Berlin aims to build. Yet, how to create as much affordable housing as possible in the shortest amount of time remains controversial. Jim Avignon is therefore concerned about Berlin’s housing policy and comments on it using his high-rise character created for the HaL courtyard sculptures series. Just as Jonathan Borofsky’s “Hammering Man” tirelessly swings his hammer, Jim Avignon’s sculpture “Workout-City” relentlessly lifts weights. Whether the motivation for this non-stop workout is driven by dollar signs or the societal longing for self-optimization remains unclear. Creating and finding living space seems to demand equally relentless effort. This is also felt by the Haus am Lützowplatz association, which has been planning a construction project on the property behind their building for some time. This is also felt by the Haus am Lützowplatz association, which has been planning a building project on the site to the rear for some time.

Berlin Cathedral

86338633

Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) is a famous Protestant church in Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is located on the Museum Island in the center of the city, next to the Spree River. This magnificent church is not only the religious center of Berlin, but also an important landmark and tourist attraction of the city.
⛪️The history of Berlin Cathedral dates back to the 15th century, when there was a smaller church on the same site. The existing cathedral was built from 1894 to 1905 under the order of German Emperor Wilhelm II to serve as the court church of the Hohenzollern family. The original church was demolished at the end of the 19th century to make way for a new and more magnificent church.
⛪️Berlin Cathedral adopts Renaissance and Baroque styles and was designed by architect Julius Raschdorff. Its gorgeous appearance and exquisite interior decoration reflect the characteristics of neo-Baroque architecture. The church is 98 meters high, and its green dome is an important part of the Berlin skyline.
⛪️During World War II, the Berlin Cathedral was severely damaged, especially an air raid in 1944 that caused part of the church&#39;s dome to collapse. After the war, the restoration of the church lasted for decades and was finally completed in 1993.
⛪️The interior of the church is richly decorated with many exquisite sculptures, paintings and mosaics. The altarpiece and the pulpit on the central altar are particularly eye-catching.
⛪️The Berlin Cathedral has an organ built by Wilhelm Sauer, which is one of the largest and most important historical organs in the world.
Visitors can climb 270 steps to the observation deck on the church&#39;s dome, from which they can overlook the magnificent view of the center of Berlin.

Berliner Fernsehturm

The Berlin TV Tower (Berliner Fernsehturm) is an iconic landmark offering stunning panoramic views of the city from its observation deck. Standing at 368 meters, it&rsquo;s Germany&rsquo;s tallest structure, and visitors can enjoy a 360-degree view of Berlin&#39;s landmarks. The rotating restaurant at the top adds to the experience, though it can be a bit pricey. It&#39;s a must-visit for first-timers in the city!
