Welcome to Berlin

Germany's capital Berlin is the largest city in Germany regarding the population and area occupied. During the Cold War it played an important role in the national and international politics. The city was also divided by the Berlin Wall into a western and eastern part. In the photo you see the German Parliament the "Bundestag", the American Embassy and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe by Peter Eiserman und Buro Happold, which was build in 2005 and should remind us of the dark days in the countries history.
