Berlin

"The Gray City"

Country

Germany

Centuries ago, Berlin was a modest trading town along the River Spree. The Teutonic Knights built a fortification here in the 13th century, laying the foundation for what would become a city of great significance.

Over centuries, Berlin evolved from the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg to the capital of a unified Germany. In the 18th century, the enlightened rule of Frederick the Great transformed the city into a hub of arts, culture, and Enlightenment philosophy.

However, Berlin's history bears witness to both triumphs and tribulations. The 20th century saw the city at the epicenter of global events, from the tumultuous days of the Weimar Republic to the horrors of World War II and the division of East and West during the Cold War.

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked a historic turning point, reuniting a city divided for decades. Today, Berlin is a vibrant metropolis, where the scars of history coexist with thriving creativity, offering explorers a tapestry of experiences, from the remnants of the Berlin Wall to the majestic Brandenburg Gate, a testament to the city's enduring spirit.
