used on all BVG, S-Bahn and local RE train
services. Vending machines have instructions in English
and accept coins, often bank notes and cards too. Berlins
AB travel zone contains nearly everything; youll only need
an ABC-ticket for Potsdam and Schoenefeld airport.
With an Einzelfahrschein ticket (AB-zone 2,70, ABC
3,30) you can travel one-way for up to two hours with
unlimited transfers; its cheaper to buy four tickets at once
(Vier-Fahrten-Karte, 9). Buy a 1,60 Kurzstrecke (short
distance) ticket if you want to travel up to three S/U-Bahn
stops, or up to six stops by bus or tram. If you anticipate
a lot of travelling, get the Tageskarte (day ticket, valid
until 03:00 the next morning; 6,90) or the seven-day
pass (29,50). Groups of up to ve people are best o
with a Kleingruppenkarte (group day ticket, 16,90). The
multi-day Berlin Welcomecard (18,50-38,50) is valid for
transport and some attractions.
Before boarding the S- or U-Bahn, always validate your
ticket by punching it in the yellow or red machines near
the end of the platforms. On buses and trams, the machines
are on board. Public transport uses the honour system, and
there are regular checks by uniformed and plainclothes
inspectors. If you are caught without a valid ticket youll
be ned 40 on the spot.
BVG
The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe run the U-Bahn, buses and
trams. Their handy trip planner can be found at www.
fahrinfo-berlin.de.Qtel. +49 30 194 49, [email protected],
www.bvg.de.
TAXIS
Berlins friendly and ubiquitous beige Mercedes taxis can be
called or hailed on the street. They can also be found queing
at S/U-Bahn stations and near nightlife hotspots. Not all taxis
accept credit cards, ask when you book. Prices are the same
day and night; agfall plus the rst kilometre is 3,40; then up
to 7km its 1,79/km, thereafter 1,28/km. Waiting costs 25/
hr. For short hops hail a taxi already driving in the direction
you need to go and immediately ask for the Kurzfahrstrecke
tarri; 4 for 2km. By the way, Funk means radio.

CYCLING
As long as its dry, getting around Berlin is really best done
by bicycle. Its a at city, there are plenty of cycle paths and
wide bus lanes for you to use and you see so much more
from the saddle than from the U-Bahn train window. Note
that cycling on the pavement is illegal and may get you
ned, even though everyone does it. Cycling across town
may take a while, though for 1,60 you can take your bike
on an S/U-Bahn train too. There are dozens of bike rental
places, most charging 10-12 per day. The urban bike
trip planner www.bbbike.de can suggest low-trac and
cobblestone-free routes across Berlin.
CITY CARDS
Discounts are a welcome relief, so if you are planning
to travel around town a lot and see more than one
museum, get a reduced rate card. Note that students
and youths may get better reductions at museums
using their student ID cards.
BERLIN WELCOMECARD
The Berlin WelcomeCard is a combined transport and
reduction card (museums, bike tours/rental, boat tours,
etc) valid for zone AB or zone ABC (which includes
Potsdam and Schnefeld airport). Cards are valid for 48
hours (AB 18,50, ABC 20,50), 72 hours (25,50/27,50)
or 5 days (32,50/37,50). Theres also a 72-hour variety
(38,50/40,50) that includes free admission to the ve
Museumsinsel museums. Cards are sold online and from
BVG ticket machines, tourist oces, S-Bahn oces, hotels
and kiosks. The similar CityTourCard (www.citytourcard.
com) is a little cheaper, with restaurant, bar and club
discounts geared towards younger travellers: 48 hours
(AB 16,90, ABC 18,90), 72 hours (23,90/25,90) or
5 days (30,90/35,90).Qwww.berlin-welcomecard.de.
MUSEUM PASS BERLIN
50 museums, including the permanent collections of
the Staatliche Museen (state museums), can be visited
with the Berlin Museum Pass (24/12, valid three days).
Its for sale at the museums, tourism oces and online.

