The importance of Berlin has changed from being on the frontline between the opposing armies of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, to becoming once again the capital city of reunited Germany.
Most of the City's buildings are now either new or restored after the war. In the last ten years entire new districts have grown up on the site of the now disappeared Berlin Wall. The illustrations include the Reichstag with its new glass dome, museums and churches around the Unter den Linden and on Museum Island, the restored old districts just north and east of the centre, government buildings and the gleaming new development around Potsdamer Platz. All these make Berlin an exciting and changing city for those interested in architecture.
This magnificent book illustrates some forty of these buildings, with a short description accompanying each, including the relevant details of its architect and dates of construction and reconstruction
