The history of Berlin itself is the history of Germany itself, as we know it
today. Two towns founded around 1200, Berlin and Cölln, joined in
1307 form a single city of 7,000 inhabitants still called Berlin.
Brandenburg As part of the kingdom of Prussia, Berlin became the capital of the Empire
German (in 1871) when Prussia achieved the unification of Germany after first defeat
Austria in the Seven Weeks War (1866) and then ending the Second Empire
French to defeat his army in the Franco-Prussian War. Since then experienced
a significant population increase, from 824 484 inhabitants in 1871
1,888,313 in 1900 and to 4,024,165 in 1925. The city became a reference
cultural, architectural and financial center worldwide.

~ Nazi's Capital ~
Capital of Nazi Germany, Berlin in 1939 reached its maximum population with
4,338,756 inhabitants. The Führer Adolf Hitler planned large urban works
scale by Albert Speer and the renaming of this, Germania,
that were not carried out due to the onset of World War II, during
which most of the city was destroyed by aerial bombardments
by the British Royal Air Force and the USAAF, the United States aircraft, at
who joined the Battle of Berlin against the Soviet army represented by
Georgi Zhukov. As a result of bombing and ground battles killed thousands
civilians. After the defeat of the Nazi regime, Berlin was divided into four sectors
under the administration of four partners.

~ The Berlin wall ~
In 1948, the three western sectors (West Berlin), those under
respective control U.S., France and Britain, were reunited in
within the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), to which the Soviet Union
said the blockade of West Berlin and the creation of the Democratic Republic
Germany (GDR) in 1949, with its capital in East Berlin. This blockade failed thanks
the airlift maintained by Western forces from Germany.
In 1961, the GDR built the Berlin Wall called to separate the two
parts of the city, and indeed to isolate West Berlin in the GDR, to
to end the migration of Germans from east to west. The wall
which had a total of 144 km, was one of the best known symbols
of the Cold War and the partition of Germany. Many people died in
the attempt to overcome the harsh supervision of the border guards of the GDR
way to the western sector. The exact number of victims is
subject to dispute and are not known with certainty. The numbers of different
versions ranging between 86 and 238 dead.
Many West Berliners also left the city feeling
of insecurity or for economic reasons: the isolated town and set in
territory of Soviet influence, but massively subsidized, no
could provide the same opportunities as the rest of the country, contributing
to the decrease in the number of inhabitants.
The Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989, accepting the government
the GDR the free movement of citizens between the two parts of the city.
Almost a year after the GDR disappeared, in fact annexed to Germany, which
in 1990 moved its capital from Bonn to Berlin, thereby giving EU membership
the population of the former republic.

Turks, followed by Italians, Poles, Russians and other subgroups from
States of the former Yugoslavia and several nations in Africa and Asia.
Berlin's population has grown rapidly since the end of the Second War
World only when it had fallen to 2,300,000. Today, Berlin has

• I want to welcome you to " Onder Bolender ", a town near Holland
from the German border, is a city of medium size but full of monuments, has
with a large number of churches and cathedrals of different architectural types.
The overall architecture of the city is mixed but predominantly Dutchmen styles
and Germans in most of the city •

Hello, today we will know one of the most emblematic buildings in Berlin. The new Guard [Neue Wache]

so I really hope you like it and enjoy it.
One of the novelties of the new Berlin Berlin esque attempts to teach in a "tourist"

of neoclassicism in architecture. This was the first important commission of Schinkel in Berlin.
King Frederick William III of Prussia ordered the construction of the Neue Wache to
commemorate the defeat of Napoleon and the achievement of freedom in Berlin. The construction
was completed in 1818. It is located in the place where formerly stood
the wall that surrounded Berlin.

• Functions and History •
His first role was to commemorate the defeat of Napoleon in the war of liberation, later
in 1931 happened to be a monument to the memory of the German victims of war 1st
world. From 1960 served as a place to commemorate the victims of fascism, currently
is the National Memorial for the victims of war and tyranny around the world.

• During the Second World War •
Berlin was a city bombardeade during the Second World War, many of its buildings
most emblematic were damaged and this was no exception, the building was seriously
aereros attacks damaged by losing some of its structure.

