This article is about the city in Germany. For other uses, see Berlin (disambiguation).'' AudioDe-Berlin.oggBerlin , International Phonetic AlphabetIPA: "bɛɐˈliːn">bɛɐˈliːn , is the capital citycapital of Germany and its largest city; the city is now home to 3.4 million residents, down from a peak of 4.5 million before World War II. From 1949 to 1990 it was divided into East Berlin and West Berlin.Berlin, built on sand, is located on the rivers Spree and Havel in the north of Germany.It is enclosed by the German States of Germanystate of Brandenburg, and has constituted a state of its own since 1920.

Political Berlin -

The state - Berlin used to be part of Brandenburg province of Prussia but was incorporated into ''Greater Berlin'' in 1920. Since German reunification on 3 October 1990 it has been one of the three city states, together with Hamburg and Bremen (state)Bremen, among the present 16 German ''States of GermanyBundesländer''. Berlin is governed by the Senate of Berlin, which consists of the ''Regierender Bürgermeister'' (governing mayor) and up to eight senators holding ministerial portfolios. The governing mayor is mayor of the city and representative of the ''Bundesland'' (state) at the same time. The seat of office for the Berlin Mayor is the Rotes Rathaus. Presently, this office is held by Klaus Wowereit (SPD): for earlier mayors, see the list of Mayors of Berlin.The city and state parliament is called the ''Abgeordnetenhaus'' or House of Representatives. The current Senate consists of a coalition of the Social democracysocial democrat Social Democratic Party of GermanySPD and the Socialismsocialist Left Party (Germany)Left Party.

The boroughs - Berlin is subdivided into 12 boroughs, called ''Bezirke,'' which were created from the previously existing 23 boroughs, effective since 1 January 2001. For a map and a list of the old and new borough names, see Boroughs of Berlin.Each borough is governed by a ''Bezirksamt'' consisting of five ''Stadträte'' (town councillors) and a mayor. The ''Bezirksamt'' is elected by the district-parliament, the !''Bezirksverordnetenversammlun g''.The? Boroughs of Berlin are not independent municipalities, and the political power of the district-parliaments is fairly minimal and dependent on the ''Senate of Berlin''.The district mayors form the council of mayors, called ''Rat der Bürgermeister'' under the leadership of the ''Regierende Bürgermeister'' (governing mayor), to advise the ''Senate''.

Population - Berlin has 3,426,000 inhabitants (as of January 2005) on a surface of 891.75 square kilometres, thus, the population density of the region amounts to 3,811 inhabitants per square kilometre. Berlin citizens' average age is 41.7 years (as of 2004). 450,900 inhabitants are foreigners coming from 185 states (as of December 2004). Among them, approximately 36,000 citizens come from the nearest neighbouring country, Poland and 119,000 are Turkish - Berlin has the largest Turkish municipality in Europe outside of Turkey. According to official statistics, in 2004, 22.3% of the population were Protestants, 9.1% were Catholics, 6.2% were Muslims, and 0.4% were Jews.Between approximately the 1890s and the mid-1920s, Berlin was the fourth-largest urban area in the world after New York CityNew York, London, and Paris. Today, it is only the sixth-largest Largest urban areas of the European Unionurban area in the European Union, and approximately the 80th-largest urban area in the world.

Berlin today -

Tourist attractions - in Berlin]]Even though Berlin does have a number of impressive buildings from earlier centuries, the city's appearance today is mainly shaped by the key role it played in Germany's history in the 20th century. Each of the national governments which had their seat in Berlin — the 1871 German Empire, the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany, East Germany, and now the reunified Germany — initiated ambitious construction programs, each with its own distinctive character. Berlin was devastated by bombing raids during World War II, and many of the old buildings that escaped the bombs were eradicated in the 1950s and 1960s in both West and East. Much of this destruction was caused by overambitious architecture programs, especially to build new residential or business quarters and main roads. It would not be an exaggeration to say that no other city in the world offers Berlin's unusual mix of architecture, especially 20th-century architecture. The city's tense and unique recent history has left it with a distinctive array of sights.Not much is left of the Berlin Wall. The East Side Gallery in Friedrichshain near the ''Oberbaumbrücke'' over the Spree preserves a portion of the Wall. By looking at the architecture it is still possible to tell if one is in the former eastern or western part of the city. In the eastern part, many ''Plattenbauten'' can be found, reminders of Eastern Bloc ambitions to create complete residential areas with fixed ratios of shops, kindergartens and schools. Another difference between former east and west is in the design of little red and green men on pedestrian crossing lights (''Ampelmännchen'' in German); the eastern versions received an opt-out during the standardization of road traffic signs after re-unification, and have survived to become a popular icon in tourist products. They are however starting to appear in western Berlin too.

