Indeed, have you gone <BR> into the web site of the Technical University Berlin, <BR> http://www.a.tu-berlin.de/default.html, found the School of <BR> Architecture, and put the question by e-mail to them? <BR> Perhaps you'll get no reply in vacation, but it's worth a try. <BR> <BR> As a tourist, I find the work now completed at Potsdamer <BR> Platz very fine, including the S-Bahn and Regional line <BR> railway stations underground. . Obviously, you'd think of <BR> including the Reichstag, and you might look besideit to the <BR> scool, housing, and offices for the membersof parliam4ent <BR> and the ministers. <BR> <BR> I'm much taken with the current work on the new central <BR> railway station at Lehrter Bahnhof. There may well be a <BR> display at the Berlin Town Hall, next to the Alexanderplatz, of <BR> current planning. <BR> <BR> A website with pictures of the Reichstage and the <BR> Kongresshall is <BR> http://userpage.chemie.fu-berlin.de/...erlin-reg.html <BR> <BR> <BR> Important postwar buildings include the housing in the <BR> Hansaviertel, from 1955 to57, the pregnant oyster of the <BR> Kongresshalle, and the soaring Philharmonie. On a much <BR> smaller scale, the restoration of the church on the <BR> Blucherplatz, near theU Bahn station for Hallesches Tor, is a <BR> marvel of clear thinking. You can have a glass of wine or a <BR> filled roll at an outdoor table in the church cafe. <BR> <BR> Good luck with the Technical University people. And please <BR> write to me if I can help further. <BR> <BR> Ben Haines, London <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

Ah, but the question has subtly changed. To my list of twentieth century work I would now add the great Schinkel, especially his building in the Charlottenburg Palace grounds and the Theatre, now used as concert hall,just off Unter den Linden. <BR> <BR>Ben Haines

Guten abend, Marina <BR>The Brandenburg Tor (Gate) is just some steps away from the Reichstag. You should wait for some hours for going up the Reichstag dome, both day and night, different feeling! <BR>Don't ignore the huge Tiergarten, walking along to Siegel Saule (spelling?) or The Victory Monument. <BR>What's about the Remnant of the Wall, the end of U-bahn towards Warschauer Strasse, and walking along the wall and return back by S-bahn at Ostbahnhof. <BR> <BR>Also, at the city centre, the Memorial Church, cannot remember its name. <BR> <BR>Enjoy your time, i do love berlin. <BR>
