German city intruduction-Berlin A city with a combination of history and culture Part One
Since the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990, Berlin has undergone a huge development. Being not at all what one would call “typically German”, you will soon be caught by its extraordinary atmosphere.
With around 3.5 million inhabitants Germany’s capital is by far the biggest city of the country. The fact that nearly 15% of them are originally from a foreign country accounts for Berlin’s special charm. In difference to nearly every other European capital, Berlin is rather one of the cheaper cities to live in, but there is a huge difference between seperate districts.
The government district
Situated next to the Pariser Platz, the Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate) is one of the best known landmarks of Germany (you can even see it on the German 10, 20 and 50 cent coins). The only sustained town gate became a symbol for the reunification since the Berlin Wall used to run right through it - separating the eastern from the western part of Berlin for nearly thirty years. Its architecture is inspired by the Acropolis in Athens. The political district is located all around this impressive building.

Within a few minutes walk from the Brandenburg Gate you can reach the Reichstag, home of the Bundestag (German Parliament). With the relocation of all governmental affairs from Bonn to Berlin in 1999 the building was completely renovated and reopened. You can walk inside the glassy dome of the building for free. Around the Reichstag many governmental buildings have been sited, for example the Bundeskanzleramt (German Chancellery).
