Special - The old Berlin

Hello people,

today i'm going to show you some pictures from Berlin, the german capital, how it looked before it was destroyed during the war. This Berlin is the Berlin of the Weimar Republic from 1918 to 1933. I don't want to show you the Nazi Berlin because of ethical reasons.

The Reichstag was finished in 1894 and had been the german legislative building from then to 1933. Short after Hitler assumed the power it was burned down. The act was assigned to the dutch communist Marinus van der Lubbe. But until today it is not clear if it was him or a act of the Nazis, which used the event to enforce the Reichstagsbrandverordnung, a law which abrogated the civil rights. After the war it was rebuild and since 1999 it's the legislative building of the united Germany.

The Siegessäule was original build in front of the Reichstag. The Nazis transported it to it's today's place while Rebuilding Berlin to their new capital.

The Brandenburger Tor was constructed as a gate through the city walls. The walls moved, the gate stayed. It got again enclosed by a wall after the war. The Berlin wall passed the Brandenburger Tor in direct neighbourhood.

It was very nice to see Berlin under the Weimar Republic... :D

Perhaps, in the future, you could go back to Berlin under the German Empire? :)

Informative and beautiful!  Trees and green spaces are totally underrated.

Great job keeping the architectural styles of your buildings similar! Your trees are wonderful, as well.

Wow not to offend anyone but I would like to see it in Nazi times

I'm sorry but i will not do this. I wouldn't feel good to use Sim city to show such a horrible time.

Also its almost impossible to get BATs that look like the Nazi buildings. They are too special. For example i don't know where i should get something like the Neue Reichskanzlei.

All in all it will be better if i don't make this, also not to offend someone. (I'm german, somebody could understand this wrong easily ;) )

It looks great I like it, but I think it would be better if you planted some trees and flowers, decorating those emtpy large (very large) grass areas, and as for the tram you could have simply included it in the street lanes (yes you can do  that).

It would be a great touch if you make those flowers in the grass area in the shape of the Nazi cross :P

I actualyl remember having a building that looks similar to the one that Neue Reichskanzlei.

 

& why being so sensitive about placing some Nazi flags? It's history, you can't censor it or change it because it's horrible, there have been many tragic historical events that had even a bigger effect that Hitler (an effect that extended centuries infact).

 

 

Again, great cj :D
