Travel To Berlin: A Cultural Evolution
by Frank Johnson
It is difficult to think of a modern industrialized
city that has been through quite as much
upheaval and stress in recent times as Berlin.
The German capital has been undergoing a
massive reunification effort and cultural
explosion since 1989 that has held an
awe-inspired and utterly captivated audience
of visitors since then. No other city offers such
an intimate understanding of the complexities
and atrocities of world war than once-divided
Berlin.
Despite the destruction of the Berlin Wall in
1989, East and West Berlin are still two very
distinct regions.

Despite the destruction of the Berlin Wall in
1989, East and West Berlin are still two very
distinct regions.
A stroll through Berlin's charming streets is the best
way to experience the time warp from which many
parts of the city are slowly emerging. Berlin Mitte is
the central region, offering the most restaurants,
shopping and attractions. Everywhere in Berlin,
visitors are surprised by the expanse of green,
beautiful spaces and parkland.
Society of Expression and Celebration
Berlin's Cold War generation has flowered from
suppressed beginnings into a flourishing world of
creative expression. A cutting-edge culture has
boomed onto the international stage in the form of
festivals and celebrations after 50 years of silence.
As the summer season wanes, Berlin hosts the
annual Art Forum Berlin in September and October,
which showcases trendsetting and fresh
contemporary art from all over the world, including
Australia, Latin America and the USA. Attendees
may also participate in seminars and workshops
focused on the art of tomorrow. The Berlin
International Film Festival (Berlinale), held in
February, rivals its Italian and French competitors
with acclaimed submissions and coveted awards.
The most massively unifying and culturally eclectic
celebration is Berlin's renowned Love Parade.
Initiated with a mere 150 people in 1989 as a
display of love, tolerance and an homage to
electronic music, this gargantuan festival of DJs and
dancers aboard competitive floats makes its
journey down Berlin's Großen Stern to finally gather
at the Victory Column where the party ensues into
the night.

A History Not Forgotten
Despite the exemplary movement forward by the
citizens, including an affinity for nightlife, Berliners
make a special point to capture and embrace their
harsh (and ancient) history. The Jüdisches
Museum is the largest Jewish history museum in
Europe.; The museum not only covers the
victimization of Jews in German history, but largely
celebrates their contributions to German society,
art, science and technology. The museum itself,
designed by Daniel Libeskind, is a stunning
example of modern minimalism. Also, be sure to
visit the Checkpoint Charlie Museum, which
documents the historical significance of the
Checkpoint Tower that was used to patrol the “no
man's land” of the Berlin Wall between the east
and west. The museum also offers an interesting
collection of stories from escapees and those who
helped them across the border. For a more
extensive history, visit the Berlin Historical
Museum, which covers Berlin's modest beginnings
as two farm towns straddling a river up to modern
day with a special exhibit on 20th century portraits.
Traveling the Berlin of today is a journey through
time unparalleled by any other European city.
Witness the remarkable hardiness and
overflowing spirit of a city that is growing,
changing and unifying right before your very eyes!