Historical sights in the city centre - (June 2003)]] (Summer 2000)]]

Cold War and sightseeing in the former East Berlin -

The Palast der Republik, the old East German parliament building. It is seen by some as ugly, former East Berliners remember with affection restaurants, shops, clubs, and the concerts that took place there in the 1980s. Although it has some significance as a historical tourist attraction, the German Parliament voted for its demolition, which will commence in 2005. The Palast der Republik is built on the site of the Berlin City Palace, which was demolished in 1950 by the history of East GermanyCommunists. The Palace Square was renamed Marx-Engels-Platz at the same time.

The Fernsehturm, the TV tower, the highest building in the city at 368 m (1207 ft), and the second largest structure in Europe (after Moscow's Ostankino Tower). The Fernsehturm is easily visible throughout most of the central districts of Berlin.

The museum, which is a private venture, exhibits interesting material about people who devised ingenious plans to leave the East, but is controversial in the city for its propagandistic Cold War didactics and publicity stunts that many consider tasteless.

Sights of modern Berlin -

Potsdamer Platz, an entire quarter built from scratch after 1995. The historic Potsdamer Platz was not rebuilt as it was divided by the Wall. A must-see for people who like modern city planning.

Hackescher Markt, Spandauer Vorstadt and Scheunenviertel, the home to fashionable culture, with countless small clothing shops, clubs, bars, and galleries. This includes the New Synagogue area in Oranienburger Straße (originally built in the 1860s in Moorish style with a large golden dome and reconstructed in 1993), and the Hackesche Höfe, a conglomeration of several buildings around several courtyards, nicely reconstructed after 1996. This area was a centre of Jewish culture up until the 1930s.

Famous streets and boulevards -

Unter den Linden is the street that heads east from the Brandenburg Gate. Many Classical buildings line the street. Part of Humboldt University is located there.

Friedrichstraße, Berlin's legendary street of the "Golden Twenties" which combines the tradition of the last century with modern architecture of today's Berlin.

Kurfürstendamm (Ku'damm), with the !Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirc he? (Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church), which lies right at the top end of Kurfürstendamm, on Breitscheidplatz (underground station Kurfürstendamm). The church was bombed out in World War II and its ruins have been preserved in their damaged state. Near by is the Ka-De-We Berlin's equivalent to London's Harrods. Also nearby is the Zoologischer Garten Berlin Zoologischer Garten, a zoo with a large number of species.

The Straße des 17. Juni connects the Brandenburg Gate in the East and Ernst-Reuter-Platz in the West, commemorating the uprisings in East Berlin of 17 June 1953. It features the golden ''Siegessäule'' (Statue of Victory), which used to stand in front of the ''Reichstag (building)Reichstag''.

The Karl-Marx-Allee (formerly Stalinalle), a boulevard lined by monumental landmark buildings designed in the Socialist Classicism of the Stalin era. It is located in Friedrichshain and Mitte.

Street Lighting - Berlin is unique in that it still has around 43,800 gas lamp standards in working order, usually to be found on back streets and historically sensitive places.The first 1,800 lanterns were erected by the English Gas Company in 1826. Operation of the Gas lamps was taken over by the City Authorities in 1847. The first electric street lighting appeared around 1880. Between 1963 and 1982 replacement of the gas lamps in East Berlin was completed apart from a few remaining streets in Köpenick. In West Berlin the reverse was the situation, new styles of gas lamp standards being introduced as late as the 1950s. There was a debate in the late 1970´s on whether replacement with electric lighting should go ahead, but public opinion was against it. This debate was revived again in 2005, due to rising costs of gas, but no definite decision on replacement has been made.There is an open-air collection of working gas lamps in Tiergarten near to S-Bahnhof Tiergarten, which as well as displaying historic examples from Berlin and other German cities also has examples from other European cities. dtmb.de

The Arts and Culture - After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 many buildings in the former city centre of East Berlin (today the district Mitte) were renovated. Many had not been rebuilt since World War II. Illegally occupied by young people, they had become a fertile ground for all sorts of underground and counter-culture gatherings. It was also home to many nightclubs, including Tacheles, Techno musicTechno clubs ''Tresor'', ''WMF'', ''Ufo'' and ''E-Werk''.The art scene in Berlin is extremely rich and it is home to hundreds of art galleries. The city is host to the Art Forum annual international art fair. Berlin also offers one of the most diverse and vibrant nightlife scenes in Europe. Most Berliners take great pride in their city's reputation as one of the most socially progressive cities on the continent. presse.tk - Source: PressBerlin's annual Karneval der KulturenCarnival of Cultures, a multi-ethnic street parade, and Gay PrideChistopher Street Day celebrations, Central Europe's largest gay-lesbian pride event, are openly supported by the city's government.*!berlin-tourist-information.de< /a>**? !berlin-tourist-information.de< /a>.Another event is the Techno musictechno-demonstration "Loveparade" (every year in July or August). Despite the city's high unemployment levels, a significant number of young Germans and artists continue to settle in the city, and Berlin has established itself as the premiere centre of youth and pop culture in Europe.Signs of this expanding role were the 2003 announcement that the annual Popkomm, Europe's largest music industry convention, would move to Berlin after 15 years in Cologne. Shortly thereafter, German (language)German MTV also decided to move its headquarters and main studios from Munich to Berlin. Universal Music opened its European headquarters on the banks of the River Spree in an area known as the mediaspree.de - mediaspree.

