Welcome to Berlin
Berlin is the capital of Germany and the largest city in the country living here around 4 million people.The first historical document of Berlin goes back to 1237, alluding to the towns of Cölln and Berlin, located in each one of the banks of the river Spree. The two localities allied themselves in 1307, having constituted a common municipality.In the early eighteenth century, Frederick III, turned Brandenburg into a kingdom and Berlin became then the capital of Prussia.January of 1871, Bismark proclaimed the German Empire maintaining Berlin like capital.
In the last year of the 2nd great war, Berlin suffered numerous bombings, especially since most of the buildings were in ruins.
The American, British, French and Soviet troops, reunited in Potsdam, divided the city into four sectors.Berlin was at the center of the Cold War and was the protagonist of one of its greatest crises, known as the Berlin Blockade (June 24th,1948 until May 11th,1949).From 1989, the political changes that took place in Eastern Europe led to the fall of the Berlin wall and the opening of the borders between the GDR and the rest of Germany. In 1990, Germany reunified and Berlin became the capital again.
It is a city that was destroyed and divided having a troubled history, reborn as a place whose nightlife and neighborhoods are as fascinating as its abundant museums and dissonant architecture. Every corner has a story to tell.Today Berlin is a global city and one of the most influential centers of culture in the world.
Berlin’s fastest-growing economic sectors include communications, life sciences and transport, particularly services using information and communication technologies, as well as advertising and media engineering, music and design, biotechnology, environmental and health services.This rapid development of the metropolis has attracted an international reputation to its festivals.
Art & Culture
Berlin is the city where history meets hipster culture, the city with a vibe so unique and mesmerizing that once you visit you will definitely want to come back.
Germany’s capital, Berlin is a metropolis with almost 4 million inhabitants and is everything that a model modern-day metropolis can be: loud, busy, full of traffic, a place of big business and 9-to-5 jobs. But it is also so much more than that. A mecca for creative people from all over the world, it is a place where nightclubs are as culturally important as opera houses, where flea markets attract more customers then shopping malls and where the street food is often better than your average Michelin-star-restaurant fare.
Berlin has a rich history. Many events that have shaped the world as we know it happened here, so there is a lot to explore if you’re interested in that side of the city. But what most tourists know and love Berlin for is the special urban vibe that welcomes creativity and being different, where anything goes, and every freak can feel at home.
A city that celebrates uniqueness, Berlin has fostered a laid back ‘live and let live’ atmosphere. Whatever you are interested in, be it yoga and spiritual practices, silent cinema and theater, techno music and the rave culture, communal gardening and sustainable traveling, or urban fashion and streetwear, this city has you covered. Berlin’s neighborhoods are unique and different, and each one has its own subcultures, communities, must-go places and must try-foods. In each of them, you will easily find people from all walks of life and all over the world who share your passions.
Come to Berlin for the arts and culture, alternative music and vintage record shopping, hot kebabs and artisan burgers, historic sites and important monuments, brunches in Mitte and late nights in Kreuzberg. Below we present a carefully curated but nowhere near exhaustive list of amazing places to see and try in Berlin.
Gastronomy
Currywurst
Currywurst
Currywurst is a street food staple all around Germany and of course in Berlin. It has been wildly popular ever since it’s invention in 1949 when a lucky cook got an idea to put some curry powder and ketchup onto a freshly grilled bratwurst. The snack immediately became wildly popular and can be still found at most fast-food stands today. It is simple, inexpensive, and flavorful, perfect street food to be enjoyed after a couple of beers or as a midday pick-me-up. Variations of the dish are also served in restaurants all across Berlin, but the general consensus is that nothing beats a 3€ piping-hot currywurst fresh off the grill, eaten outside of a street food stand at 2 a.m.
Berliner
Berliner
Berliners are filled doughnuts made with yeast and deep-fried in oil. Traditionally these treats are eaten to celebrate New Year’s Eve and the carnival holidays, can but now be found around Berlin throughout the year. Interestingly, Berliner is the name used everywhere in Germany except Berlin, where the same treat goes under the name Pfannkuchen. The doughnuts are made with a variety of fillings and different toppings and glazes. The filling can be raspberry, cherry or strawberry jam, sometimes the doughnuts are also flavored with rum. The German have a fun tradition associated with the sweet treats. When making Berliners for the New Year’s Eve celebration, they usually fill one of the doughnuts with mustard instead of jam, with a belief that the person who gets it will be especially lucky the upcoming year.
Pork knuckle
Pork knuckle
Pork knuckle is the ultimate German beer food. Everywhere, from Oktoberfest to breweries and taverns all around Germany, pork knuckle is a menu staple. A cut of meat that lies at the very end of the leg below the ham was traditionally simple farmers’ food that originated in Bavaria. It is cooked slow and low, generously seasoned with salt, pepper, and bay leaf, and then briefly braised to render the skin crispy and golden. Of course, the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender and pairs wonderfully with the traditional sides of potatoes and cabbage. Rich and hearty, it is a perfect dish to go with beer. The added bonus is that after one of those you will definitely be able to enjoy several more pints without getting tipsy.
