Go to the Berlin Dome. It is so beautiful inside. And in the cellar are many of the caskets of deceased Deutsche Royalty. The intense feeling that the Berliners want you to remember the history, never forget it, so it does not happen again.
Gendarmenmarkt ~ the dome
by Audrey118
The Deutscher Dom or German Cathedral is the most southern building at the square.. The pentagonal structure was designed by Martin Grünberg and built in 1708 by Giovanni Simonetti and modified in 1785 after a design by Carl von Gontard, who added the domed tower. The Deutscher Dom was completely destroyed by fire in 1945. It was not t rebuilt until 1993 and reopened in 1996 as a museum with exhibits on German history.
Museum Berlin-Karlshorst
by Bernhadette
The museum Berlin-Karlshorst focuses on the Second World War and its impact for both the Russian and German participants. It shows how soldiers and civilians shared the experience of suffering, loss and death after the German agression against the Sovient Union in 1941.
Even though situated a bit off the beaten path in Berlin-Karlshorst (Treptow-Köpenick), it's definitely worth while a visit. Besides the permanent and contemporary exhibitions, there is an event in the commemoration of the end of World War II. each May 8th.

Brazil in Berlin ?
by matcrazy1
I found this metal and large sculpture by Alexander Calder in front of New National Gallery (Neue Nationalgalerie). Calder was an American artist (1898 - 1976) who invented the mobile - a type of kinetic sculpture which consists of a number of rods, from which weighted objects or further rods hang.
This composition looked similar to monumental sculpture in the capitol of Brazil that is city of Brasilia located in the middle of Amazon jungle. I mean the impressive iron statue of two people in the Square Of The Three Powers created in honour of the MEN who worked in the construction of Brasilia. Am I wrong?
Classical Music Played at Nightclubs
by Turtleshell about Yellow Lounge
Live acts and/or DJs play classical music at various nightclubs. This the main idea of Yellow Lounge.
Yellow Lounge is also a selection of recordings distributed by a major classical label.
One could wonder if playing classic music at clubs really "works" or if DJs are really keen on playing Fauré or Beethoven. But, yes, it does work.
So far, among a lot of other artists, you could see French master pianist Helene Grimaud soloing, or Claudio Abbado's Mahler Chamber Orchestra - live at small nightclubs, and all at a bargain for 5 Euro.
Mike Oldfield introduced his new classical piece (albeit it wasn't played live), and Rufus Wainwright recorded a compilation album for Yellow Lounge.
Various DJs, usually more familiar with electronic music, were happy to contribute.
Since dates and locations are changing, you need to check Yellow Lounge's website for upcoming events. None!
