If you have an opportunity to travel to Europe, take your time to visit Berlin. Many places are
worth visiting, such as the Reichstag and the Berlin Wall.

The Reichstag is an internationally recognizable symbol of democracy and the current home
of the German parliament. Every year, thousands of guests visit the Reichstag-and with good reason:
it is not often that you can enjoy such an amazing panorama while, just beneath your feet, the political
decisions of tomorrow are being made. Both as an architectural wonder and a historical testimony,
the Reichstag has an imortant role to play in Berlin.

The original building was designed by Paul Wallot and modelled after the Memorial Hall in
Philadelpia. Decorative motifs, sculptures and mosaics were contributed by the artist Otto Lessing.
The Reichstag was completed in 1894 although it didn’t acquire its iconic dedication to “the German
People” until 1916 when the words Dem Deutschen Volke were inscribed on its facade.

The Reichstag is easily accessible by public transport as it is situated just a short distance from
Berlin’s main rail station, the Hauftbahnhof. The number 100 bus, which provides an unrivalled
sightseeing oppurtunity along its route between the Zoo Station in the West and Alexanderplatz in the
East, also stops at the Reichstag, as does the M41. The nearest U-Bahn station to the Reichstag is the
Bundestag. It is the middle station of only three station on what is surely Berlin’s shortest U-Bahn line
which runs between the Hauftbahnhof Brandenburger Tor.

The Berlin Wall, which finally over the first segments were broken off in 1989 in Bernauer
Straẞe, is also worth visiting in order to remember the dark history of Germany. What was once the
border strip is now a place of rememberance. The Berlin Wall memorial gives you a moving insight
into the division of Berlin.

A GDR (Germany Democratic Republic) soldier jumped over the fence at the last moment.
People jumping out of windows into sheets held out by West Berlin fireman. Today this historic
location is the side of The Berlin Wall Memorial where the partition of Berlin is remembered.

The large open air exhibition on the former border strip covers four areas with historical audio
materials and pictures, a visitors’ center and an observation tower. There is a 70-meters stretch on
The Berlin Wall with border strip and watchtower directly on Bernauer Straẞe. The installation shows
how the border was set up at the end of the 80s and gives visitors the lasting impression of the
contruction that once divided a country.

The exhibition in the documentation center is on the other side of Bernauer Straẞe and shows
the history of the contruction of the wall in 1961.
