Do you know Berlin was a divided city even before WWII?
Berlin during the Empire era (1871-1918) and the Weimar Republic (1919-1933) was marked by significant class conflict and division, particularly between the city's western and eastern parts.
In the empire era and industrialization, the western part of Berlin was home to the city's wealthy and influential classes. In contrast, the eastern part was more working-class and industrially focused.
You can find the trace of those conflicts in the most tragic incidents of 20th century, and also in our walking tour in Berlin!

A neo-baroque gate building on the Straße des 17. Juni in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg. Built in 1907–1908 according to designs by Bernhard Schaede, it was moved apart when the east-west axis widened in 1937–1938. The ensemble consisting of monumental colonnades, candelabras, and groups of figures originally served as the entrance gate to the once-independent city of Charlottenburg and formed the counterpart to the Brandenburg Gate.
