GETTING TO KNOW THE CITY OF BERLIN<br />
THE <strong>BUSINESS</strong> OF FILM GUIDE<br />
For <strong>the</strong> many international film<br />
executives attending <strong>the</strong> Berlin<br />
Film Festival for <strong>the</strong> first time in<br />
many years The Business of Film has<br />
complied a synopsis of <strong>the</strong> history and<br />
background of Berlin toge<strong>the</strong>r with<br />
selected places of interest, recommended<br />
restaurants, and Alternative Lifestyle<br />
clubs. Getting around Berlin is made<br />
easier by understanding <strong>the</strong> geography<br />
of Berlin’s distinct areas. Berlin is a city<br />
that never sleeps, (<strong>the</strong> Agenda for your<br />
appointments at <strong>the</strong> back of <strong>the</strong> Pocket<br />
<strong>Guide</strong> is on a 24hr clock) with a population<br />
nearing 3.5 million and an area<br />
eight times greater than Paris, it’s<br />
Germany’s largest city. Virtually<br />
destroyed during WWII; post-war it was<br />
divided by <strong>the</strong> Allied Powers. America,<br />
Britain, and France occupied West<br />
Berlin, and Russia controlled <strong>the</strong> East.<br />
The Berlin Wall (1961-89), was grim<br />
witness to <strong>the</strong> city’s division. In 1990<br />
followings <strong>the</strong> dismantling of <strong>the</strong> Wall<br />
Germany was reunited. Its history has<br />
left Berlin with Two city centers: On <strong>the</strong><br />
east, <strong>the</strong> Alexanderplatz television tower<br />
at <strong>the</strong> city’s historical center, Berlin-<br />
Mitte, symbolizes ‘<strong>the</strong> capital of <strong>the</strong><br />
German Democratic Republic’. On <strong>the</strong><br />
west, <strong>the</strong> Mercedes Star atop <strong>the</strong> Europa<br />
Center marks <strong>the</strong> busy Kurfstendamm<br />
center. The Arkaden shopping, entertainment,<br />
residential, and office complex,<br />
has made chic Potsdamer Platz <strong>the</strong> center<br />
of Berlin. Alongside German retailers<br />
and restaurants, international companies<br />
include Eddie Bauer, Starbucks,<br />
McDonalds, Benetton, Swatch, Tony<br />
Roma’s, and Haagen Daz. Reflecting it’s<br />
strong musical and deep cultural roots<br />
Berlin boasts three professional opera<br />
houses, four semi-professional opera<br />
companies, eight symphony orchestras,<br />
ten chamber orchestras, hundreds of choruses,<br />
and copious amateur bands playing<br />
punk to jazz in <strong>the</strong> city’s 150 <strong>the</strong>aters. The<br />
annual February Filmfestspielen is testament<br />
to Berliners love of <strong>the</strong> cinema, <strong>the</strong><br />
city is home to 265 movie <strong>the</strong>aters, <strong>the</strong><br />
most in Germany. Berlin also offers<br />
accessible with one admission price<br />
access to 174 museums, including 17 state<br />
museums .Zoologischer Garten (Zoological<br />
Gardens) is one of <strong>the</strong> world’s largest zoos,<br />
nearly destroyed during WWII. It now<br />
houses 14,000 animals representing 1500<br />
species, Olympiastadion stadium constructed<br />
for <strong>the</strong> 1936 Olympic games, was intended<br />
to showcase Hitler’s ‘master race’athletes.<br />
African-American Jesse Owens made history<br />
by winning four gold medals and today,<br />
Berlin has a street named after him<br />
Olympiastadion is one of <strong>the</strong> few Nazi-built<br />
structures still intact and in use. The memorial<br />
to victims of <strong>the</strong> Nazi regime<br />
Gedenkstatte Plötzensee occupies <strong>the</strong> old<br />
execution chamber in Plötzensee prison<br />
where between 1933-45 over 2500 political<br />
prisoners were killed.<br />
PRENZLAUER BERG<br />