Strudel
Strudel
Another popular dessert the Germans are especially proud of is the strudel, a layered pastry with a sweet filling. The dessert became popular in the 18th century in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is essential to German cuisine. Strudel dough famously requires a lot of work, as it has to be kneaded vigorously for a long time and then rolled out by hand as thinly as possible. Some cooks claim the dough should thin enough to read a newspaper through. This scrumptious dessert is made with a variety of fillings. The most common ones include apple, raisins, cherry, and poppy seeds. When cooked properly, the strudel is mind-blowingly good with its crispy flaky crust and a rich tart filling. It is usually served with a scoop of ice cream to offset the buttery crisp of the crust. In Berlin, strudel can be found on many menus, especially in eateries focused on or inspired by the local cuisine.
Schnitzel
Schnitzel
Schnitzel is as German as it gets. A slice of meat pounded out thin, covered in breading and fried, it is a no-fuss dish that hits the spot every time. It can be made with either pork or veal, coated in eggs and fluffy bread crumbs, and fried until crispy. Traditionally it is served with a slice of lemon for seasoning and some potato salad or French fries on the side. The trick to a perfect schnitzel is a slice of quality meat pounded to about 1/4 inch, no more and no less, and fried quickly at a very high temperature. It is a staple of German home cooking, and of course is served in restaurants all over Berlin, from traditional taverns to hip new places that are trying to put their own spin on the dish. However, when made well, the Schnitzel is perfection in and of itself, and no reimagining is needed.
People
Marlene Dietrich
Marlene Dietrich
Marlene Dietrich, with the stage name of Marie Magdelene Dietrich von Losch was a German actress and singer. Dietrich has maintained great popularity throughout his long career in show business by continually reinventing himself professionally. In 1920, in Berlin, she appeared on stage and in silent films. His performance as Lola-Lola in The Blue Angel (1930), directed by Josef von Sternberg, brought international fame, resulting in a contract with Paramount Pictures. Dietrich starred in Hollywood films such as Morocco (1930), the Shanghai Express (1932) and Desire (1936). With much success, she has shaped a glamorous and exotic persona, going to super stardom and becoming one of the best paid actresses of her time. The artist is also notable in her humanitarian collaboration during World War II, housing exiles and helping them financially. For this fight, she received honors in the United States, France, Belgium and Israel. While still making films occasionally after the war, Dietrich spent most of the 1950s and 1970s on a world tour where he sang songs from his movies and records.
Karl Marx
Karl Marx
Karl Marx was a philosopher, sociologist, journalist and socialist revolutionary. Born in Prussia, he later became stateless and spent much of his life in London in the United Kingdom. Praised and criticized, Marx has been described as one of the most influential figures in the history of mankind. Many intellectuals, trade unions and political parties worldwide have been influenced by his ideas, with many variations on his work base. Marx’s work in economics laid the basis for much of the current understanding of labor and its relation to capital, as well as subsequent economic thought. He published several books during his lifetime, with The Communist Manifesto (1848) and Capital (1867-1894) the most prominent. Marx’s theories of society, economics, and politics (known as Marxism) through a class struggle (a conflict between a social class that controls the means of production and the working class, which supplies the labor force for production), and that the state was created to protect the interests of the ruling class, although presented as an instrument that represents the common interest of all. In addition, he predicted that capitalism would produce internal tensions that would lead to its self-destruction and substitution by a new system: socialism.
Katarina Witt
Katarina Witt
Katarina Witt is a former German skater who won two Olympic medals in 1984 and 1988, in addition to the World Championships in 1984, 1985, 1987 and 1988 and six consecutive European championships, from 1983 to 1988. Since she wanted to be a skater, she always asked her mother, Kathe, to let her practice her sport, and every day after school she would go through a skating rink.In 1994, he managed to qualify again for the Winter Olympic Games. However, Katarina was more than celebrating the fact that she could compete for a reunited Germany, than to rise to one of the podium positions. In 1999, she was voted the favorite female athlete of the United States and the favorite skater of the twentieth century. Time Magazine considered it the most beautiful face of Socialism and, in fact, her sex appeal was undeniable, using her daring costumes for the figure skating and thematic / theatrical costumes, which sometimes led to punishments, but also has extended the limits of sport.
Lucian Freud
Lucian Freud
Lucian Michael Freud was a painter born in Berlin (1922)on December 8th and naturalized British in 1939. His first solo exhibition, at the Lefevre Gallery in 1944, featured the now celebrated The Painter’s Room. Freud’s early paintings are often associated with surrealism and for presenting people and plants in unusual juxtapositions. These works are usually painted with a rather lean painting, but from the 1950s he began to paint portraits, usually nude, and began to use a thicker impasto.With the use of this technique, Lucian cleaned his brush with each stroke . The colors in these paintings are typically muted. Their themes are usually about people in their lives; friends, family, loves, children. In the words of the artist “the subject matter is autobiographical, everything has to do with hope, memory, sensuality and involvement.”
Nadja Auermann
Nadja Auermann
Nadja Auermann is a German supermodel who was born in Berlin on March 19th in 1971. She photographed for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Disembarked for Versace and posed in minishorts for the classic photo alongside Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour.

She then had her picture taken for Vogue Paris, in addition to appearing in Benetton clothing advertisements. On September 1994, Auermann appeared on the cover of both Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, which The New York Times called “a triumph” akin to winning two legs of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.
