KADEWE

The KaDeWe - modern over 100 years ago Open Monday - Thursday 10am - 8pm Friday 10am - 9pm Saturday 9.30am - 8pm Special Opening Hours What apparently started as an adventurous idea by the Berlin merchant Adolf Jandorf in 1905 surpassed all expectations when KaDeWe was opened in March 1907. As the leading department store in the country, it presented customers with an array of desirable goods from around the world - from the latest Paris fashion show looks to exotic south sea fruits. Always a firm step ahead of the competition, KaDeWe today, as well as offering a vast variety of products, is also setting new standards in service. KaDeWe caters for a wide range of needs with luxurious beauty rooms and lounges, a wedding and gift service, a hotel and home service, tailor, hairdressers, buggy rental and a bureau de change. In its world-famous gourmet department on the sixth floor, Berlin's premium department store even plays host to exclusive parties high above the roofs of the city. The same ritual takes place every day at KaDeWe and sometimes on Sundays too when, shortly before 10 am, the original iron gate dating from 1907 is lowered so that customers can embark on an exciting shopping adventure. Each day up to 180,000 customers from around the world are welcomed in cordially by the porter before being attended to on more than 60,000 sq m of sales space by some 2,000 employees, for each of which customer needs and first class service take pride of priority.

Topography of Terror

Between 1933 and 1945, the central institutions responsible for the repressive and criminal policies of National Socialism were located on the terrain of the Topography of Terror, situated between Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse (today Niederkirchnerstrasse), Wilhelmstrasse and Anhalter Strasse. Here, in close proximity to the traditional government district, the Secret State Police, the SS leadership and the Reich Security Main Office set up their offices: the administrative headquarters of the Secret State Police and the notorious Gestapo "house prison" were located at Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse 8; the neighbouring Hotel Prinz Albrecht housed the offices of the SS Reich leadership; and the Security Service (SD) of the SS Reich leadership was established at Wilhelmstrasse 102. As of 1939, Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse 8 was also the address of the newly founded Reich Security Main Office. With the concentration of these institutions at one site, this area in effect became the government district of the National Socialist SS and Police State. This is where Himmler, Heydrich, Kaltenbrunner and their assistants had their desks. At this "site of the perpetrators", important decisions were made concerning the persecution of political opponents, the "Germanisation" of occupied territories in Poland and the Soviet Union, the murder of Soviet prisoners of war and the genocide of the European Jews. This is where the infamous Special Police Units (Einsatzgruppen) were assembled and where the "Wannsee Conference" was prepared. There is no other site where terror and murder were planned and organised on the same scale. In addition to organising and administrating these crimes, the staff and office directors of the RSHA were also directly involved in the extermination policy of the Special Police Units (Einsatzgruppen) in the occupied countries.

A three-level bridge over the Messedamm links the Congress Center with the Exhibition and Trade Fair Center at the foot of the Radio Tower.The Congress Center, constructed between 1970-79, is Berlin's largest post-war project. It is 320 m/1,050ft long, 80 m/260ft across and 40 m/130ft high. It has a cubic content of 800,000 cu.m/1,000,000 cu.yd, and the total weight of steel in the roof is 8,500 tons.