Berlin is without a doubt the German capital of sports - the

city has no less than six professional sports teams, playing
ve exciting spectator sports: Hertha BSC and FC Union
play football, the Eisbren is an ace ice hockey team, Alba is
Berlins renowned basketball club, the Fchse play handball,
and volleyball is taken care of by the BR Volleys. Their
home matches attract huge numbers of visitors to Berlins
stadiums; last season alone 2,4 million tickets were sold
for their events. In addition to this, Berlins streets regularly
host huge sports events such as the public viewing festivals
during major sports events abroad, and the city also hosts
countless amateur sports matches.
Despite being rivals, Berlins six professional sports
collaborate to improve the circumstances for professional
ALBA BERLIN (BASKETBALL)

Also known as the Albatrosse,
Berlins basketball club is
Germanys most successful, and
has the largest fanbase; home
matches easily attract 10,000
spectators. The current teams
average height is an impressive
1,98m. Since going pro in 1991,
Alba has won the German League 8 times and the
German Cup 7 times (including 2013), and was also
the rst German team to win an international title with
the 1995 Korac Cup.
Alba slam-dunk their way to victory at their home O2
World stadium on the following dates:
6 Dec, 18:30: Artland Dragons

sports in Berlin, promoting Berlins image as an international

sports event destination.
The home matches of Berlins pro teams are easy to visit:
you dont need to understand German to be able to follow
a match and unlike in other European countries, sports
matches in Germany are quite peaceful events, meaning
its no problem to bring the whole family to the stadium
for an afternoon or evening of fun. Finding out about
which matches are playing where can be problematic for
visitors however as the club websites are not all available
in English, and some make it dicult to nd the upcoming
playing dates. In the club details here we have listed all
home matches for the following months, though always
keep an eye on the club websites for changes or additional
matches. Berlins ocial English-language sports website
www.berlin-sportmetropole.de has information about all
the teams, venues and tickets; ticket booking site www.
eventimsports.de sells tickets for all matches.
Local football team Hertha BSC recently faced German
juggernauts Bayern Munchen at Berlins sold-out 76,000seat Olympiastadion, and is set to face the daunting team
of Borussia Dortmund on 13 December - the demand for
tickets for these matches of the year is so great that an extra
stand with two tiers of seats was temporarily added to the
stadium. But Berliners need to admit that their team is not
quite in the same league as Bayern and Borussia - though
there are plenty of other matches this season where some
points can be scored.
Enjoy cheering for Berlin!
BR VOLLEYS (VOLLEYBALL)
Berlins professional volleyball team originates in the

western district of Charlottenburg, but plays home
matches at the Max-Schmeling-Halle in Prenzlauer

EISBREN BERLIN (ICE HOCKEY)

Originating in 1953 in East Germanys Dynamo sports club, the
polar bears is Berlins popular
professional ice hockey team.
They have won the national
Deutsche Eishockey Liga 7 times,
more than any other team, most
recently in 2013 under Canadian
coach Je Tomlinson. They also bagged the European
Trophy in 2010; unfortunately they were not as lucky in
the 2013/2014 season. But their home matches at the
O2 Stadium are true family fests, with plenty of young
fans packing the seats, and a festive, good-humoured
atmosphere.

FC UNION BERLIN (FOOTBALL)

FC Union is the working mans football
team for Berlin, originating in East Berlin
in 1966 and a feared
counterpart for the GDRs state-inuenced Dynamo
club. Union is still ercely independent, based in their
charming An der Alten Frsterei stadium. The club has
resisted all commercialism, with a club anthem sung
by punkrock legend Nina Hagen, and a stadium
uniquely partly owned by passionate fans. Nicknamed
Eisern Union (iron union), it had a tough time in the
1990s, but has had more success in the national competitions since the early 2000s.
Berlins main football team plays home matches at

the impressive Olympiastadion, Germanys second
largest stadium which was built for the 1936
Olympic Games and renovated for the 2006 World
Cup. Hertha competes in the national Bundesliga
and internationally in the UEFA Cup and Uefa
Championships League. Hertha dates back to 1892 and
is know as the Alte Dame, the old dame, witnessing its
glory years between 1926 and 1931 when it reached
the German Championship nals 6 times, winning it
twice. Nowadays Herthas fortunes are mixed, but the
fan base remains loyal.

