In 1905 Albert Einstein, who was then a 26-year-old employee of the Swiss Patent Office in Bern, published four scientific papers which among other things solved the long-standing problem of Brownian motion and introduced the totally new theory of Special Relativity. The 100th anniversary of these papers is the occasion for numerous exhibitions on Einstein and his life and work.
Here at the Humboldt University in Berlin is where Einstein worked (and occasionally also lectured) from 1914 to 1932.

Potsdam is not just a suburb of Berlin, but a major city in its own right. In former times it was the summer residence of Friedrich the Great, whose palace and park "Sanssouci" are still major tourist attractions. Potsdam is now the capital of the Land of Brandenburg.
The Adult Education Center in Potsdam is named after Albert Einstein, who had numerous connections to this city. There has been an "Einstein Tower" in Potsdam since 1921, and an "Einstein Institute" since 1924. Einstein himself had a summer house in Caputh, near Potsdam, starting in 1929.

I haven't been in Berlin since the wall came down - thanks for reminding me that I really should go back there to see how much it's changed. And when I do I'll definitely put the Jewish museum on my itinerary! | nomorewars Thu Jul 17, 2008 13:39 UTC
I fell in love with Berlin upon my very first visit. Having a keen interest in labor history, I was overwhelmed with the vast amount of information I unearthed. The Love Parade wasn't too bad either. | MM212 Wed Mar 19, 2008 23:24 UTC
Berlin is high on my list, though I'm uncertain when I'll get to go. Thanks for sharing these great tips and photographs. Cheers! | LoriPori Mon Mar 10, 2008 22:45 UTC
Very informative Berlin page. I think I would really enjoy the musical instruments museum. |
