In-Depth Information
his is one part of town where there's little point in trying to spot prewar remains, as
there's almost no trace of what stood here before 1945. Whole streets have vanished -
the open area around the base of the TV tower, for example, used to be a dense
network of inner-city streets - and today only a few survivors like the
Marienkirche
and
Rotes Rathaus
remain amid the modernity.
he nearby
Nikolaiviertel
is a pedestrian quarter that recreates a portion of Berlin's
destroyed medieval heart. It is also home to the
Zille Museum
, which sketches out the
life and work of cartoonist and satirist Heinrich Zille. he Nikolaiviertel backs onto an
attractive stretch of the
River Spree
from where riverside paths join to form a loop past
interesting modern buildings, including the
Dutch Embassy
, a clutch of secluded old
buildings beside a stretch of Berlin's medieval first wall (built to keep people out rather
than in) and the
Märkisches Museum
, where you can flesh out some of the city's history.