CRIME & SAFETY

Berlin is a relatively calm and safe place. Instances of petty
crimes are low compared to other Western European capitals, though you shoulds still always keep an eye on your
valuables and never leave bags, wallets and mobile phones
unattended. Just like anywhere else, be careful when walking in unlit streets late at night. Race-related hassles seldom
occur in Berlins touristed central areas.
ELECTRICITY
Electrical current in Germany is 220v AC, 50 Hz via standard European round, two-pin sockets. Converters can be
bought at the airport and large electronics shops, and
many hotels will have them at the front desk too.
ERASMUS STUDENT
NETWORK
How do international students get to meet locals
and the city during an academic exchange? The
best way to do it is via the Erasmus Student Network
(ESN), one of the biggest interdisciplinary student
associations in Europe. It was developed to help
internationals during their stay abroad. ESN is present
in more than 430 Higher Education Institutions in 36
countries. The closest section to Berlin is the section
in Potsdam, where more than 20 volunteers care for
you. For information, see potsdam.esngermany.org or
www.facebook.com/esn.lei.potsdam.

MONEY
Germany uses the euro (). Banknotes come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500. Coins,
whose design depends on in which country they were
minted, come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50
cents and 1 and 2. Credit and debit card payment is
possible in a wide range of shops, restaurants and nightlife
venues, though always have cash on you for small payments
just in case. This guide indicates which places do not accept
plastic. ATMs can be found everywhere; those that charge
for transactions clearly indicate the fee during the process.
Exchange oces can be found at the major train stations.
VISAS AND ENTRY

FORMALITIES
EU citizens can stay in Germany as long as they like, though
registration at a Brgeramt oce is ocially required for stays
more than a few months. Citizens of Australia, Canada, Hong
Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Mexico USA and a few
others can enter Germany without a visa for a maximum of 90
days in any six month period. All other nationals need to apply
for a German visa in advance. Note that theres no passport
control between Germany and the other 14 European Schengen countries, and visas to any of these are valid for travel in
Germany too. All visitors need a passport that is valid for at
least fourth months from the date of arrival; EU citizens can
enter with a valid EU identity card too. Check the MFA website
for the latest immigration details: www.auswaertiges-amt.de.

Rainfall (mm)
Germans like their beer, drinking about 107 litres per capita
per year (down from 136 litres 15 years ago). Unfortunately
Berlins local brew, the slightly sour Berliner Weie, is only really palatable mit Schuss, with a shot of sweet fruit sirup. Cocktails and long drinks of varying quality and price are available
in a multitude of places. Non-alcoholic drinks often sipped
in Berlin include Apfelschorle, a refreshing mix of apple juice
and sparkling water, and Club-Mate (kloob mah-tea) ice tea,
made with extract of the South American mat plant, caeine
and tannins, and is popular with local hipsters as it comes in
a screw top bottle so you can hiply tote it around (or drink to
just below the top label and top it up with wodka).

Berlins many outdoor Christmas markets (Weihnachtsmrkte) bustle with both tourists and locals. Theres music, food,
drinks and great gift shopping, as the markets oer mainly
handicrafts and decorations such as the popular wooden
trinkets from the Erzgebirge mountains. Then there are also
huge fruitcakes (Stllen) and nutcrackers (Nussknacker),
scarves, hats, and gloves of richly coloured felt. Wrap up
warm and stay tanked up on the Glhwein, hot mulled red
wine, sold at all markets in souvenir mugs.

Germans make Christmas a far less commercial holiday than
some other nationalities, and instead whip themselves into a

Staatsoper Unter den Linden (www.staatsoper-berlin.de)
presents Mozarts Magic Flute as their Christmas show.

THEATRE, MUSIC & DANCE

Berlin has dozens of venues for performances. Theres lots
of great theatre, but most of it is German-language; its getting better, with English plays or surtitles in some theatres.
Berlin is the world capital of contemporary dance; look for
shows by Sasha Waltz, perhaps the best choreographer
around. The Staatsballett Berlin is the main classic
dance company. Tanzraumberlin magazine (www.
tanzraumberlin.de), available at the venues, lists all dance
events.

Haus der Geschichte Baden-Wrttemberg, Stuttgart
The new RAF - Terrorist Violence exhibition at the

Deutsches Historisches Museum, until 8 March, discusses
the actions and attacks of the Red Army Faction and
focuses on the way citizens and politicians dealt with
their terrorist violence which killed 34 people. Special
attention is given to the radicalisation of the student
protest movement in West-Berlin from 1967 to 1970,
although the attacks primarily took place in southwest
Germany. The exhibition also broadly asks how terrorist
violence be combated without jeopardising the
democratic state, a question that is still relevant today.
Exhibition tours in English take place on Fridays at 15:00.

