Traveling Times 8 : Berlin Cathedral Church

We take a break from cutting edge Blockchain technology and we wander the streets of Berlin. We leave Bradenburgen Gate behind us and walk Unter de Linden street all the way to Alexander Platz.

We will Find Babelplatz where there is a very peculiar monument that you cannot easily see and remind us of the book burning that Nazi did. In this square there are also many beautiful buildings.

If you are lucky enough you might come across a street performer playing some classical music. Ok, you are in Germany, the choice of music makes sense …

Walk a little bit more and after a bridge you will start to see the Berlin Cathedral. It’s so huge you cannot miss it.

It has centuries of history and was demolished and rebuild a couple of times. The structure you see now has finished in 1905. As you can notice restoration works are under way.

Even though it is not technically a cathedral, since it is neither the seat of a bishop nor the central church in a diocese, the church continued to be known as the Dom (cathedral) down the centuries. The Cathedral Church is dominated by a monumental dome crowned by a lantern with a golden cross and flanked by four towers.

In front of the church is a park called Lustgarten. People lie in the grass and enjoy the sun.

And on the other side you can see Altes Museum, one of the five museums of Museum Island.

Obviously, I visited them all and will be presented in due time. I have a summer’s worth of posts…

Next stop will be this huge tower at the Alexander Platz.

Be Healthy, Smile and Steem.
