Top 10 Architectural Buildings in Mitte, Germany
Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

The German Historical Museum presents itself in two buildings: In the unique Baroque Zeughaus and the neighbouring modern exhibition hall designed by the Chinese-American architect Ioeh Minh Pei. The 300-year old Zeughaus is one of the most important buildings of the Baroque period in Berlin and the oldest buildings at the boulevard Unter den Linden. In 2006 the Permanent Exhibition “German History in Images and Artefacts” was inaugurated here; it showcases 2000 years of eventful and enthralling German history as seen within its European context. 8000 selected objects from the extensive collections of the German Historical Museum furnish valuable evidence of history and reveal, on a surface area of 8000 square meters, a fascinating and vivid picture of the past. Supplementing the Permanent Exhibition are specialized temporary exhibitions displayed in the fascinating exhibition building designed by I.M. Pei. The spacious new structure with its glass and steel entrance lobby and distinctive winding staircase was opened in 2003. Definitive events and facets of German history are presented in a variety of special exhibitions on the four floors of the new building.

The Berlin TV tower was built by the Communist administration of East Berlin between 1965-1969 intended to be the pride of East Berlin and a new landmark of the city besides the Brandenburg Gate ; it is situated in the Alexanderplatz which now belongs to Berlin Mitte; it was initially 365 meters high but after 1990 an additional antenna was attached,so now it is 368 meters high; the view platform and the rotating cafe are at 204 meters and the cafe makes a complete rotation in 30 minutes ; it takes 40 seconds for the elevators to arrive here but there also are 985 steps which can be climbed ; it still is the fourth highest structure in Europe ,after Ostankino tower,Kiev tower and Riga tower ; the view is unique and in case of clear weather the view extends up to 42 kilometers ; the entrance is a little to expensive - 15,50 Euro ,which compared to the Communist ,is very expensive ; I can remember that in 1979,1981 and 1983 when I visited East Berlin the entrance was maybe about 10 Eastern Marks which were about 2,50 Western Marks or about 1,25 Euro...anyway ,who hasn’t visited it ,should do it ; until 1990 when the Wall existed,it was the highest excitement to visit the tower as it was the only possibility to see big sections of the wall and to see West Berlin which was some kind of forbidden city and everybody could be proud of having seen West Berlin at least from a distance and this was a special excitement ; now the excitement dissapeared and on a June evening when I visited Alexanderplatz , I was surprised of finding no line at the entrance to the tower; the line moved to the Reichstag Building where you have to book a visit online from home,before the journey as otherwise you have no chance of entering ; at the same time,I was surprised that the Palast der Republik which was the biggest performance hall in East Berlin ,also built when the tower was built,doesn’t exist anymore ; it was absolutely the biggest performance hall of entire Berlin with about 4,500 seats ; it was also the siege of the National Assembly of the German Democratic Republik ; due to the high asbestos content it was demolished in 2003 ; luckily,the TV tower wasn’t demolished too !

St. Nicholas Church has been a landmark in the Berlin city center for over 800 years. The natural-stone basement floors are the oldest rooms in Berlin. The museums permanent exhibition offers bright insights into the history of the church and the surrounding Nikolaiviertel (St. Nicholas' Quarter).
Reviewed By CATTSAR - Provincetown, United States
This is the oldest church in Berlin built in the early 13th century. It was originally Roman Catholic then Lutheran from 1539. In 1938 it was deconsecrated shortly before the start of WWII. Having been bombed and damaged during the war it remained in ruins until the 1980. Today the church is largely reconstructed serving as a museum. The museum now houses many artifacts from the church's long history as well as the Nicholas Quarter, the neighborhood where it is located. It is located in Nikolaikirchplatz. Beautiful church, beautiful area!
