Berlin, Germany

Berlin, capital of the reunited Germany (though the timing for the transfer of the seat of government from Bonn has not yet been settled), lies on the navigable river Spree, which flows into the Havel at Spandau. It is a focal point of political, cultural and economic life and Germany's principal industrial city.
Berlin has all the flair of an international city, pulsating with life. The Berlin Opera and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra are world famous. The museums in Dahlem, Charlottenburg and the Tiergarten and on the Museum Island are of international standing. The Film Festival and radio Exhibition, the "Green Week" in the Trade Fair Halls and the sporting contests in the Olympic Stadium are only a few of the most important events in the city's calendar.
Following the fundamental political changes which have taken place in Germany, the old division of Germany is now history.
The political reorganization since the historical transition made in 1989 has resulted in changes in the names and descriptions of streets, squares, parks, etc., as well as of public buildings and institutions. This process of changing names is expected to continue for some time to come.
The palaces and parks of Berlin were designated World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1990.