Moshe Gershuni No Father No Mother
Moshe Gershuni (Tel Aviv, 1936) is one of the most
important Israeli artists. His existential work - an ongoing
project over more than forty years - is uncompromising,
and his paintings, drawings and sculptures leave plenty
of room for associations. Gershuni works horizontally.
WEST:BERLIN EXHIBITION
To anyone who realises how crazy Berlins history
is, its not surprising at all that the new West:Berlin
exhibition is located in an elegant palace in the former
East Berlin that itself was dismantled and stored in
West Berlin for many years. For half a century, West
Berlin was a heavily politicised and highly subsidised
Island of Freedom marooned inside the GDR, and
500 exhibits show the development of this half of the
city, from post-war ruins via its function as a showcase
of the western Allies, and from the years of decline
after the fall of the Wall in 1989 to its current revival.
Photographs, art, objects, cars and an audio-salon with
the sounds of the half-city demonstrate why West for
many is still best.
WEST:BERLIN, until 28 June. Open Tue-Sun 10:00

Mitte
Mitte
Between Mitte and Charlottenburg, the huge Tiergarten
park began as the Great Electors hunting grounds in the
1600s. Trac passes through it, doing a dosey-doe around
the Siegessule victory column. The Strae des 17. Juni
leads east to the Brandenburger Tor; just south of it are the
state museums of the Kulturforum and the Potsdamer Platz
district with its soaring corporate buildings.
GETTING THERE
Arrivals by plane and train usually end up at Hauptbahnhof
station, central for the city but not really close to anything.
S-Bahn trains from the top level link to the east and west
of the city, while the fancy new two-stop U55 U-Bahn line
takes sightseers straight to Brandenburger Tor.
POCKET WALK
Start o at Brandenburger Tor and the Reichstag before
heading south past the Holocaust memorial and Potsdamer
Platz to the Topographie des Terrors exhibition and the
adjacent stretch of Berlin Wall. Follow Zimmerstrae for
the Stasi Exhibition and Checkpoint Charlie. Walk north
along Friedrichstrae and turn right at Mohrenstrae for
Gendarmenmarkt square, before ambling to Unter den
Linden via Bebelplatz. Walk east past the Neue Wache and
Berliner Dom, turn left into Spandauer Strae, and pass
through Hackescher Markt station. Visit the Hackesche
Hfe complex before walking down Oranienburger Strae
for the Neue Synagoge. You can catch the S-Bahn from here
back to Brandenburger Tor.
Since reunication, the old city centre district Mitte

(meaning middle) has rightly snatched back the title of
most-visited district from Charlottenburg. On and o the
boulevard Unter den Linden are baroque and classical
monuments to Prussian culture. The architecturally
humbler but more neighbourhood-like Scheunenviertel
area allows the casually chic to saunter from courtyard
gallery to sidewalk caf. Only traces are left of the Jewish
community that lived here from the late 17th century,
welcomed by the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm.

EUROPACITY
When Berlins Hauptbahnhof train station opened
in 2006 on the site of the former Lehrter Bahnhof, it
was marooned in a desolate plain. The area was never
residential; instead used for the train business and
exhibitions. In the meantime, several block-like hotels
and the John F. Kennedyhaus oce building have
opened up next to the station, while to the north the
area along the canal, formerly the border zone between
east and west Berlin, is the largest construction site in
Berlin. A total 40 hectares of land between three old
harbours is being transformed into a modern residential
and business district. Anchored by the completed
headquarters for Total, and PriceWaterhouseCoopers,
electricity network company 50 Hertz and builders
Ernst Basler und Partner and others are also busy
constructing oces, while the Kunstkubus art cube
will join up with the Hamburger Bahnhof modern art
museum, across the canal.
One remarkable lone survivor from the olden days
is the charming gourmet Paris Moskau restaurant.
Overlooking the station from Alt-Moabit street, for
years the half-timbered building was surrounded
by construction. Now that the new interior ministry
building next door has been nalised, peace has
returned, a good opportunity to drop by for a bite.

