Since the fall of the Berlin Wall some 20 years ago, Germany's capital
has experienced enormous changes: it has become a capital not only in
the political sense, but culturally and intellectually as well. As a
result, it is now considered one of Europe's most exciting and diverse
cities.
The history of Berlin is one of the most unusual: While the oldest
parts date back to the 12th century, Berlin became only important in
the 17th century with the fast rise of Prussia. With the unification
of all German states to a single imperial state in the 1870, Berlin
became the capital city. After world war two, Berlin was divided into
sectors, and in 1961 the infamous Berlin Wall was built. The
Brandenburg gate became a symbol of the division between east and
west. After the wall came down in 1989, Berlin was made again the
capital of reunited Germany.
Berlin offers attractive sites for all taste. The city has famous
museums hosting important galleries and archaeological attractions
such as the Pergamon altar or the Ishtar gate. The contemporary art
scene, too, has long since found a home in Berlin. Great art can also
be experienced in Berlin's opera houses and its many renowned theatres.
