AEG Turbine Hall


Forerunner of modern industrial design
Huttenstraße 12-19
Berlin, Berlin 10553
Germany
+49 (0)30 25 0025 (Touristen Information)
http://www.berlin.de/tourismus...
The AEG Turbine Hall - a turbine production factory built in 1909 for the German electronic giant "AEG" - is deemed to be one of the most revolutionary architectural constructions of the early twentieth century. With its visible steel supports and enormous glass windows, the factory celebrates its function as an industrial workplace rather than hiding behind a mock neo-baroque facade. The huge steel building was designed by architect Peter Behrens (1868-1940), who is credited as being the forefather of modern industrial design. Behrens designed numerous other classic buildings, but the AEG Turbine Hall is regarded as his most important work. Behrens worked on the design of the building together with other influential turn-of-the-century architects such as Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, designer of the Neue Nationalgalerie.

This beautiful baroque palace was built in 1695 by King Friedrich Wilhelm I as a summer residence for his beloved wife, Queen Sophie Charlotte. Hidden away in the lush Royal Gardens are several smaller buildings: the ornate rococo Belvedere, containing an impressive collection of porcelain; the Schinkel Pavilion which houses drawings, paintings, sculptures, furniture and porcelain by Karl Friedrich Schinkel; and the neoclassical Mausoleum containing the tombs of Queen Louise, King Friedrich Wilhelm III, Emperor Wilhelm I and Empress Augusta.

Charlottenburg Palace gardens


Royal gardens
Luisenplatz
Berlin, Berlin 14059
Germany
+49 (0)30 25 0025 (Touristen Information)
Schloss Charlottenburg's landscape gardens are a true feast for the eye. Now a popular destination for a relaxing Sunday afternoon stroll, the royal gardens were first designed in the 17th century and gradually added to over the ensuing years. Some parts of the garden display the original French style, while much of the rest of the park was relandscaped as an English garden in the early 19th century. Dotted with numerous small buildings and sculptures, the mausoleum (containing the tombs of Queen Luise and Friedrich Wilhelm III), the pond and the Belvedere tea house are particularly noteworthy. After exploring the gardens, visitors could have a coffee in the Orangerie or head off by boat to the other great royal palaces in Potsdam.

Volkspark Jungfernheide is much more than just a beautiful park in the northern outskirts. In the summer, thousands of sun-worshippers and water-lovers flock to the lake, where there is a small beach with slides, piers and chaise longues. In fact, who needs the Mediterranean when you've got this on your doorstep! If you're hungry after your swim, a decent restaurant awaits you.

Hanseatic League Quarter


Past visions of the future
Hansaviertel
Berlin, Berlin 10557
Germany
+49 (0)30 25 0025 (Touristen Information)
http://www.berlin-hansaviertel...
During the Cold War, competition between East and West Berlin was intense and extended into all fields. When East Berlin authorities transformed Karl-Marx-Allee into a monumental, awe-inspiring boulevard in the latest architectural style, the West was quick to respond. The area to the north of the Tiergarten, known as the Hansaviertel, had been razed to the ground during the bombing raids of 1945 and was the perfect place for the West to demonstrate its superiority in the field of architecture and design. It was here that a group of well-known international architects constructed their visions of the "City of the Future" under the auspices of the International Exhibition of Construction and Design in 1957. The result—a curious mix of high-rise blocks, rose bushes and cedar trees.

Heilandskirche


Towering Church Spires
Thusnelda-Allee 1
(Alt Moabit)
Berlin 10555
Germany
+49 30 391 6613
http://www.kgmoabit-west.de
When in the Tiergarten district, it's pretty hard to miss Heilandskirche, as its 87m high spire stands out among the tree-lined avenues. Originally built in 1894, the church was badly damaged by bombs during World War II, and so much of it had to be rebuilt in the years that followed. Now the church is home to an active congregation and to a range of musical and religious events. Curiously enough, the neighborhood boasts both the city's tallest spire and shortest street - Thusnelda Allee - whose only tenant is Heilandskirche itself.

http://www.bundeskanzlerin.de/...
Located across the Reichstag's building in Tiergarten, the recently completed Kanzleramt was opened in 2001. Architect Axel Schultes designed the 9-story building, where the German Chancellor has his/her office and residence (although none of the Chancellors have decided to live there until now). The access to the building is currently restricted so, unlike the Reichstag, visitors cannot enter it. Made of concrete and huge glass panels, it's an impressive edifice that symbolizes the reunification between East and West Berlin.

Lake Ploetzen Memorial


Chilling reminder of Nazi crimes
Hüttigpfad
Plötzensee Memorial Center
Berlin, Berlin 13627
Germany
+49 (0)30 344 3226
http://www.gedenkstaette-ploet...
Surrounded by blossoming trees and peaceful lakes, Plötzensee seems a pleasant place on first appearances. Yet Plötzensee prison was the scene of some of the most monstrous crimes in the Third Reich. Over 2,500 political prisoners were executed here in 1933-45, including the members of the July 1944 bomb plot to assassinate Hitler (see Gedenkstätte deutscher Widerstand). Hitler ordered that the plotters be hanged with chicken wire so that they would be slowly strangled rather than dying quickly of a broken neck. He then watched films of the executions at his home in the evening. Of all Berlin's memorials to Nazi crimes, Plötzensee is perhaps the most horrific and the most chilling. The main building is still used as a prison for young offenders, but the execution chamber has been turned into a museum.

Though originally constructed in 1896 by Ludwig Loewe for use as an engines factory, this building has been transformed into one of the most elegant event venues in the city. With numerous large windows and an expansive interior, the Loewe Saal is a popular choice for receptions, conferences and ceremonies. It is located the charming Tiergarten neighborhood, and with an impressive brick façade overlooking the park grounds, this is one venue that is hard to miss.

Berlin, Berlin 14059

http://www.smb.spk-berlin.de/
The Museum of Prehistory and Early History presents a comparison of occidental and oriental cultures from the beginning of human activity through to the medieval period. The collection is impressively broad and contains two major highlights—the awe-inspiring Collection of Trojan Antiquities, donated to the city by explorer Heinrich Schliemann (credited with discovering the ancient city of Troy) and Caucasus Collection, the largest collection of ancient metallic and ceramic objects outside the former Soviet Union. Both of these geographical areas are reckoned to be the cradle of humanity, yet both are difficult to define as either 'occident' or 'orient'. A thought-provoking collection.

This compact and rather unassuming church is an architectural draw for many, and is also known for the many musical concerts that take place there throughout the year. Built in the early 19th Century, it has been an important link in its parish for many years, and is also home to a large cemetery that draws many visitors seeking a piece of history. During the week the church hosts a variety of events, including concerts and bible study groups.

The Egyptian Museum lies in one of the twin buildings facing Schloss Charlottenburg which were originally used as the royal barracks. The centrepiece of the museum's collection is the world-famous, 3,000-year-old bust of Nofretete. Don't forget the other treasures though, which include a portrait of Queen Tiy and King Akhenaton from the 14th century BC. The collection contains a total of over 2,000 ancient Egyptian masterpieces. Temporary exhibitions are staged in the great hall, which was modelled on King Sahure's Pyramid Temple.
