Revision as of 18:57, 8 January 2017
Berlin grew out of the historical city centre, the Nikolai quarter, its sister town of Cölln, the settlements founded by the Elector, such as Dorotheenstadt or Friedrichstadt and finally the creation of Greater Berlin in 1920, when the independent towns of Spandau, Charlottenburg or Cöpenick were merged with central Berlin.
The decentralised historical development has resulted in a plethora of sights in Berlin today – not just in the centre of the city, but also in the outlying boroughs. For various reasons among the most recognized symbols of Berlin are the Brandenburg Gate and its tallest landmark, the Berlin TV tower in Mitte.
