Stop 2

Pariser Platz is a well-known square at the end of Unter den Linden. The Brandenburg Gate is the most famous sight in the square. Today, Paris Square is a popular place for tourists and locals. It hosts regular events and concerts that make the atmosphere lively and welcoming. The embassies of the United States and France are located. The famous Hotel Adlon also attracts many guests. For decades, the square was no longer recognizable. Destroyed during World War II, it was located in the border area of the divided city from 1961–1989 and was then rebuilt. Visitors can discover many other places of interest in the nearby area. The square is not only an important historical place, but also a symbol of reunification and common peace.

The French Embassy is located on Pariser Platz and was built according to designs by Parisian architect Christian de Portzamparc and Berlin architect Steffen Lehmann. The embassy building respects the specified eave height. The innovative design of the message not only promotes functionality, but also creates a dialogue between the interior and the surrounding urban landscape. Large window areas allow a wide-ranging view and insight.

The Brandenburg Gate is Berlin's most iconic landmark and a proud symbol of the German nation. A masterpiece of the early Classicist style, it was built as a triumphal gate commissioned by the Prussian king and is the only surviving city gate from 18 in Berlin. It marks the beginning of a new era of state-supporting architecture and was a symbol of division between East and West Berlin until the turn of the century. Since 1990, it has stood for overcoming this division and radiates a hopeful message that unites. In front of this grandiose building you can feel the history, emotions and memories it embodies – a true heart of Berlin.

The United States Embassy in Berlin is not only the official seat of the American mission abroad in Germany, but also a fascinating place that embodies the deep-rooted diplomatic relations between these two nations. Set in a modern new building on the lively Pariser Platz, just steps from the iconic Brandenburg Gate, the embassy exudes a special atmosphere. The history of these relationships dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and tells of a time when friendship and cooperation were the focus.

6

The Max Liebermann House, a fascinating landmark in Berlin-Mitte, is located at picturesque Pariser Platz 7, right next to the iconic Brandenburg Gate. This historic site was once the home and studio of the famous painter Max Liebermann, whose works shaped the German art scene.
After the devastating destruction of the Second World War, the ruins of the once magnificent house remained a painful sight for a long time, while the property lay unused for decades in the border area between East and West Berlin. But in the late 1990s this place experienced a remarkable rebirth: A new building was created, which was created as a critical reconstruction based on the historical model.
Today, the house is used by the Brandenburg Gate Foundation and is a vibrant place that combines history and culture.

Stop 7

March 18th Square is a fascinating place located at the eastern end of the famous June 17th Street and the sprawling Great Zoo. It is located on the western side in front of the iconic Brandenburg Gate, in the middle of Berlin’s vibrant Mitte district – a truly central and symbolic location. Historically, this car-free square is an impressive business card at the entrance to Old Berlin, where history comes alive.
It forms the charming counterpart to Pariser Platz, which sits to the east of the Brandenburg Gate, and was lovingly equipped with ornate paving, the historic Schupmann calenders and informative panels after the reunification of Germany. These details not only give the square a special character, but also make it a popular meeting place for visitors from all over the world.