FISCHERS FRITZ
The restaurants name comes from a tongue-twister
and the light, fish-focused menu is for a very refined
palate. Chef Christian Lohse has won several of the
Michelin stars that appear none too oft in Germany.
The German chef first trained in Dijon and has since
pleased gourmands such as those at The Dorchester in

LANDMARKS
BRANDENBURGER TOR
Berlins landmark monument, built by Carl Langhans in 1792, is
the last remaining of 14 city gates. Nike, the goddess of victory,
drives the four-horsepower chariot atop the gate. German
armies used to begin their parades here, the fascists spoiled the
gate by staging their torch-lit marches through it, the war badly
damaged it, and then the Wall essentially bricked the patchedup gate in for decades. Berliners celebrated the Walls fall in 1989
by standing on it in front of the gate, and after renovations the
gate is the proud focus point of the renewed square again.QF-3,
Pariser Platz, Mitte, MS/U Brandenburger Tor.
GENDARMENMARKT
Twin cathedrals-turned-museums (dating to the early
1700s), the Konzerthaus (from 1818, by Carl Langhans)
and a row of luxury hotels make up this classic square. The
name stems from the mid-1700s when military regiments
were stationed here.QF-3, Markgrafenstrae, Mitte, MU
Franzsische Strae.
NEUE SYNAGOGE
The gilded cupola of the New Synagogue is one of the most
eye-catching sights in Mitte. Exhibits strikingly balance the
restoration of the Alhambra-inspired synagogue from 1866,
with preserved evidence of its destruction, rst on Kristallnacht
on November 9, 1938, and then through Allied bombs.
Documents and photographs remember the thriving Jewish
community of the neighbourhood, many of whom worshipped
here in what was the largest synagogue in Germany. A subtle
but eective sound installation adds to the experience.QF-3,

NIKOLAIVIERTEL
Berlins tiny medieval heart is the Nikolai Quarter, whose only
truly medieval-looking building today is the Nikolaikirche.
The church dates to 1230 and was rebuilt along with the
entire quarter in the 1980s to mark Berlins 750th birthday

in the area in which the shermens settlement rst began.
No one was trying to outdo Walt Disney here, and many
of the buildings have the simple, concrete facades that
the GDR government could aord. The small shops in the
area mostly deal in toys and souvenirs and tourists gladly
ll the sunny tables at the restaurants that face the river.
On Rathausstrae, theres a row of restaurants that aunt
old-fashioned Berlin cuisine and atmosphere. Other rebuilt
historic buildings in the area date to the 1700s, such as the
Ephraim-Palais and Knoblauchhaus. Both have changing
exhibits related to Berlin.QG-3, Nikolaikirchplatz, Mitte,

POTSDAMER PLATZ
Once a busy intersection at the modern heart of a thriving
metropolis, Potsdamer Platz was heavily damaged in the
war, and suered again when most remaining buildings
were demolished to make way for the Walls death strip.
Hotel and oce skyscrapers now add a cosmopolitan edge
to the city, while to the east Leipziger Platz is almost rebuilt.
The most popular public space and architectural attraction
is the Sony Center, with its huge atrium and tent-like
roof, best viewed at night for its impressive lighting.
The neighbouring DaimlerChrysler complex holds
architecture by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, and the
Arkaden shopping mall.QE/F-4, MS/U Potsdamer Platz.
REICHSTAG
The name together with its monumental size make most
people associate Germanys neoclassical parliamentary
building with the Nazis, but they have little history here. After
hosting parliamentary sessions since 1894, it was set on re
just one month after Hitler was appointed chancellor in
January 1933. It was a conference centre in the years during
which it abutted the Wall, while later artist Christo famously
wrapped it in cloth. It was used as parliament again after a
reunited German government returned to Berlin in 1999.
Renovated by Sir Norman Foster, this building is perhaps
the most public federal building in the world through its
glass dome. On the rooftop, photographs documenting
the buildings history circle the rim above the parliament
chamber. Two ramps spiral up the side of the dome,
an engineering feat even more fascinating than the panoramic
view from the top. Its best to book an entry time to the dome

FHRERBUNKER
One lonely signpost mark the site where Hitler committed
suicide on April 30, 1945. For the last month of his life, Hitler
lived roughly eight meters below ground in an air-raid
shelter topped by a four-metre-thick, reinforced concrete
ceiling. The unremarkable spot can be reached by walking
to the end of In den Ministergrten, o Ebertstrae. A
parking area surrounded by a pre-fabricated apartment
complex covers the location, which was entirely sealed o
during the complexs construction in 1988-89. The bunker
was once accessed through the Festsaal (ballroom) behind
the Reichskanzler-Palais on Wilhelmstrae.QF-3, In den

