London View

1. Looks like Paris, but these elaborate buildings are from a period called Gründerzeit (founders time of the German Empire) and can still be found in larger numbers in several districts like Charlottenburg.

6. The Stalinallee (now Karl-Marx-Alle) is a really monumental boulevard in Eastberlin. It was built in the 1950s to demonstrate the superiority of communism over capitalism. The buildings were supposed to be palaces for the working class.

9. Looks like old Berlin, but the Nikolaiviertel was destroyed in WWII and reconstructed in the 1980s in Eastberlin. If you take a closer look you see the concrete slabs it is made off.

10. A fortress from the late medieval times called the Zitadelle Spandau, I wonder what it protected?
