    Zeughaus
    by mgmarcus
    The Deutches Historisches Museum built in 1706 is one of many historical buildings to be viewed on a walk down Unter din Linden. I have seen it stated that the Zeughaus is the oldest buiding on Unter den Linden. It's original role was that of an arsenal but it now operates as the german historical museum. At this point in time the museum is not fully operational due to major construction works being underway. Check out the web site provided to see the current building works status and what is on offer.

    Unter den Linden: Bebelplatz

    Bebelplatz
    by mgmarcus
    Bebelplatz is a city square which was the site of the Nazi book burning for which a memorial, a clear panel sitting at ground level through which empty book shelves can be seen, has been constructed. The buildings around the square are very impressive and include the Alte Bibliothek (built in 1775 as the royal library and now part of Humboldt University), St-Hedwigs Kathedrale (Catholic Cathederal completed in 1778) and Staatsoper (Opera House completed in 1743). The interiors of St-Hedwigs Kathedrale and the Staatsoper are very worthy of a visit, tours of the Staatsoper can be booked in advance. You cannot miss the equestrian statue of Frederick the Great (completed 1851) on Unter den Linden near Bebelplatz. While your in the square your not that far from Gendarmenmarket, a beautiful city square, which you might want to incorporate into your walk down Unter den Linden.

    Reiterdenkmal Friedrichs
    des Grossen
    by mgmarcus
    Reiterdenkmal Friedrichs des Grossen (Equestrian Statue of Frederick the Great) completed in 1851. One of the most famous monuments in Berlin it has pride of place on Unter den Linden just before the lime tree plantation starts from whence the street gets it's name, "under the lime trees". The bronze statue shows Frederick the Great in uniform, wearing the royal robe while riding his favourite horse. On the base of the statue there are scenes from Fredericks life and famous people of the time. The statue was designed by Christian Daniel Rauch. If your on Unter den Linden looking at this statue your also surrounded by historical buildings that include the Staatsoper (State Opera), Humboldt Universitat (Humboldt University), Staatsbibliotheck (State Library) and those contained in Bebelplatz (Town Square).

    Staatsoper
    by mgmarcus
    Staatsoper (State Opera House) is one of many historic buildings to be viewed on a walk down Unter din Linden. Completed in 1743, re-built post WW2. Both the exterior and interior of the building have some great classic features, take the time to study the reliefs on the front of the building. A full schedule of opera, ballet, concerts and festivals is available to you when in Berlin. Guided tours of the opera house and stage area in German are available for booking, separate group tours in German, English, French and Italian are possible. Note that directly behind Staatsoper Unter den Linden is St-Hedwigs Kathedrale (St Hedwig's Cathederal) which is well worth a detour from you walk down Unter den Linden to view, the interior is very special also. St-Hedwigs Kathedrale completed in 1778 is the Catholic Cathederal of the Roman Archdioces of Berlin, you cannot miss it's large dome. Bebelplatz, a town square, is right next door also.

    Kronprinzenpalais
    by mgmarcus
    The former Crown Prince's Palace is one of many buildings to be viewed on a walk down Unter din Linden. The original building was completed in 1669 as a residence but was significantly added to in future years to bring it up to palace standards for Crown Prince Friedrich in 1773 and again in 1857 for Emperor Friedrich III. The building was destroyed in WW2 so what we see now is a reconstruction true to the original. At present it is used for exhibitions so it is well worth to investigate if it has anything of interest planned for when you are in Berlin. In recent history it is noteworthy for the fact that the pact for reunification was signed here in 1990. The Prinzessinnenpalais (Princess palace) is next door and worth a visit, it contains the opera café.

    Under den Linden is fashionable shops, street cafes, expensive hotels, banks... The street combines the history of past years and the newest developments.

    It's nice to have a walk along the street.

    Walking down Unter den Linden from Museumsinsel (Museum Island) will lead you to Pariser Platz and Brandenburger Tor. Not only do you get a great walk down this famous avenue and all it's historic buildings but you finish at a spot where there is plenty more to explore. Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate) is a well known Berlin icon while Pariser Platz is home to a number of embassies, bank buildings and the Hotel Aldon. Continue in the same direction and you heading for the Tiergarten and the Siegessaule (Triuphal Column) but as their some distance off you may prefer to go to the Reichstag (Parliament) which is in close by.

    It is good to have a walk along the Karl Libkneht street and Unter den Linden "street under lindens". It was the most well-known parkway of Germany in days of Fridrich the Second. The monument in his honour is installed here.

    This avenue leads out of the former centre of the city up to the Brandenburger Tor. Along this course of nearly a mile, it is bordered by royal palaces, museums, theatres,libraries and international consulates (russian). It is crossed by the famous Friedrichstrasse and the campus of the Humboldt university and many more.