The Neue Wache is located in "Unter den Linden" is the most famous boulevard of the city.
After 1949 the building was located in the Soviet zone and was part of the former
German Democratic Republic. In 1960 the building was reconstructed and repaired, reopened
as a monument to the victims of fascism and militarism.
In 1969, the 20th anniversary of the "GDR" was placed in the center of the building structures

After German reunification in 1993, the building was again dedicated to the victims of
war, formally called "Central Memorial of the Federal Republic of Germany for
Victims of war and tyranny. "
The sculpture commemorating the GDR was withdrawn and replaced by a sculpture
Käthe Kollwitz called "A mother with her dead son." This sculpture is
oculo located under the roof of the building and so is exposed to rain, snow and cold
Berlin climate, symbolizing the suffering of civilians during the Second World War.

:o I'm amazed! This is obviously something that took a lot of time to create, but the result is simply astonishing.
On a side note, will the Tempelhof airport also be recreated?

I was a bit disappointed when you left Brielleterdam, but Berlin makes up to it.
And I got another shock as you told about the Altes Museum. I hoped you were giving us a model of it. I would really love to have this museum in my own cities, but it still isn't there. Maybe a nice job for Debussyman?
But your work is fabulous. I'll jump in more often. Good luck and have a nice new year. &apls

Wow, kelist.
The amount of detail and hard work that youput into your MD really blows me away, and I'm sure it does the same to others. Do you have a lot of free time on your hands, because I know with my amount of time, which I consider fairly a lot, I cannot make anything that would amount to comparison of yours.
Actually talking about the update now, those trees (I believe they are c.p.'s new ones, look great in the plaza. All of the buildings to be in a recreational state of a great city like Berlin is certainly a daunting task. Yet, you are able to perfectly convey the old world charm through modern buildings.
Great job!

The BAT looks quite good so far. I really like the texture you used for the Windows.
Maybe you should cut the white texture so that it only has the thinner stripes? That would correspond more closely to the real building.
If you look at photos, the ground floor looks a bit different from the upper floors, so you could invest into some detail there. But so far it looks really good.
Aaah!! :o
great BAT! very like it, I hope you'll release it on the stex/lex..

It's always a pleasure to stop by your MD and browse through your wonderful pictures.
I find what I like the most is your style of city building and you never seem to photoshop your pictures too much. Although to be honest.....the smoke from the chimney doesn't look very well done, not that I know how to do it any better though. ;)
All the buildings are so similiar enough that the city looks very believable and realistic and just like Nedal, I think I would love to be sipping on a cappucinno while watching the rain fall from inside one of those street side cafes.

My grandmother grew up in Berlin and could have been photographed on that postcard as a young girl. She is from 1903. Her younger sister from 1906 is still alive! A 104 years old and still living in her own house in Neukölln.
Beautiful work again!

No es necesario decirte que admito tu trabajo en recrear mi capital por SC4! Me gustan mucho tus retratos de todos los lugares famosos. Lo unico que critico es la avenida "Unter den Linden". No se porque pusiste este cemento roto en el suelo... es un paseo que esta en un estado muy bien y tiene este suelo de mosaico que es tipico para Berlin, como vez en las Fotos. Tambien faltan unas lamparas que dan ese flair de boulevard...
Isn't necessary to say that i really admire the work you are doin on the recreation of my capital for SC4! I really like all that pictures of the hot spots of Berlin. The only thing i critsize is the avenue "Unter den Linden". I don't know why you put that broken floor... it's a boulevard which is in a very good condition and has that typical mosaic floor, which you find in many places of Berlin. Also i'm missing some streetlights that give the flair to this boulevard... just see the pictures:

Quizas sea posible de cambiar eso. Si quieres podria tratar de batear unas lamparas...
Maybe it could be possible to change the boulevard. If you want i could try to help you out, batting some streetlights. Just i need to find out the HD-render.
All in all i really love your MD, and i'm really thankfull that you are showing the beauty of Berlin to the community! (P.S.: The Bauakademie is on its way to the SFBT-test-center, if you want, i can try to send you the modell, but nightlights are still missing)

Trataba de imitar las diferentes texturas de " Under Den Linden " y esa es la que mas me gustaba de todas las que vi, de todos modos
tratare de modificar la textura y encontrar una mejor, en cuanto a las luces seria muy bueno que tu hicieses algunas lamparas para
mi " Under Den Linden " :)
Me encantaria que me enviases el modelo de la " Bauakademie " no me importa que no tenga luces, seria feliz de tenerlo.

