    THE CITY #THECITY#

    Heiko Bennewitz

    Berlin is one of Europes most fascinatingcities. Its range of culture and sights isastonishing. If anything makes the cityunique, its the fact that it defiesclassification. The chic luxury of theKrfurstendamm stands in contrast withKreuzbergs bohemian quarter and thefuturistic Potzdamer Platz in glass andsteel.In Berlin you can drink cocktails at the topof a skyscraper or red wine in a jazz cellar.Its a city with something for everyone.Since the fall of the wall in 1989, Berlinhas become a melting pot of innovationand futuristic thinking. Architects havebeen given the space to think new andlarge. Artists from all over the world cometo take in the inspiring atmosphere. Forgetthe Berlin only serving sausages andsauerkraut. Today you can find the bestsushi next to world class Italian cuisine.At the same time as the town breathes lifeand movement, Berliners have alwaysfound time for a Milchkaffee und ein StckKuchencoffee with milk and a slice ofcake. Berlin feels welcoming in a way fewother cities do.
