Things Techno: Industriekultur

28 11 2009

Industriekultur: in the German language there’s always the good word to describe something, and Industriekultur is one of them. Digital capital of Germany, Berlin has a strong industrial soul. Impressive spaces and infrastructures, built in the early 20th century by Peter Behrens or recent DDR temples, are architectural landmarks that you will be able to experience. Climb on the Schöneberg gazometer, visit the eWerk in Mitte or travel to Ferropolis MadMax….if you like things techno.

Hundreds of thousands of people will descend on Berlin for its Festival of Freedom, taking place at the iconic Brandenburg Gate on 9 November – exactly 20 years after the fall of the wall. The festival will kick off with a classical concert at Pariser Platz.

startAfter this, there’ll be a “domino rally”, symbolising the fall of the wall: a 2km-long chain of more than 1,000 giant dominoes will be sent tumbling down along the path of the wall, between the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate and Potsdamer Platz. For more details on the Festival of Freedom and other events taking place to celebrate the anniversary see mauerfall09.de