Ah well, eventually we can be happy it was "just" a 1:0. It could easily have been a 3:0. ::) Spain was the much better team.
I am not really a football fan so I don't care much but I was looking forward to the party. ;D
no problemo ;),
I'm excited what the score will be, sorry but I'm for the Netherlands, Jonathan :P
I guess it will be very though for Holland, the score will be 2-1 for the Netherlands, agree :P?

The Staatsoper Unter den Linden is the main opera house in Berlin and one of the most
in Germany today. It is located on the boulevard Unter den Linden and hence its
current name, but throughout its history has had others. Commonly known
as "the Berlin State Opera."
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg63.imageshack.us%2Fimg63%2F6296%2Fstaatsoper2.jpg&hash=007b6cf435d2b50e174a0ae8bc55612dfa897ca7)
Frederick II commissioned the original building on the land it now occupies,
the architect Georg von Knobelsdorff Wenzeslaus and construction began in July
1741, was designed to be the first part of a "Forum Fredericianum."
Although it was not completely finished, the Opera of the Court (Hofoper)
was inaugurated on December 7, 1742 with a performance of the opera Cleopatra
and Cesare by Carl Heinrich Graun. This occasion marked the beginning of a happy and successful
cooperation, more than 250 years between the Staatsoper and the Staatskapelle Berlin, the orchestra
the state, whose origins date back to the sixteenth century.
In 1842, Gottfried Wilhelm Taubert instituted the tradition of regular
symphony concerts. That same year, Giacomo Meyerbeer succeeded Gaspare
Spontini as General Music Director. Felix Mendelssohn also conducted concerts
symphony for one year.

On August 18, 1843, the theater was destroyed by fire. Built a new
opera house according to plans by architect Carl Ferdinand Langhans in a very short time
The following winter was inaugurated with a performance of Meyerbeer's work,
Ein Feldlager in Schlesien.

In the Second World War the building was destroyed during the bombing of Berlin.
The second reconstruction took much longer. Since 1945, the opera company
acted in the Admiralspalast (today Metropoltheater). Since 1949, the company served as
Opera State of the GDR. He returned to his original home in 1955, after a long reconstruction
- Tion in a free interpretation of baroque forms. The reconstructed theater
Opera was opened again, with Wagner's opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.
After the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the theater was somewhat isolated, but
still had an extensive repertoire that included works by classical and romantic periods,
along with ballet and contemporary operas.
After reunification, the Opera returned to the operatic world. Important works
who had already been presented in earlier times were rediscovered and discussed their
new role within the framework of the "Berlin Dramaturgy." Baroque Opera in particular was the
center of attention, with Cleopatra e Cesare, Croesus, L'Opera serious and Griselda. These
works were presented by the Belgian director René Jacobs together with the Akademie für
Alte Musik Berlin and the Freiburger Barockorchester on original instruments. In the
1990, the opera was officially renamed "Staatsoper Unter den Linden" ..

• Sankt Hedwigs Kathedrale •
is a Roman Catholic cathedral on the Bebelplatz in Berlin, Germany. It is the
seat of the Archbishop of Berlin, Cardinal Georg Sterzinsky.

It was built in the 18th century as the first Catholic church in Prussia after
the Protestant Reformation by permission of King Frederick II. The intention of
Frederick was to offer the numerous Catholic immigrants that had arrived in Berlin,
especially those from Upper Silesia, a place of worship. The church was therefore
dedicated to the patron of Silesia and Brandenburg, Saint Hedwig of Andechs.
The building was designed by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff modeled after
the Pantheon in Rome and construction started in 1747, interrupted and delayed
several times due to economy measures. It was not until November 1, 1773 when
the king's friend, Ignacy Krasicki, then Bishop of Warmia (later Archbishop of Gniezno),
officiated at the cathedral's opening in 1773.

[ In the picture you can see the cathedral after the Second World War ]
After the Kristallnacht pogroms that took place over the night of 9 November - 10 November
1938, Bernhard Lichtenberg, a canon of the cathedral chapter of St Hedwig since 1931, prayed
publicly for Jews in the evening prayer following. Lichtenberg was later jailed by the Nazis and
died on the way to the concentration camp at Dachau. In 1965 Lichtenberg's remains were
transferred to the crypt at St. Hedwig's.
The cathedral burned out completely in 1943 during air raids on Berlin and was reconstructed
from 1952 up to 1963.

