Location Description
Cologne’s great Gothic Cathedral is a magnificent reminder of
man’s ability to create exquisite art from stone. Its lacy twin
spires and wonderful stained glass never fail to impress. Miraculously,
the Cathedral escaped wartime destruction, unlike most of the
city. The Old Town attracts visitors with excellent restaurants,
lively taverns, bars and boutiques. The pedestrian-only Hohe-Strasse
is a shopper’s paradise, and Eau de Cologne toilet water, trademarked
4711 (the former address), is world famous.

Location Description
Berlin, city and state (1991 est. pop. 3,450,000), 341 sq mi (883
sq km), in E Germany on the Spree and Havel rivers, de jure capital
of the country. It is within, but administratively not a part
of, Brandenburg. Berlin is Germany's largest city, its historic
capital, and a major cultural center.
The city's manufactures include electrical equipment,
chemicals, and clothing. Among its many cultural institutions
are the renowned Berlin Philharmonic, the gallery of the Charlottenberg
Palace, with its collection of Rembrandts, and the Pergamum museum,
known for classical art. Formed from two villages chartered in
the 13th cent., Berlin was a leading member of the Hanseatic League
and became prominent as a commercial, cultural, and communications
center of Central Europe.
It was the capital of Prussia and of the German
Empire after 1871 and the Weimar Republic (see Germany) after
World War I. In World War II it was badly damaged by Allied bombing
and a Soviet artillery attack.
In 1945 it was divided into British, American, and
French occupation zones (West Berlin) and a Soviet zone (East
Berlin). The status of divided Berlin became a major cold war
issue, and in 1948-49 the Western powers carried out a large-scale
airlift to supply West Berlin during a Soviet land and water blockade.
In 1949 East Berlin was made the capital of East
Germany; in 1950 West Berlin was established as a state within,
and the de jure capital of, West Germany, with Bonn as the de
facto capital. In August 1961 East German authorities erected
the 29 mile (47km) Berlin Wall along the line of partition to
halt the exodus of refugees to the West. As the East German Communist
regime collapsed (1989-90), the Wall was breached (Nov. 9, 1989).
Upon German reunification in Oct. 1990, the new,
all-German parliament held a symbolic session in Berlin in the
old Reichstag building, and in 1991 it voted to move the federal
government to the city. The move is to be completed by the end
of the year 2000; some government offices will remain in Bonn.

Location Description
Erfurt is a city in central Germany, on the Gera River, and is
the capital of the state of Thuringia. Erfurt is an important
manufacturing, transportation and cultural center.
Erfurt was a famous place of learning from the 14th
to the 16th century. Its university, founded in 1392, attracted
scholors from many parts of Europe and Martin Luther studied there
from 1501 to 1505. At that time 40 churches and 13 monasteries
were located in Erfurt. The university was closed in 1816 . Some
of its original buildings remain as noted landmarks. It was reconstituted
in 1992 on its 600th anniversery and Erfurt's 1250th. Other points
of interest include a large 13th century church and Gothic cathedral,
which are both dedicated to Saint Severus and dominate the Domberg
hill; the former Augustinian monastery where Martin Luther was
ordained in 1507 and several other medieval ecclesiastical buildings.
The 12th century tradesmans bridge, on which merchants built gold
and spice shops, is the only bridge of its kind north of Italy.
