Historical Background
The historic centre of Berlin tells the story of Prussia and Germany within just a few hundred metres – from the Brandenburg Gate as a symbol of division and unity, via Bebelplatz as the site of the book burning of 1933, to the reconstructed Berlin City Palace with the Humboldt Forum.
The boulevard Unter den Linden connects these eras: Frederick the Great shaped it as a grand avenue, the Neue Wache serves as the central memorial to the victims of war and tyranny – and Museum Island as a UNESCO World Heritage Site preserves Prussia’s cultural legacy.
