City magazines
Of course, the seat of government and also Germany’s largest metropolis is home to a number of diverse local magazines on a wide variety of topics.
It all started in Berlin in the 1970s, when the two city magazines „tip“ and „ZITTY“, which were
leading for a long time, entered the race. For many years they had a close head-to-head race for the broader readership and consequently a higher popularity.
activities listed in these magazines, but the times of rivalry between the once biggest city magazines have finally been passé since 2016 at the latest. Now both „tip“ and „ZITTY“ are published by one and the same publishing house. Since July 2020, the print edition of Zitty has been discontinued and is only visible online.
Since the 1970s, of course, a large number of other local magazines have been added – some of them even dealing thematically only with individual districts. The Pankow Guide and the Prenzlberger Ansichten, for example, would be two such district journals.

Museums
Not only the central metropolis of the country, the city undoubtedly also has the most eventful and at the same time equally exciting history of the last century to tell – a history marked by the Nazi dictatorship and its pivotal point, fierce final battles on European soil, subsequent capitulation and subsequent unconditional, forty-year division into East and West as a symbol of the division of an entire country.
The numerous museums tell impressive stories about these eras and events. The so-called Topography of Terror, the Jewish Museum or the Wall Museum at the former Checkpoint Charlie are just a few of the many museums and memorials that deal with the history of the last century.
However, if all this is a little too dreary for you, and if you are otherwise interested in history, the districts naturally have a whole range of other museums.
The German Museum of Technology and the Museum of Natural History alone deserve a mention here.
In Germany’s capital, there is something for everyone when it comes to personal development.

German Unity Day
Spending the Day of German Unity is certainly something special. After all, it was in this very city almost 30 years ago that peaceful demonstrations by thousands upon thousands of citizens of the GDR finally bore fruit and literally brought down the Wall, which until then had been considered almost impregnable.
This paved the way for the long-awaited reunification of the two German states. It is therefore hardly surprising that a huge, three-day citizens‘ festival is held every year in the immediate vicinity of the Reichstag. The highlight of the festival is the Unity Concert in front of the Brandenburg Gate, which is traditionally always held on the evening of 3 October.
