Trip to Berlin on July 2004.
Transportation way to Platz: Subway.
Potsdamer Platz
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potsdamer_Platz)
Potsdamer Platz is an important square and traffic intersection in the centre of Berlin, Germany, lying about 1 kilometre south of the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag (German Parliament Building), and close to the south east corner of the Tiergarten park. It is named after the city of Potsdam, some 25 km to the south west, and marks the point where the old road from Potsdam passed through the city wall of Berlin at the Potsdam Gate. After developing within the space of little over a century from an intersection of rural thoroughfares into the most bustling traffic intersection in Europe, it was totally laid waste during World War II and then left desolate during the Cold War era when the Berlin Wall bisected its former location, but since the fall of the Wall it has risen again as a glittering new heart for the city and the most visible symbol of the new Berlin.
I will share this photoes with your pushpullers.
The architecture there should be really familiar with you. So I am not going to elabrate them anymore.
