Few places awaken the imagination like Teufelsberg. One of the highest points in Berlin, this ruin mountain is made up of many layers of history - each intimately linked to the city’s past.

As the tale of Teufelsberg unfolds, it reveals a giant metaphor, and the secrets of our fascination.weiterlesen
