Berlin at a glance
Berlin, a city that until November 1989 was divided by the politics of the Cold War, encapsulates 20th century European history. But with a rich history dating back to 1247, and over 80 galleries, it is much more than just a symbol of the Iron Curtain.
Berlin history
Berlin is in good shape — and that's despite, not because of
its 800-year long history.

Berlin always makes history. It was the site of the 1936 Olympics,
the last one held until after World War II. At this Olympics, U.S.
runner Jesse Owens won a gold medal, infuriating Adolf Hitler
because he could not accept that an African-American man bested the
Nazi/Aryan athletes. Orientation:
Berlin is dually the largest city and the capital of Germany,
located in the heart of the country. Germany itself is located east
of Belgium and the Netherlands, west of Poland and north of
Austria.
