The tower of the Berlin City Hall on Alexanderplatz in Berlin-Mitte can be seen from afar and is one of the most famous landmarks in Berlin. Because of the red bricks, it is also called the "Red Town Hall".
It is very centrally located next to the Berlin TV Tower, the Marienkirche, the Neptune Fountain and the beautiful Nikolaiviertel. A detour here is definitely worthwhile, as is a leisurely stroll in the evening when everything is wonderfully illuminated.

A little history
tv tower:
East Berlin center, also the end of East Berlin. They don't put many people to live here, because the houses are in the corners of the wall. They don't want them to be near the wall! The Jewish quarter is a bit isolated.
1989 the two outskirts of Los Berlines become the center of Berlin. 2 groups from West Berlin come to the Jewish neighborhood:not much capitalist investment in west berlin for geopolitical reasons. The USA sees West Berlin as an occasion for Western propaganda in the USSR.TO COMPETE WITH the communist government, the western governments offer finances and bque if you live in Berlin you are released from military service. Hippies, anarchists, etc. come to Berlin. young and alternative people. artists! West Berlin in the repopulation is transmuted into the capital of many artistic and cultural movements (70s/80s). On the contrary, the DDR did not send you to live in East Berlin if you are young, just the opposite of West Berlin.1989 the wall fell and the history of alternative Berlin began.the two collectives: graffiti artists who have entire neighborhoods completely cleaned up; the squatters! marshal plan. a businessman pools money from the marshal plan to tear down buildings in west berlin and rebuild them. Squatting movements are generated to save those houses and when the wall falls they find empty neighborhoods and neighborhoods. instead of houses, occupied social centers. which is a social center. capital of the European occupies movement. this is how alternative berlin is created!
