Berlin

Instead of cars and trucks rushing by, grass, trees and shrubs grow on the A103 highway in Berlin's Schöneberg.

A stone's throw from Ostbahnhof station in the German capital, Berlin, you will come across this brick water tower from 1880.

On the night of April 25 to 26, 1940, the British Royal Air Force bombed the German capital Berlin. For Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, it was unpalatable to have bombs hit the capital of his Third Reich.

In the Herzberge landscape park, a green oasis in Berlin's Lichtenberg district, the Queen Elisabeth evangelical hospital was built at the end of the nineteenth century and was heated from a separate boiler room.

In 1837, August Borsig set up a workshop on Chausseestraße in Berlin. He assembled his first locomotive three years later, the first of many.

Karlshorst not only has a former airport in store but also a vanished zeppelin shed and a railway yard that has been transformed into a landscape park.

A 50-meter-high water tower rises from the ground between the former Tempelhof railway yard tracks in Berlin. With a capacity of 400 cubic meters of water, he could supply ten steam locomotives with the snap of a finger.

Barely a quarter of a century after constructing the Anhalter Bahn railway depot, the water reservoir was no longer sufficient to supply the larger and more powerful steam locomotives. That is why a completely new water tower was erected in 1908.
