See Berlin before you die

Well, you saw quite a bit!


I hope, you didn't miss one of the best new buildings in Berlin



... which is unique not only, because Berlin is the only capital with three embassadies in one (more or less one) building: the Scandinavian Embassadies.

I saw that too and i also visited the heart of Stasi, Topografie des terrors, the zoo and much more


Berliner Dom i was on the roof there too and watched the View.


Sony Center


This is another soviet memorial site near Tiergarten just below the Reichstag


The world klock in Alexanderplatz


The tower in Alexanderplatz

I will go there again soon i love the capital it is the best capital i visited even better Than paris. and London.

This is great. hamburger and mrs. hamburger will be in Berlin in about a month. This should give them a few more ideas.

Walter, do you know who was the building's architect?

Relay, I am enjoying your photos a lot.

The Swedish embassady's architect is Gert Winghårdh.

Finland's
was created by Rauno Lehtinen, Pekka Mäki and Toni Peltola.

Nielsen, Nielsen + Nielsen were the architects of the Danish embassady


and finally - all situated at Rauchstrasse 1 - Norway's architect are from the office Snöhetta

The English website for this:
Embassy complex Klingelhoefer Triangle

Good to see you - I was in Sweden this summer - and you weren't there!

I was in Stockholm. then on the lake outside Kvicksund, and then Vattnass on Lake Orsa, in Darlarna

Well if you passed Vaxjö you could have. I have been relaxing this summer and traveled to Berlin in the end of July.

Wow, Walter, that last building is spectacular, not that the others aren't.

East Side Gallery about a Km left of the wall painted.

Could you please minimize your photos a bit?
They are making the site wide and wider :wink:

Thanks, Walter.

mrs. h and i are off to berlin on sept. 22 for a week, followed by a week in lugano(hope to take the palm express to st.moritz), the last 4 days we'll be in worms to meet with family coming up from hamburg before returning to the "hinterland". hbg.

uh oh
they found out? !

a must read/see book for anyone interested in the modern architecture of berlin is the book : BERLIN -new architecture - a guide to new buildings from 1989 to 2002 - michael imhof verlag, stettiner strasse 23, D - 36100 PETERSBERG, GERMANY INDEX : ISBN 3-935590-15-6 , price euro 13, more than 160 pages of 1st class photographs, it's published in english, i just gave it back to friends who visited berlin last fall and who are going back in september to enjoy the architecture and the museums. hbg

Walter, it is good to see that Goethe quote...

mrs. h and i will be leaving for berlin and destinations further on 22 sept. however , i'm getting a little nervous. a/t todays paper BOARS are starting to invade berlin. apparently they have been sighted on the alexanderplatz and are within one km of the KURFUERSTENDAMM ! yikes, that's where our hotel is. it stated that hunters had been issued permits to hunt down these 150 kg beasts. maybe i better get a hunting-license before leaving canada. instead of listening to the berlin philharmonic, perhaps we'll be listening to the HUNTING-HORN and WAIDMANNS-HEIL; wish us luck. hbg
