History of Berlin
The first reference about the city of Berlin is somewhere in the beginning of the first millennium. It was then a small commercial town belonging to the Kingdom of Brandenburg. Later it became the center of the Prussian Empire. And later on the Capital of the German Empire. And towards the end of the second millennium the Capital of the Third Reich.
After the fall of the Nazi regime in 1945, burnt and almost completely devastated. The allies (United States, Soviet Union, United Kingdom and France) occupy the Berlin. And made divisions of the city into four sections. Following the conflict between the communists and the capitalists reaching its peak in 1961 the city divide again. This time it was into two parts: East Berlin (communist) and West Berlin (democratic). Both parts were separate by the famous Berlin Wall. It portrays the city’s character and the character of the whole country in a complete different way.
The wall was under-construction in the heart of Berlin and completely separated between the two parts. The subway lines were shut down, subway stops close to the border were close. And the control over the crossover was tight significantly. Over the years, the Eastern part of Berlin became the most depressive in Germany – poor, devastated and gray, while the Western part was thriving and blooming. In November 1989, the Berlin Wall fell -both parts of Berlin were reunified and the city became the Capital of a reunited Germany.
