Why Berlin?

Few cities reflect German history as densely as Berlin. As the residence of the Prussian kings and, from 1871, capital of the German Empire, it grew into a metropolis. Divided after the Second World War, the city was split by the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989. Since reunification in 1990 Berlin has again been the capital of Germany, and since 1999 the seat of the Bundestag. Museum Island has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.