MEMORIAL TO THE MURDERED JEWS
OF EUROPE
This bluntly named memorial avoids any vagueness
surrounding the term Holocaust. Six million Jews are
estimated to have been killed by the Nazis and this site
serves as Germanys national memorial to those victims. The
design by American architect Peter Eisenmann is a eld of
2,700 concrete stelae, or pillars, of varying height, creating

designs and costumes provide glimpses of the familiar, and

Charlottenburg & the West

Follow what becomes an increasingly silken ribbon down
Kurfrstendamm (Kudamm) and the setting becomes
more genteel. West Berliners meet in the bars and cafs
branching o Savignyplatz, even if the Szene has moved
east. Nearby but isolated from the hoi polloi is Schloss
Charlottenburg, the residence of King Friedrich I. This
chapter also covers other parts of western Berlin: leafy
Wilmersdorf and Schneberg, the centre of gay Berlin
since the days of Christopher Isherwoods Berlin Stories.
Weve also included some nearby venues in Tiergarten
(ocially part of Mitte) here.
GETTING THERE
Charlottenburgs nerve centre is Zoologischer Bahnhof
station, along the main west-east raised city railway and
easily reached from Hauptbahnhof or Spandau. From heres
its a short walk to many hotels and sights, or else hop on
the M29 bus, going east along Tauentzienstrae or west
down Kurfrstendamm.
POCKET WALK: CHARLOTTENBURG
Explore Charlottenburg from Zoologischer Garten station.
Walk east past the Zoo to Breitscheidplatz for the ruins
and modern reincarnation of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial
Church. Stroll further east down Tauentzienstrae for the
KaDeWe department store and other upmarket shops, or
head west along Kantstrae to leafy Savignyplatz for calm
cafs and rened dining, or southwest down grand old
Kurfrstendamm for more shopping.

If downtown to you means wide, trac-lled streets,

crowds of shoppers, ve-star hotels and tall buildings,
then Charlottenburg comes closest to tting the bill in
Berlin. The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedchtniskirche church, left
as a ruin after the war, is the nexus of activity; between
it and Zoologischer Garten station, over a billion euros is
being invested in impressive highrises, hotels and oces.

even synagogues contributed to its funding. Inside is a gilded mosaic of the Hohenzollern dynasty. The modern chapel

WEST BERLIN REVIVAL

After the Second World War, the western half of Berlin
found itself in a very curious situation. This group of city
suburbs, which included the chic shopping and theatre
district of Charlottenburg, was suddenly declared a
separate entity from the eastern part of the city, which
included the entire city centre district. After the fall of
the Wall, West Berlin went through a tough decade of
reorientation, as investment and visitors headed east
to the original city centre. Now however, the West is
undergoing something of a revival. Next to the newly
renovated Gedchtniskirche stands the gleaming new
Waldorf Astoria, overlooking the revolutionary Bikini
Berlin concept mall and the linked 25hours Hotel
Bikini Berlin. Just across the tracks, the C/O Berlin photo
gallery opens this autumn. If thats not enough reason to
look west, the intriguing West:Berlin exhibition opens
in mid-November. Find information about all these

Prenzlauer Berg
Prenzlauer Berg
On a low hill northeast
of Mitte, Prenzl Berg is an
old working-class district
in the former East Berlin
that came through the war
relatively unscathed. After
1989, the cool brigade
pounced on the area, and
houses that were once
home to East German
punks were renovated
in odes to pastel. The
number of wine shops and
young parents pushing
pricey prams indicates the level of gentrication here. The
best places to soak up the atmosphere are Kollwitzplatz,
Helmholzplatz and along Kastanienallee. One of Prenzlauer
Bergs best attractions is the Kulturbrauerei culture centre,
set in a 19th-century brewery complex. This chapter also
covers some places in multicultural Wedding, just to the
west.
POCKET WALK: PRENZLAUER BERG

Start walking uphill along Kollwitzstrae from U-Bahn
station Senefelder Platz. From leafy Kollwitzplatz turn
into beautiful Husemannstrae, which was already
restored in GDR times, and left into Sredzkistrae
where youll spot the Kulturbrauerei complex ahead;
enter beside the tall chimney and wander through its
courtyards to the northern exit. Cross Danziger Strae
and amble down Lychenerstrae to pretty, caf-lined
Helmholtzplatz. Follow Raumerstrae west, turn left
down Pappelallee and cross underneath the U-Bahn
station to Eberswalder Strae; youll soon reach the
popular Mauerpark and the top end of Bernauer Strae
with its excellent Wall Memorial.

