Today I left Berlin and spent the last day as always taking pictures, speaking with locals and searching for the best restaurant in town. Well, I was unlucky enough to forget the time and left Berlin without having dinner at all. Taking pictures takes time! Enjoy the second part of my Berlin trip through my lens.
The following pictures were taken in Berlins government district. Here you can see the Reichstagsgebaeude where you will find the Deutscher Bundestag as well as the Band des Bundes where you can find the Bundeskanzleramt
A very magnificent place with incredible architecture. Perhaps one of the cleanest areas in Berlin. From there I took the bike to visit the old border that divided Berlin into an eastern and western part.
Some of you asked me what camera and lens I use. I took all the pictures with my Nikon D750 and the lens you will see below. Furthermore I used a 50mm f/1.4 lens to take the picture of the other lens.
This is the old border which divided Berlin. It's quite a sad story because many people lost their lives at this place. If you tried to cross the border without permission they shot you. It was also called the Todesstreifen (death strip). Luckily these times are over and today there is a memorial in commemoration of the victims.
Berlin itself is like a huge history book. Wherever you go you will encounter historic sites. I personally like this since we never should forget the past. The key to the future lies in the past and we should never repeat the mistakes we did.
Thanks for following me on my journey and see the world through my lens. Soon I will travel to Sweden and Greece. There is a little surprise for you. The first one to guess correctly what I got will receive 10 Steem Dollars. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me where your last travel destination was and how you liked this post.
Tim
On the eleventh attempt I finally pronounced Reichstagsgebaeude correctly lol.
Hope Greece and Sweden will improve your mood a little bit after thinking about tragical events of the past.

I didn't even think about that. I'm sure at some point out and about you tend to try and visualize what happened there. Definitely tragic. Never again.

I hope that the rest of Europe also won't forget the past. The destruction of Europe by the Germans. Not all countries had the privilege to rebuilt what was lost during world war 2

One of the things I remember most about Germany is that the people there don't seem to litter. Every thing is clean even the Marktplatz (Market Place) there would be thousands of people walking around, shopping, drinking beer and not a piece of litter to be seen.

The old border story is sad, we have a similar story like that here in the Philippines. They shot men when they try to escape the death march during world war 2. But that's a thing of a past, all we have are memories and I am grateful we have freedom now. :-D

I spent my summer in Italy and France- I wish I had a chance to visit Germany. Your photos are absolutely beautiful! It is really cool to see photos of the Berlin Wall as it is now- My parents were stationed there before it was pulled down, and my little brother was born in Frankfurt. All our photos from that time only show one side of the wall.

How I miss the long German word which hardly to pronounce 😁😁 . I was always wonder about the famous Reichstagsgebaeude.
I was in Berlin for seminar and that was freezing winter. Been to some historical side, but still had to skip this one. Unfortunately, living for couple years in Germany but missing lots of fun part 😂😂

Hi @timsaid, I love the contrast between the historic and modern architecture. And, regarding the wall... It's wild to think that families, neighbors and friends lived such different lives depending on which side they ended up. I hope they protect the wall's integrity, because you're right, we need to remember the past so the same won't happen again.

Where I live, the city of Banda Aceh today without soul, without specificity, and evolves towards the inauguration of its disconnection with the past. It is in this condition that thousands of graves of Aceh Darussalam heritage - which are the most prominent artefactual traces in the list of heritage of Aceh's heritage besides manuscripts of science manuscripts and other historic objects - now appear to be separated and far removed from the time Who acknowledged it. The graves, as well as other historical objects, seemed to have been swept away by a mighty time and then stranded in a place that was not the cultural context; Not acknowledged, alienated and threatened to be destroyed.
So, back alienation is so felt, and this time even in the heart of the country. Alienation is essentially dangerous especially if never realized. Because, the pattern of space will certainly determine the volume patterns that fill it. The space that has been emptied of the material of identity is inevitably accessible to the counter-identity elements that gradually herd, alter and in turn diminish, even annihilate, the identity of an existence that has existed since a long time. This is really dangerous, and only a weak and desperate nation is willing to move toward disappearance.