Brandenburg Gate

(Local Name: Brandenburger Tor) The monumental sandstone structure of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin's Mitte district was modeled on the Acropolis of Athens and was built for King Frederick William II in 1788-91 by Carl Gotthard Langhans the Elder as a suitably magnificent terminal feature at the western end of Unter den Linden. The first Neo-Classical structure in Berlin, it is 26 m/85ft high (including the four-horse chariot), 65.5 m/215ft wide and 11 m/36ft deep. There are six Doric columns on each side, forming five passages. The central passage, which is 5.65 m/18.5ft wide, was reserved for the carriages of the royal court; the four side passages, each 3.8 m/12.5ft wide, were used by ordinary traffic. Doric ... More > columns also decorate the two buildings at each side of the Gate, which provided accommodation for toll-collectors and for soldiers and officers on watch. On Aug. 16, 1791, in the absence of the king and without any special ceremony, the Brandenburg Gate was opened to the public. Between 1861-68 Johann Heinrich Strack built new passages between the main gate and the two gatehouses, and provided the latter with open columned halls. The figures of Mars and Minerva also changed places. The forecourt facing west was remodeled in 1903. During the Second World War the Gate suffered very serious damage, and the lengthy restoration work took until 1958 to complete.Since the entry of the French troops in 1806 the magnificent Gate has been the scene of countless marches and parades. These include the triumphant marches by Prussian troops in 1864 when they returned from Denmark, in 1866 on the occasion of the campaign against Austria, and in 1871 when Prussia was victorious over the French and the German Empire was founded. At the start of the First World War the Berlin garrison passed ceremonially through the Brandenburg Gate, and on Jan 30, 1933 the storm troopers held a giant torchlight procession through the Gate to Wilhelmstrasse to celebrate Hitler's rise to power. Max Liebermann, who witnessed the scene from the window of his house, commented, "It makes me feel sick.'. Since the building of the Berlin Wall in August, 1961 the Brandenburg Gate became the symbol of the division of Berlin into East and West. A few weeks after the borders were re-opened on Nov. 9, 1989 the Gate was ceremoniously reopened on Dec. 22. Some nine months later, on Oct. 2, 1990, a great public celebration took place around the Brandenburg Gate to mark the unification of Germany and the reunification of Berlin.The main decoration on the Brandenburg Gate was by the native Berliner Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764-1850), who also designed the Quadriga on the top of the Gate. It was made by the Potsdam coppersmith Jury, whose niece Ulrike modeled for the statue of Irene, Goddess of Peace and later Victoria, Goddess of Victory who - holding the symbols of victory - drives the four-horsed chariot. Following the French victory at the Battle of Jena and Auerstedt in 1806 Napoleon ordered the Quadriga to be taken down and carried off to Paris. After the Wars of Liberation and the defeat of the French at the Battle of the Nations at Leipzig in 1813 von Blücher arranged for it to be returned to Berlin, where it was restored to its original place on Aug. 14, 1814, to the great delight of the Berliners. On the orders of the king, the Goddess of Peace received a new trophy - a garland of oak leaves surrounding the Iron Cross, crowned by the Prussian eagle - and was renamed Victoria. The first victory symbols were a helmet on a spear, a breast-plate and two shields. The imposing Quadriga was destroyed in the Second World War - the only fragment remaining was the head of one of the horses, which is now in the Märkisches Museum. With the aid of plaster models a new Quadriga was made and took the place of its predecessor in Sept. 1958. Shortly after, at the behest of the GDR authorities at the time, the Iron Cross and the Prussian Eagle were removed.Before the Second World War the Pariser Platz was a very busy area reaching right up to the Gate, with a large number of buildings, such as Max Liebermann's house, the French and British embassies and the legendary Hotel Adlon. Between 1961 and 1989 it was sealed off, but is now once again open to the public. The latest plans are to rebuild the square on its original lines.< LessHobbies & Activities category: Architecture - Roman, Greek, classical;  Town walls, fortifications, gates;  Historic site;  Standalone sculpture, statue or fountain

I'll start with a portion of snooty before having 'see me!' as a main course. Yes, this is known for tremendous attitude and as a place to go to be seen. Even the original restaurant that opened in the late-nineteenth… century (which was destroyed during the War) was a society snob and career politician hang-out. But that doesn't mean that the food isn't really worth it. The chocolate mousse cake is said to be among the best! [link]

Checkpoint Charlie

Newton

Classy bar named for legendary Berlin fashion photographer Helmut Newton whose pictures are all over the walls. The interior of black leather armchairs, oak tables and dark green marble counters and floors is perfectly complimented by the dramatic black and white shots of supermodels in various stages of undress. There's an upstairs cigar lounge where you can impress business guests or your dates over a brandy, fine wine and Cuban or Dom-Rep cigars, but we reckon you should sidle up to the half-moon shaped bar in the main lounge, order a martini or gin gimlet and check out the eye candy. There are good looking girls on stools, couches, armchairs and framed 18ft-tall on the walls.
