6. Berlin Cathedral or Berlin Dom
From the history of Germany we
can see that the cathedral was
founded in 1465. But nowadays

attractions. The largest and most beautiful
royal palace still stands in the capital,
Charlottenburg was built as a summer
residence of Sophie Charlotte, the first
queen of Prussia, who was also the
namesake for the palace and the
surrounding area. Subsequent generations
of the royal family extended and rebuilt the
palace on the taste of its time. As a result,
the palace contains the interior, reflecting
several architectural styles: the old palace,
with its magnificent baroque state rooms
and the famous china cabinet, and a new
wing, built by Frederick the Great in 1742

9. Brandenbur
g gate
The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor) is an 18th-century neoclassical triumphal
arch in Berlin, and one of the best-known landmarks of Germany. It is built on the site of a
former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der
Havel.
It is located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin within Mitte, at the junction of Unter den
Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. One block to the north stands
the Reichstag buildingthat houses the German parliament (Bundestag). The gate is the monumental
entry to Unter den Linden, the renowned boulevard of linden trees, which led directly to the
royal City Palace of the Prussian monarchs.
It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a sign of peace and built by
architect Carl Gotthard Langhans from 1788 to 1791.

10. House of the
World's Cultures
The Haus der Kulturen der
Welt ("House of the World's Cultures")
in Berlin is Germany's national centre
for the presentation and discussion of
international contemporary arts, with a
special focus on non-European
cultures and societies. It presents art
exhibitions, theater and dance perform
ances, concerts,
author readings, films and academic
conferences on Visual Art and culture.
It is one of the few institutions which,
due to their national and international
standing and the quality of their work,
receive funding from the federal
government as so-called "lighthouses
of culture."

11. The building is located in the Tiergarten park and a direct neighbour of the Carillon and the
new German Chancellery. It was formerly known as the Kongresshalle conference hall, a gift
from the United States, designed in 1957 by the American architect Hugh Stubbins as a part of
the International Building Exhibition. John F. Kennedy spoke here during his June 1963 visit
to West Berlin.[1] On May 21, 1980 the roof collapsed killing one and injuring numerous people.
The hall was rebuilt in its original style and reopened in 1987 in time for the 750 year
anniversary of the founding of Berlin. To Berliners it is also known as theSchwangere
Auster ("pregnant oyster").
Outside the entrance, Henry Moore's heaviest bronze
sculpture, Large Divided Oval: Butterfly (1985-86), stands in
the middle of a circular basin. Weighing nearly nine tons, it was
his final major work, completed just before he died. One of
three public Moore sculptures in Berlin (the others being Three
Way Piece No.2: The Archer (1964-65) at the Neue
Nationalgalerie and Reclining Figure (1956) at the Akademie
der Künste), Butterfly was initially a loan to (then West) Berlin
in 1986, but the city council wanted the sculpture permanently,
and asked Moore if he would donate it. The letter arrived just
before his death and went unanswered. In 1988 it was sold by
the Henry Moore Foundation to Berlin for 4.5 million Deutsche
Mark (around $2.58 million at the exchange rate of the day),
then a huge sum for a public sculpture. The sculpture was
eventually badly damaged by a combination of environmental
pollution and vandalism, and restored in 2010.

The Humboldt University of
Berlin (German: Humboldt-Universität zu
Berlin, HU Berlin) is one of Berlin's
oldest universities, founded on 15 October
1810 as the University of
Berlin (Universität zu Berlin) by the
liberal Prussian educational reformer and
linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt, whose

other European and Western universities.
From 1828 it was known as the Frederick
William University (Friedrich-Wilhelms-
Universität), and later (unofficially) also as
the Universität unter den Linden after its

University of Berlin was one
of eleven German
universities to win in
the German Universities
Excellence Initiative, a
national competition for
universities organized by the
German Federal
Government. The university
has educated 29 Nobel Prize
winners and is considered
one of the most prestigious
universities in Europe over

prestigious universities
worldwide for arts and
humanities.

its name to Humboldt-
