Brandenburg Gate Berlin 1945 |
After the war, Berlin was like a post-apocalyptic world. One of the largest and most modern cities in Europe has almost become a ruin. There were heaps of rubble everywhere. All architectural structures in cities like Schlüter, Knobelsdorf, Schadow and Schinkel were destroyed. Palaces, museums, churches, monuments and cultural sites were bombed.
