Berlin, Dresden and the German exp.

No posts in a bit, got tied up in Berlin

Which, is an amazing city. For some reason I felt as though I may not enjoy the German people or Germany. I was wrong, Berlin and Germany are wonderful and the people are great.

Berlin: What a wonderful city, boasting a population of 3.5 million it is the largest and capital city of Germany, and the second largest city in the European Union. First documented in the thirteenth century, Berlin was successively the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945) The city is rich with life and they are on the throws of a new election.

This is a progressive city with a population able to revive a nation, just less than 20 years after the fall of the Berlin wall, this city is a Metropolis of Museums, research institutes, sports, orchestras, diverse architecture, nightlife, contemporary arts and the list goes on.

The German countryside is amazing, taking a train thus far from Berlin to Praha, along the River Elbe and through Dresden, yet another amazing German city.

Dresden: Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendour. The city was completely destroyed by the controversial Allied aerial bombing towards the end of World War II. The impact of the bombing and 40 years of urban development during the East German socialist era have considerably changed the face of the city.

After being placed on the list of endangered World Heritage Sites in 2006, the city had formally its status as world heritage site removed in June 2009, for the wilful breach of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, through the construction of highway bridge across the valley within one mile of the historic centre. It thereby became the first ever place in Europe to lose this status, and the second ever in the world.

Pictures are of Berlin and Dresden.