DIE SCHULE
Modern and light German food on Berlins prime catwalk.
Kastanienallee, also known as casting alley, is a perfect
place to watch Berlin street style. Die Schule has a terrace
facing the street and the airy interiors belie that these
rooms used to be classrooms (hence the name). You can
have all the German food classics, and even better: you
can have them all at once: try German Kleinigkeiten, small
samples of everything the local cuisine is famous for.QG2, Kastanienallee 82, Prenzlauer Berg, MU Eberswalder

Strae and S-Bahn station Nordbahnhof are most convenient for a stroll along the Wall Memorial to Mauerpark.

GUGELHOF
During the early bloom of Kollwitzplatzs gentrication,
the success of little Gugelhof was sealed by heads of state:
Schrder, Fischer, Albright and even Bill Clinton made
surprise visits. German, French, and Swiss dishes share
the menu; this is where to try ammekuchen, a thin-crust
Alsatian pizza. The atmosphere is lively and service is
friendly.QH-2, Knaackstrae 37, Prenzlauer Berg, MU

PIZZERIA I DUE FORNI
Atypical for Berlin, this Italian restaurant is not very chic, the

highly praised, and the lively, convivial atmosphere of i Due
Forni is the perfect primer for a night out on the town.QG-2,

Friedrichshain
Friedrichshain is a lively old workers district that has
completely been taken over by rad nightlife venues, grati
and leftist students moaning about Touris encroaching on
their favourite watering holes. Tree-lined Simon-Dach-Strae
is full of cafs and bars, while Boxhagener Platz hosts the
popular Sunday eamarket. In the former border zone along
the river, the MediaSpree development plans for oces,
apartments and skyscrapers is passionately opposed by many
vocal locals who fear theyll lose public access to the river. This
chapter also includes suburban sights east of Friedrichshain.

STASI MUSEUM
East Germanys State Security Service or Stasi was
responsible for intelligence gathering both at home and

the friends, colleagues, and family of those they wished to
keep an eye on. Today, this humble museum shows the
oce of Erich Mielke, the feared Stasi minister for 32 years,
in its original dull state. Theres a video of him testifying
before a panel in 1989, symbols of Communist kitsch, and
many documents in German.QRuschestrae 103, Haus 1,

STASI PRISON
The most hard-hitting of all GDR-related museums, the Stasi
Prison shows the sheer brutality of this dictatorship. Used by
the Soviets and the GDRs secret service to extract confessions
in advance of (show) trials, the Hohenschnhausen prison
swallowed thousands of people who underwent horric
physical and psychological torture in the chilling submarine
cell block and the interrogation rooms. A short lm is followed
by an excellent 90-minute guided tour, vividly explaining how
eciently the prison system worked, and how nobody ever
escaped. Take tram M5 from Alexanderplatz to Freienwalder
Strae and walk 600 metres.QGenslerstrae 66, tel. +49 30

Kreuzberg
Kreuzberg
Thanks to a large Turkish
community and more
hippies, anarchists and
alternative folks than
you can shake a bong at,
Kreuzberg feels neither east
nor west. It was the black
sheep of West Berlin, literally
cornered up against the
death strip and left alone
to play loud music and
draw on the walls. By now,
the protesting students
of 1968 have grown grey
alongside the Turkish immigrants. Every year since 1987,
Kreuzberg relives its 15 minutes of fame during the traditional
May Day political demonstrations, which invariably turn into
a long night of stone-throwing and burning cars. Otherwise,
Kreuzberg is a perfectly safe district to wander through, and
its all about backgammon at the mens clubs, caf-sitting
along Landwehrkanal, and ambling down the popular
Oranienstrae and Bergmannstrae drags.
This chapter also covers areas south of Kreuzberg: leafy
Treptow west along the river Spree, the Tempelhof
airport-turned-park which attracts thousands of visitors
in summer, and the upcoming Neuklln district. Here,
the Kreuzklln area around Reuterstrae is increasingly
attracting hipsters, artists, artsy boutiques and weird
nightlife spots.