Great work with lotting, using NWM it's also a cool idea. It fits very well :)

I hope you like my friends and thanks so much for the comments ;)
As always sublime &apls &apls
you made effort with people, because before they were always in group what was a little bit strange ;)
I remember eating lunch on the street next to this square!!
Perhaps put some tables outside the buildings!
That looks great! Love the details around the square. The new building turned out great!
Wow, you have quite an amazing MD here! &apls Kepp up the great work!
One question though, what design tool are you using for your custom content?
Jayster
Some beautiful pictures of your concert hall area!
And congrats for your second OSITM-award!
Looking forward to more... ;)
That plaza looks wonderful! Good work!
Great work Kelis! The plaza looks amazing!
Your friend,
Jordan :thumbsup:
What a great update, the new Konzerthaus is a real gem.
I would agree that Gendarmenmarkt is the most beautiful square in Berlin and I think you have managed to capture that. :thumbsup:
It's a fantastic work you made!! &apls
Guillaume :thumbsup:
Indeed a huge project, one that I will certainly follow with interest. From the footage on you-tube it looks like it was a beautiful city. With your skills this is in good hands.
Some amazing work here from you, my friend ! Simply fabulous and very, very beautiful !
3 updates ago, the boulevard at the top is simply gorgeous, you put c.p.'s trees to great use here. The new project will definitely by interesting to follow as well !
Ethan :)
Pre-WWII Germany looked liked a really beautiful place. The historic architecture. This should be a very interesting project! :thumbsup:
Jayster
That looks promissing, kelis! Just the texture is maybe too repetitive. Why don't you just search in the LE, there are some really nice coblestone texture i think. All your proyect looks very interesting, even if as i am a german it brings up some ungood feelings ;). But in fact this gives a good thematical spectrum.
If you need some historical advise don't wait asking me.
Have fun with your new MD :), good luck!
Wow, I like the way you rebuild thoose important places, Very good!
And Late but well earned congrats on the OSITM :thumbsup:
Nice! That's a beautiful building!
Amazing work here, my friend ! Your work is always stunning, can't wait to see some more ! :)
Ethan
I have missed some fantastic work. Your models are stunning and how they placed in your city is no less stunning! I can see this is shaping up for a great month with you.

How the hell did I missed these Updates, Jonathan ?? :'(
I should say, Disculpa para no han comentado tus updates amigo..
So these updates were fantastic man, I really love the way you make the plaza of the opera (it's an opera, right ? ) I just looks like the real one, great job. Also, the area around is fantastic too, one of the best German W2W I have seen since i'm playing this game ! Like Ethan said the big boulevard is just awesome and the use of CP's trees just make it even better.
Can't wait to see what you have in the "pocket" with that 40' styled Berlin.. And be sure this time I'll be here... xD
Take care,
-Arthur. :thumbsup:
Wow kelis! Nazi Berlin does look like a great place to reconstruct ;D
Your friend,
Jordan :thumbsup:
I certainly hope you will continue your project, even if there now is a 20ies Berlin and a 40ies Berlin. I would still love to see what you have planned for us.
Also like I said in the other thread, the obvious to me would be for the two of you work together to make everything needed for this historical reconstruction of the German capital.
Looking forward to more of the surroundings of the Brandenburger gate! ;)
This is just... breathtaking. Bravo! &apls &apls &apls
very nice update !! &apls

~ During the 60's the city experienced a state of lawlessness in which several architectural buildings
like this, a residential block situated in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city rose
deleting the prestige of areas that formerly were conspicuous by their splendor and beauty.
~ This is one of those cases, it is a residential building built by a Russian architect a prestigious place
in the city, apart from its look awful this building annoys residents Onder Bolender for taking splendor
of one of the most recognized buildings in the city, theater Ruziektheater located right next to this building.

~ In 2008 it launched a project to demolish the residential block and build instead an elegant building that
would become the tallest building in the city. At the end of 2008 work began on this building, one and a half
later the new tower should be ready.

Nice update and the new tower is an improvement, but I could imagine the city planners finding a design a little more exciting. This is quite a conservative building. :)
