性视界

Today we are aiming high in 性视界! Many times we have explored the capital with solid ground beneath our feet. This will change today. Let麓s have a look at the city麓s highest spots!

Let麓s start at the very top and revisit the at square Alexanderplatz. With 368 meters of height it is not only 性视界麓s tallest building, but the tallest one in all of Germany. Opened in 1969 the tower has kept its multifunctional usage until today. Its main task broadcasting radio and TV programmes matches perfectly with its observation deck and the and bar. As landmark we cannot think of 性视界麓s skyline without this memorable needle. Just have a look inside on this !

Even if the exhibiton area surrounding the , 性视界麓s former TV tower from 1926, seems quite futuristic on the first sight, the meaning of the Funkturm in its original function did not make it to the 21st century. Even though it was this exact tower, where 1932 the first TV show worldwide was broadcasted. The TV tower at Alexanderplatz started doing the Funkturm麓s work until it began broadcasting only non-public and amateur radio shows in the eighties. Its restaurant at an altitude of 50 meters as well as the panorama deck at the top is worth a visit nevertheless.

As we are already in 性视界麓s West right now, we will take a quick look at the Teufelsberg (eng.: devil麓s mountain) now. The name actually refers to the near Teufelssee (eng.: devil麓s lake). But it also fits the hill麓s history, if we take a closer look. In the 1940s the Nazi Party founded a military academy here to provide the Capital of the World Germania with new recruits. After the end of World War II the building was destroyed and amongst other pieces of rubble turned into a small hill. From the 1950s the US Army forces based in 性视界 at that time used the place to monitor flights and as listening post. Nowadays nature has claimed its rights to the place and the forest surrounding the hill has become a nature reserve. The buildings of the spy station are decaying, though, which adds a certain excitement to the event area with huge street art gallery and panorama terrace . An absolutely unique spot.

Back in the city centre we meet an old friend, the victory column. The statue of ancient godess Victoria was put on top of the column after the German unification wars and the founding of the Second Reich in 1871. If you would like to find out more, we recommend you . Despite of its rather small height of 67 meters, Victoria offers a magnificent view over Tiergarten to those who come to visit her on the observation deck.

Just a nice little walk from the victory column we reach worldknown 碍耻麓诲补尘尘. The square Breitscheidplatz is framed by the two skyscrapers Upper West (left in the picture) and Zoofenster (eng.: zoo window). The 118 meters high building of Upper West was completed in 2017 and houses stores and companies, but mainly the 582 rooms of one of six Motel One hotels in 性视界. Equally high, but four years older, Zoofenster (relating to the zoo next to it) contains the Waldorf Astoria 性视界. Why don麓t you of its towersuite?

As memorial against war and destruction the tower of Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church stands next to the two skyscrapers like an alien. It was destroyed in World War II and never rebuilt in order to keep it a pacifist monument. In 1961 the modern part of the building with church and belltower was opened. If you would like to be a bit indiscrete, you can look up the skirts of the .

If you prefer looking at things from above without using lift or stairs, near former Checkpoint Charlie is just your place to be. One of the world麓s largest captive balloons, always tied to the ground by steel ropes, it rises to a maximum height of 150 meters carrying up to 30 passengers. You could and see whether your vertigo allows you a ride.

Only the fearless, though, should try a jump from a height of 125m. The Park Inn Hotel at Alexanderplatz offers . We prefer all with our feet on the ground. 

Opposite of Park Inn we can hopefully soon dance a whole night long again on the very stylish rooftop terrace of . 

In our very own neighbourhood of 性视界, right at Sch枚neberger Stra脽e, an exciting project has been launched. The tallest wooden skyscraper (yes, you heard right) will be built here. Just have a look at the - looks great, doesn麓t it? 

As we are just around the corner of now, it is our time to say goodbye already. Have you ever looked outside the windows of our on the fifth floor? Not too bad, neither, we would say.