On Bernauer Strasse, separating Mitte<br />
(East) and Wedding (West) Berlin, one<br />
can view Berlin Wall remnants, complete<br />
with border defenses and ‘death strip’. In<br />
<strong>the</strong> former West, <strong>the</strong> Berlin Wall<br />
Documentation Center has extensive displays<br />
and information about <strong>the</strong> Wall’s<br />
history. At <strong>the</strong> Berlin Wall Memorial in<br />
<strong>the</strong> former East, a stretch of Wall forms<br />
part of a Kohlhoff and Kohlhoff artwork.<br />

KANTSTRASSE SQUARE<br />
Kantstrasse square has remained <strong>the</strong> hub of<br />
West Berlin culture even after <strong>the</strong> Wall<br />
came Down. The square dates from 1862<br />
when city planner James Hobrecht placed<br />
plazas at regular intervals throughout <strong>the</strong><br />
city to ensure healthy airflow. In 1926-27,<br />
gardening director Erwin Barth added<br />
greenery, benches, and a playground. The<br />
square and its beautiful perennial borders<br />
were fully restored in 1987.<br />
A second similar center developed around<br />
<strong>the</strong> Hackescher Market, The best example<br />
is <strong>the</strong> famed architecture gallery AEDES,<br />
still standing in its original S-Bahn archway.<br />
SAVIGNYPASSAGE<br />
Savignypassage Berlin’s longest shopping<br />
row is in <strong>the</strong> inner city area. The tramway<br />
running east-west through <strong>the</strong> city, numerous<br />
viaduct arches (<strong>the</strong>re are 757 on <strong>the</strong> 12<br />
km route) have been converted from warehouses<br />
and craft ateliers to shops, restaurants,<br />
and cafes, making Many restaurateurs<br />
and antique dealers previously located<br />
at Nollendorfplatz station’s flea market<br />
have moved to ritzy Bahnhof<br />
Friedrichstrasse.<br />
KREUZBERG<br />
ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLES<br />
PLACES OF INTEREST<br />
Germany is one of <strong>the</strong> few countries in<br />
Europe which has a very liberal open<br />
approach to alternative lifestyles,<br />
Kreuzberg is where free thinkers settled<br />
before <strong>the</strong> Wall fell. An island of unconventional<br />
attitudes ironically isolated in East<br />
Germany, pacifists came to avoid mandatory<br />
military service; punks squatted in aban-<br />
The Berlin Library<br />
doned houses; gays and lesbians appreciated<br />
<strong>the</strong> repression-free environment which<br />
is worth a visit. Mehringdam 61 houses<br />
three gay and lesbian venues. Melitta<br />
Sundström café offers a cornucopia of<br />
refreshments as well used gay books for<br />
sale (including a large English section).<br />
The Gay Museum and Schwuz nightclub<br />
are located behind Sundström.<br />
The Gay Museum has varying Exhibitions<br />
weekly. The English-speaking staff is helpful,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> museum and archive are good<br />
resources for gay cultural history and current<br />
happenings.With an archive and<br />
library upstairs, <strong>the</strong> large English fiction<br />
collection is free to read, but can’t be<br />
checked out. For those seeking night time<br />
entertainment Schwuz, Berlin’s oldest<br />
gay club, plays mainstream music more<br />
than techno. Nightly <strong>the</strong>mes change from<br />
House to Oldies to Latin. Early evenings<br />
<strong>the</strong> crowd is mixed; by 2 AM, <strong>the</strong> clientele<br />
is predominantly male. On nearby<br />
Oranienstrasse, <strong>the</strong> landmark nightclub<br />
SO36 is very lively. Nightly <strong>the</strong>mes<br />
range from Techno to Oriental, plus <strong>the</strong><br />
Wednesday gay and lesbian Hungry<br />
Hearts singles party. Bingo night’s drag<br />
queen show is reported to be a blast.<br />
