Alexanderplatz
“Alexanderplatz has undergone several redesigns over the years, and many of the surrounding buildings suffered significant damage during World War II due to Allied air raids. The rectangular square in the Mitte district goes back to the square in front of the King's Gate and was named in 1805 in honour of the Russian Tsar Alexander I. Alexanderplatz is the only square still located at its original site in front of one of the former medieval gates of the Berlin city wall. Historically, this former parade ground has been the backdrop for important events. There were intense street battles during the March Revolution in 1848. Alexanderplatz features many tourist attractions, including the TV Tower, the World Clock, and the Fountain of Friendship of Nations.”
