I've been there and it was the biggest disappointment on my Rundfahrt. Although, I went there with it having the reputation of "the world's youngest city" in my mind, due to the excess destruction in WW2, and then the further destruction/burying of remaining landmarks by the Allies and USSR and then by demolition of Cold War relics by the GDR and the successive government. I found the subsequent exhibits and memorials to be somewhat overwhelming - unfortunately so much of what Berlin was and what took place there is now just in photos and less so, memories... |