POCKET WALK: KREUZBERG

Kreuzberg is best explored in two parts. From Platz der
Luftbrcke station walk west to Viktoriapark and climb the
Kreuzberg for views north over the city. Descend eastwards
and walk along genteel Bergmannstrae, perhaps
visiting a caf or the market hall, before walking south to
Columbiadamm for access to the the former Tempelhof
airport, now a wonderful park.
Start a tour of the fascinating eastern end of Kreuzberg
at Kottbusser Tor U-Bahn station; wander north through
little Istanbul to Oranienplatz and follow the park to
the Engelbecken pond where you can follow the former
Wall along Bethaniendamm to Mariannenplatz, a centre
of Berlin subculture. Stroll down Waldemarstrae to
caf-lined Lausitzerplatz and cross under the U-Bahn
line to lively Grlitzer Park. From here, go north into
Falckensteinstrae to discover more of Kreuzbergs street
art, or head south along Ohlauer Strae and across
Landwehrkanal into the trendy Kreuzklln district for
cupcakes and cocktails.

Third Reich police, military and security groups that
were headquartered in this area, and discusses their

organisation and the terror they cast across Europe.
The most important lesson to take home is perhaps
that these organisation only managed to thrive thanks

BERLIN IN BOOKS
Over 5,000 so-called stumbling
stones or Stolpersteine have
been laid on Berlins streets
since the mid-1990s. These
small bronze plaques each
commemorate one victim of
the Nazis, and are laid in the
public pavement in front of the
last voluntary place of residence.
Private individuals can research,
request and pay for a stone,
and regular Berliners often polish them up and lay
candles. Theyre dedicated to all kinds of people; Jews,
homosexuals, members of the resistance, euthanised
handicapped and elderly Germans, and many others.
A new English-language book, edited by the Aktives
Museum Faschismus und Widerstand, has 12 detailed
neighbourhood walks linking dozens of Stolpersteine,
highlighting the personal tragedies behind each stone,
and the Nazi-era history of whole city districts. The
well-illustrated texts come with clear directions, maps
and historical photos.
Stumbling Stones in Berlin (Aktives Museum
Faschismus und Widerstand 2014, no ISBN) is for
sale for 12 at Dussmann, Berlin Story, bookshops
on Bayerischer Platz, and at the Aktives Museum
(Stauenbergstr. 13-14, www.aktives-museum.de).

Part of Berlins charm is its proud grittiness, but dont chide

yourself for being bourgeois if it gets to you - it got on
the nerves of Frederick II the Great too. The ruler of Berlin
and all Prussia from 1740 to 1786 built his favorite abode
Sanssouci, outside Berlin in the town of Potsdam.
Without a worry was the French name of his palace, though
thanks to considerable care taken by its architect Georg
Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdor, craftsmen, and artisans, it is
hailed as the Versailles of Germany. Sanssouci was intended
as a summer residence, and though Friedrich stretched out
the seasons he spent here, tourists dont have the same
privilege: many buildings close between mid-October and
April. The best attractions are open through winter - Park
Sanssoucis Schloss Sanssouci and Neues Palais; and the
Neuer Gartens Marmorpalais and Schloss Cecilienhof.
Besides the palaces and parks, the compact towns centre,
half faded and half restored, makes for a pleasant stroll. The
Kolonie Alexandrowka is in a park along Puschkinallee,
south of the rise to the Belevedere. Quaintly enough, the
log cabins here were built in 1826 for a 12-member Russian
choir who had helped the Prussians ght Napoleon. Most
of the boys got homesick and eventually left. The redbrick
Hollndisches Viertel (Dutch quarter) is another failed
settlement, but a great place to get a meal and browse in
some shops. Friedrich Wilhelm I built the small district in
the 1730s to attract Dutch craftsmen.

SCHLOSS SANSSOUCI
The 18th century rococo-style Schloss Sanssouci (without
worries) has a gorgeous approach up a ight of vineyard
terraces. Frederick the Great loved his little Prussian Arcadia
and was buried on here at his own request. The original
palace rooms and guest apartments host works by Rubens,
Van Dyck and Caravaggio. The palace sits within the 290
hectares of Park Sanssouci, which holds a botanical garden, an
Orangerie, Roman baths, the Chinese House, the Neues Palais,
and Karl Friedrich Schinkels Schloss Charlottenhof, whose
interior is perhaps the best preserved example of Schinkels
work. Each sight has its own separate admission charge and
changing exhibits. The hilltop Belvedere auf dem Pngstberg
is a romantic folly lookout tower completed in 1863. On busy
days arrive early to secure tour tickets, or join the tourism
oces Sanssouci tour which includes the palace even when
day tickets are sold out. From Potsdam Hauptbahnhof station
take bus N612, 614 or 695.QMaulbeerallee, Potsdam, tel.
