Historical Background
The Kurfürstendamm – known as Ku’damm – has been West Berlin’s grand boulevard since the late 19th century and was modelled on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. During the Golden Twenties the boulevard was the pulsating heart of the Weimar Republic: artists, intellectuals and nightlife thrived in legendary cafés and variety theatres.
After the Second World War and the division of Berlin, the City West around the Memorial Church, KaDeWe and Bahnhof Zoo became the showcase of the West – a symbol of reconstruction, the economic miracle and freedom during the Cold War. Today Ku’damm connects history and modernity: historic Wilhelmine-era façades alongside contemporary architecture.
