Berlin, Germany


Dating to the 13th century, Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany. Historically, Berlin was the capital of Prussia in 1871; following World War II and Germany’s division into East and West, Bonn was briefly the capital of West Germany. Once the nation was reunified in 1990, Berlin was formally recognized as the capital. A vote in 1991 solidified the decision; the Bundestag relocated from Bonn to Berlin. The Brandenburg Gate, built during the reign of Friedrich Wilhelm II in the eighteenth century, is a defining symbol of both the city’s division and unification.
Visitors and residents experience history in Berlin. Beyond the Reichstag Building, the Holocaust Memorial, and the Memorial of the Berlin Wall, the Pergamonmuseum and specialty museums on Museum Island offer insight into Middle Eastern civilizations, emphasizing historical and cultural heritage. The Friedrichstadt-Palast features more than 100 artists on the largest theatre stage in the world.
