Berlin Bear
The Berlin Bear is the traditional heraldic animal of the capital and has shaped the cityscape since the 13th century. The well-known bear sculpture on today's A115 near Dreilinden was created by the sculptor Renée Sintenis. The bronze monument stands near the former Dreilinden-Drewitz checkpoint and depicts a young bear standing on its hind legs with outstretched front paws. The figure is approximately 1.6 meters high, and together with its pedestal, the monument reaches a total height of about four meters.
Kurfürstendamm
The Kurfürstendamm, often simply called "Ku'damm," is Berlin's most famous shopping and strolling mile. The street is located in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district and is particularly known for its exclusive shops, hotels, restaurants, and cafés. May 5, 1886, is considered the official opening day of the boulevard when the first steam tram reached the Zoological Garden. Originally planned as an elegant residential area, the Kurfürstendamm quickly developed into an important shopping and cultural center. In the 1920s, the boulevard became a symbol of the "Roaring Twenties."
