The Capital of Unified Germany

by Tom_Fields - last update: Feb 27, 2009

A City in Transition

Berlin
When I visited Berlin, it was clearly a city making the transition from the bitterly divided one of the Cold War to the exciting new capital of a re-unified Germany. Construction cranes crowded the skyline. But there were still palpable differences between the former eastern and western parts. Western Berlin was more vibrant, and had more going on. I'm sure that has been changing.
Where the Wall once stood

No Longer Divided

The Berlin Wall's outline is still marked. You can see this all over the city, as a reminder of what was. The city is moving forward, but still mindful of its history.
