Quatrième de couverture

Berlin is not just the capital city and largest metropolis in Germany. It is also characterised by its most varying architectural landscape. The present architecture guide, now in expanded and updated version, creates an access to this structural spectrum.

Proven experts guide the reader through all the historical architectural eras - from the middle ages right through the present. The chronological sequence and the high-quality colour photos clearly reflect the typical characteristic of every era. As well as approximately 500 individual buildings, the most prominent architects of Berlin and every era are introduced and portrayed.

  • Elaborate historical outlines of the architecture
  • Divided into eras
  • Architects' portraits
  • Special sections devoted to important buildings
  • Maps indicating all featured buildings for a comprehensive tour
