Top 10 WW2 Sites to Visit in Berlin!

Ten Historic Soviet Sites of Berlin

As a result of World War 2 and its aftermath, the histories of the Soviet Union and Germany are inextricably linked.
Some of the most tumultuous world events of the 20th Century happened between these two countries, ultimately resulting in the division of Germany in 1945 and the Cold War for the next 44 years.

In 1990 Germany was reunified, and in 1991 The USSR, which at the time was the world's only other super power ,seemingly collapsed in weeks splitting into 16 independent states.

Now, well into the 21st Century we can still find remnants of that turbulent period in human history in present day Berlin.

This video is a 10 stop tour of historical 20th century soviet related sites in Berlin and their story.

Most Iconic Place to Visit in Berlin | Reichstag Building Dome Tour

#travel #berlin #fyp #reichstag #historicalplaces

Reichstag is one of Berlin's most famous landmarks and is situated near the south bank of the Spree River. Designed by Paul Wallot and built from 1884 until 1894 when the final stone was laid by Kaiser Wilhelm II. This building is adjacent to Tiergarten Park and North of the iconic Brandenburg Gate.

This building went through a massive fire 1933 and faced severe damages from World War 2 bombings. The partial restoration of the building started in 1970 with more extensive restoration happened after the reunification of West and East Germany in 1990.

Today, the Reichstag became a symbol of Germany's commitment to renewable energy. The Reichstag's iconic dome was designed to bathe the Bundestag chamber in natural light, and a massive solar array on its roof further increased the building's energy independence.

==========================================

The Berlin Wall was a guarded concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989.
Constructed by the German Democratic Republic, starting on 13 August 1961, the Wall completely cut off (by land) West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin until government officials opened it in November 1989.
Its demolition officially began on 13 June 1990 and finished in 1992.
The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, accompanied by a wide area that contained anti-vehicle trenches, fakir beds and other defenses.
In practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that had marked East Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period.
The West Berlin city government sometimes referred to it as the Wall of Shame, a term coined by mayor Willy Brandt in reference to the Wall's restriction on freedom of movement.
Along with the separate and much longer Inner German border (IGB), which demarcated the border between East and West Germany, it came to symbolize physically the Iron Curtain that separated Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War.
Before the Wall's erection, 3.5 million East Germans circumvented Eastern Bloc emigration restrictions and defected from the GDR, many by crossing over the border from East Berlin into West Berlin; from which they could then travel to West Germany and to other Western European countries.
Between 1961 and 1989 the Wall prevented almost all such emigration.
During this period around 5,000 people attempted to escape over the Wall, with an estimated death toll ranging from 136 to more than 200 in and around Berlin.
In 1989 a series of revolutions in nearby Eastern Bloc countries - Poland and Hungary in particular - caused a chain reaction in East Germany that ultimately resulted in the demise of the Wall.
After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on 9 November 1989 that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin.
Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the Wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere.
Over the next few weeks, euphoric people and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the Wall; the governments later used industrial equipment to remove most of what was left.
Contrary to popular belief, the Wall's actual demolition did not begin until the summer of 1990 and continued until 1992.
The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, which formally took place on 3 October 1990.