Film Industry and Films about Berlin - Berlin is the centre of the German Film Industry, partly due to the existence of the Babelsberg Studios and many important film and TV production companies like UFA, Senator Film, Goldkind etc. Many international movies and European co-productions have been filmed there.

Railway Termini - Berlin was, pre-1945, the hub of the central European railway network. World War Two and the political division of Germany had very negative effects on the railway network in Berlin. Today only two pre-1945 Termini, Berlin OstbahnhofOstbahnhof and Berlin-Zoologischer Garten stationZoologischer Garten, remain in service. In the early 1950s, in an effort by the East German government to isolate West Berlin, railway services were diverted away from termini in West Berlin . These stations became disused and were demolished during the 1950s and 1960s.

Hafen Berlin NeuköllnHafen Neukölln ''(Port Neukölln)'' - with only 19,000 m² the smallest port; transshipment of building materials.

Power Supply - The power supply of Berlin has some peculiarities. In World War II it was planned to supply the grid of Berlin over an HV DC-underground cable from Dessau power station . The construction of this facility was begun in 1943, but was abandoned (see Elbe-Project).During the time of the division, the power grid of former West Berlin was cut off from the power grid of the surrounding countryside. Electricity supply was from thermal power stations in the city (Reuter, Wilmersdorf ,etc.). For buffering the load peaks, accumulators were installed in the 1980s in some of these power stations, which were connected by static inverters to the power grid and were loaded during times of low power consumption and unloaded during times of high consumption. In 1993 the power connections to the surrounding country, which were broken in 1951, were restored again. In the western districts of Berlin nearly all power lines are underground cables - only a 380 kV and a 110 kV-line, which run from Reuter power station to the urban motorway, are overhead lines. In Berlin there is the longest 380 kV three phase cable, the 380kV-crossing Berlin. It may be the most expensive power line in Germany (seo.ag - SEO).

Berlin hosted the 1936 Summer Olympics1936 Olympics.

Berlin will be one of the host cities for the Wc2006 , to be held in Germany.

CorleeMad
Sexy Rock from Berlin! Yet another rock band? No, not this time. CorleeMad is a sublime combination of hard-driving rock, sensual ballads and powerful live performance. You'll know within a few seconds of hearing the first track, this is not just another rock band. Frontperson, Cora Lee, delivers provocative lyrics in a powerful, colorful and sexy style all her own. Her uniqueness suggests no influences at all, but her technical proficiency convinces the listener that this is one singer who has been doing this for a long, long time. It's rare you find a woman that can deliver with the strength of the best of the men. Cora Lee is the kind of “secret weapon” other bands wish they had. Most songs are written by guitarist Alex Mann and Cora Lee, though the entire band contributes to arrangements. This combination of different styles, sounds and musical backgrounds really sets this band apart. But make no mistake: CorleeMad is all about rock and roll. Ballads with beautiful melodies, pierced by outstanding guitar solos that remind you this is pure rock. Bass and drums provide the solid, stomach-punching foundation. This is one groove that gets in your ears and your body. In times when you’re overloaded by “routine” pop bands, CorleeMad presents inspiring music, not just for your ears, but also for your eyes.

artberlinart
Das Charakteristikum der Kunst Andreas Hensels ist die in der Imagination präformierte Bildidee, die danach drängt, Form oder Gestalt zu werden. Dies zu wissen ist von Bedeutung, denn nur so kann man verstehen, weshalb der Künstler sich, anders als ein Teil seiner Kollegenschaft, keinem bestimmten Medium verpflichtet fühlt. Je nach den Erfordernissen der Idee bedient er sich der Malerei, der Collage, der Tusch- oder Federzeichnung, partiell der Fotografie und auch auch des Objekts und Mischtechniken, die die genannten Mittel kombinieren. Diese Disponibilität von Technik und Material lässt sein Werk mühelos in die visuelle Erfahrung eines modernen Menschen integrieren, die vom Film- und Computerbild geprägt ist. Anders ausgedrückt: Hensel simuliert mit konventionellen Gestaltungsweisen die Welt der flüchtigen und virtuellen Bildwirklichkeit.
