Berlin has established itself as a leading cultural and artistic capital in Europe. Every year, it attracts ten million visitors to its city center, home to more than 150 museums, some 140 libraries, and nearly 60 theaters. Creators flock there from all over the world, transforming it into a melting pot of creativity reminiscent of 1980s New York. Constantly being redeveloped or rebuilt, it owes its vitality to a history as turbulent as it is unique. Since the 12th century, the city has successively been the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia (1701-1871), the German Empire (1871-1918), the Weimar Republic (1919-1933), and the Third Reich (1933-1945), then divided into two sectors during the Cold War, before regaining its unity after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Its architectural and urban heritage reflects these pages of history, both glorious and dark, this destiny that has given the city its contemporary, cosmopolitan, and dynamic character. This lavishly illustrated monograph, featuring more than 500 reproductions, invites you to explore this fascinating city of art and history. From the Brandenburg Gate to Charlottenburg Palace, via the Saint-Nicolas district, Museum Island, Potsdamerplatz, Karl-Marx Allee, the Reichstag, not forgetting the many gardens and the remains of the Wall, Berlin art historian Godehard Janzing reveals this world city in all its facets.
