The Westin Grand Hotel, Friedrichstrasse 158-164,10117 Berlin, Germany.
The new Berlin presents itself to visitors as an open city again. Brandenburg Gate - once a symbol of the divided Germany - has again become the emblem of the German capital. Around it, the new centre of Berlin is rising up, a unique urban setting in which the old joins with the new, and the future of this Metropolis becomes visible.
When the Berlin Wall fell, the Berlin region became the newest conurbation in Europe more or less overnight. But as a result of the division of Germany and Europe which lasted almost half a century, this city in the centre of the continent was in an extreme political and geographical border situation. The political changes in Europe restored Berlin to its former position in the middle of Europe.
Berlin, the capital of Germany, is one of the most exciting city destinations in Europe and is a city in the making that resounds with innovation and change. Great experiments in urban planning since the fall of the Berlin Wall are equally matched by a seemingly inexhaustible energy in the arts and the city's nightlife.
The district Berlin Mitte is situated in the East Berlin and encompasses the historic core of Berlin with some of the most importatnt sights of the city like Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island, the famous boulevard "Unter den Linden", the Humboldt University , the Television Tower and the Reichstag Building. In 2001 the boroughs were reorganized and the former borough of Mitte was combined with the boroughs Tiergarten and Wedding to form the New borough Mitte.
"Unter den Linden" (Under the Lime Trees) is a famous boulevard in the centre of Berlin and named after its "Linden" and it runs west-eat from the Brandenburg Gate to the former site of the Berliner Stadtschloß (Imperial Palace). The boulevard crosses the River Spree and continues as Karl-Liebknecht-Straße. Major north-south streets crossing Unter den Linden are Friedrichstraße, Charlottenstrasse and Wilhelmstraße.
