The geographic centre of Berlin is the television tower (furnseihturm). This is located close to the Alexanderplatz, which was once the parade centre of the DDR.
Friedrichstrasse is abour 1km to the west of the tower and runs north-south. The Wall ran about 500-800 metres west of this road. These days Freidrichstrasse is a great shopping and eating street.
Since WW2 there has not been a single city "centre" in terms of entertainment, government, commerce etc. The Wall made the east and west grow up their own ways.
Nowadays the nearest that would be classed as "the Centre" is the 1.5km strip of land (ex-Wall Death Zone) running north from Potsdammerplatz to the Hauptbahnhof. This encompasses entertainment centres, government, transport, museum, history, music venues, parkland, etc etc. |

Well, depends on definition. At Kochstraße, Ecke (corner) Friedrichstraße, there is "Checkpoint Charlie", and the museum that has been made up there to remember occupation times and the war; but Friedrichstraße is a long street stretching from former West to East Berlin, and a line can't logically be called a center, in geometrical terms.
The center of the city maybe is the Brandenburg Gate ("Brandenburger Tor"), as this is the spot where the divide between East and West became most clear, and it's a spot where you can really stand on. Not ON the gate, but at the place before it, which is simply called "Platz vor dem Brandenburger Tor" ("place before the Brandenburg gate").
But to the people who live in Berlin, it's quite clear that the center of Berlin is always "just where I am":
"Wo ist die Mitte von Berlin?"
[Where's the center of Berlin?]
"Na, da, wo ich bin."
[Well, where I am.]
"Das kann nicht sein; du bewegst dich doch."
[That can't be, you're always moving]
"Na und? Das tut der Nordpol auch."
[So what? So does the north pole.] |
