"To think may evoke further thought, but to experience something brings it alive.” Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914), full name Paul Johann Ludwig von Heyse
Berlin time travel, the city of electricity. Berlin after 1870 – this era was characterized by numerous innovations of outstanding persons, above all the visionaries Werner von Siemens and Emil Rathenau. It went down in history as the second industrial revolution. The era of the electrical industry had started, and Berlin was its European epicenter. Electrically powered cabs/taxis, called “Droschke” in Berlin, increasingly dominated the scene in Berlin’s center. Most of these cabs/taxis were powered by electricity because in the early days of motorization combustion engines had to be cranked up, and so electrically powered vehicles were more convenient. Today, Berlin’s center is characterized by modern architecture, reflected in the state-of-the-art buildings of the government district and the revived Potsdamer Platz, amongst others.
Some of the most beautiful squares of Berlin are located at Friedrichstadt. The Gendarmenmarkt is characterized by three landmark buildings: German Cathedral (Deutscher Dom), French Cathedral (Französischer Dom), and Concert Hall (Konzerthaus). Another beautiful square along our route is Bebelplatz, which is the only square that has been restored to its original look. Famous buildings on the square include State Opera, St. Hedwig’s Cathedral and Old Library (nicknamed “chest of drawers”). The remaining part of a mast of overhead wiring behind the State Opera indicates that there used to be an important subway tunnel – the Linden Tunnel.
The Museum Island, built on what was originally swampland, was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 1999. The five museums on the Museum Island primarily house 19th century art and archeological collections. We will drive on Berlin’s magnificent boulevard Unter den Linden, which is currently not as magnificent as it used to be because there is a lot of construction work going on; however, you will still see many points of interest to the right and left of the road, and finally the symbol of Berlin: the Brandenburg Gate.
We will be delighted to be your chauffeur on this tour. We will show you around!
