Description
An account of the resource
Erected immediately at the end of World War II in the first few months after the German surrender and dedicated on November 11, 1945, Soviet builders used materials from what had been Hitler’s Reich Chancellory building. The monument with the very large sculpture of a Soviet soldier is dedicated to the 20,000 Soviet soldiers who lost their lives in the fighting for Berlin. Up until the end of the German Democratic Republic (GDR or East Germany) this site held a special status and was guarded 24/7 by Soviet soldiers although it was situated on the West Berlin side of the Berlin Wall. The large colonnade feature of the memorial is inscribed with the names of Soviet Army units that took part in the battle for the city as well as individual names. Two stone sarcophagi bear the names of important Soviet officers who were killed in the heavy fighting between April and May 1945. In the garden behind the memorial lie 2500 Soviet soldiers in unmarked graves. The 26 foot tall bronze Soviet soldier towers over the site and can be seen from quite a distance; he carried his gun slung over his soldier to symbolize the war was over and with this left hand points towards his fallen comrades who lie at the base in front of the memorial.

Description
An account of the resource
In front of the only surviving Nazi Government World War II era building is the memorial to the popular uprising of June 17, 1953. East German citizens protested economic changes and demanded popular and free elections. These protests were eventually met with brutal suppression. The memorial is documented with displays and a beautiful rectangular reflecting pool with a holographic image visible on the bottom. As this site was visited on June 17, it is clear that the date still holds importance to many Berliners who have left wreaths and individual red roses surrounding the pool.

Description
An account of the resource
This 69 meter tall column was erected in 1873 and originally sat in front of the Reichstag building but was moved to its current site in the Tiergarten in 1939 by the Nazi government. The memorial commemorates the Prussian victories over Denmark in 1864, Austria in 1866 and France in 1870/71; these wars created the united German Reich. The column is topped by a gold eight-meter tall statue of the Roman goddess, Victoria or Victory. On the rounded base are placed statues of Prussian general Roon and Moltke and Imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. On the square base are relief sculptures depicting the battles from the wars and original cannons from the wars are also present. Inside are 285 steps in a spiral staircase leading to an observation platform. [Unfortunately when the author visited the memorial was undergoing repairs/renovations and was covered with scaffolding.

Description
An account of the resource
The 1895 church sustained extreme damage and destruction during World War II Allied bombing and was left as a reminder of the devastation of 20th century warfare. The remains of the central tower contain original mosaics and items from the church as well as a history of the church. Between 1959-61 Egon Eiermann created a blue-glazed octagonal church on one side and an hexagonal bell tower on the other side. The original church was commissioned by Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1891 to honor his grandfather Kaiser Wilhelm I. The original spire stood 371 feet but only 223 remain today.
