Mitte: Berlin's Historic Core, Brandenburger Tor, and the District That Became Germany's Capital Again
Mitte is a locality within Berlin's borough of the same name with a population around 102,000. This is Berlin's geographic and political heart: the Brandenburger Tor, the Reichstag, Unter den Linden, Museumsinsel (Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with five major museums), Alexanderplatz, and the Fernsehturm (TV Tower, at 368 metres Berlin's tallest structure) are all here. The Friedrichstrasse was the Checkpoint Charlie border crossing during the Cold War.
After reunification, Mitte transformed from a neglected East Berlin district into Germany's seat of government and a global destination. The Hackesche Hoefe, eight interconnected Art Nouveau courtyards, anchor the nightlife and gallery scene north of Alexanderplatz. The Gendarmenmarkt, flanked by the Deutscher Dom, Franzoesischer Dom, and Konzerthaus, is often called Berlin's most beautiful square. Mitte contains more embassies, government buildings, and cultural institutions per square kilometre than any other part of Germany. Adult companionship operates under Berlin's city-state regulations in the district where political power, tourism, and nightlife intersect most intensely.
