| Summary: | "'Berlin is too big for Berlin' is the curious title of a book by flaneur Hanns Zischler who jokes about the low population density of this polycentric, extensive city. But 'Berlin is too big for Berlin' in another sense: how to live together and keep alive the myth of 'Berlin, the trendy city'? To understand it, it is necessary to go on a journey to its origins, the nineties: the scars of war were everywhere, coal stoves, dilapidated buildings, basic supermarkets... Today, however, the search for abandoned ruins, the hunt for heirlooms in markets and illegal parties in basements no longer exist. That era of urban archaeology is over: almost all the old buildings have been renovated, houses cleared of squatters and typical DDR style shops closed. Without the wounds of the past the city may be less dramatic but it is stronger and healthier. Even the inhabitants have lost something of that yearning, of that romantic and self-destructive streak that defined the Berlin of the past. But Berlin remains a young city. Indeed, to cite one who knows it well, Berlin is, and always will be 'pure potential'."--Provided by publisher |

| adam_text | Contents Berlin in Numbers A Sign of the Times — Andrea D’Addio 6 Dress Code — Falko Hennig 10 The Greatest Show in Town: The Resurrection of Potsdamer Platz — Peter Schneider 13 8 For decades Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz was little more than a wasteland, but in 1989, shortly before the fall of the Wall, the head of Daimler bought a 61,000-square-metre tract of land, and everything changed. Der Himmel Unter Berlin — Christine Kensche 31 The 1990s saw a generation of young people experiencing Berlin as a wild frontier, occupying abandoned buildings and transforming them into clubs. Anything seemed possible, and it was in this climate of incurable optimism that the Berlin Df Ellen Allien began to play her part in the development of what was to become the soundtrack of those years: techno. We Were Like Brothers — Daniel Schulz 49 In former East Germany, in the years following reunification, you could find yourself fleeing from neo-Nazi violence but still have friends on the extreme right: one did not preclude the other. Is that still the case today? Four Square Kilometres of Pure Potential — Vincenzo Latronico 69 Tempelhof Airport ceased operation in 2008 and has since then become a symbol of young Berliners’ desire for liberty. Vincenzo Latronico offers a personal take on the past, present and future of this huge green expanse nestling in the heart of Berlin. Berlin’s Little Vietnam — Alisa Anh Kotmair 81 Berlin’s large and diverse Vietnamese community came about as the result of shared experiences in the histories of Germany and Vietnam, two countries divided by conflict and
later reunified. Berlin-based VietnameseAmerican Alisa Anh Kotmair looks at the Vietnamese-German experience. Berlin Suite — Cees Nooteboom 95 In the spring of 1991 the Dutch writer and traveller Cees Nooteboom returned to Berlin for the first time since reunification, only to find that euphoria had given way to anxiety, and an invisible wall of recrimination and suspicion still divided the city. 3
High Infidelity — Thibaut de Ruyter 107 Many tourists begin their exploration of Berlin at Checkpoint Charlie, a replica of the famous border post that was already long gone when the Wall fell. The architect and art critic Thibaut de Ruyter discusses the post-war architectonic history of a city that celebrates a past that it does not own. in the Belly of the Whale — Juliane Löffler 127 A night at the KitKat sex club, Berlin’s most transgressive venue, with journalist Juliane Löffler. The Evicted Generation — Annett Gröschner 137 Annett Gröschner was one of the many liberty-craving young East Berliners who moved into the run-down Prenzlauer Berg district in the 1980s. After the fall of the Wall the local authorities promised to restore the buildings and keep the existing social fabric intact, but what happened was very different. 153 East vs. East — Alina Schwermer The destinies of the two former East Berlin football teams BFC Dynamo and FC Union have always been intertwined, but each has fared very differently since reunification. Sports journalist Alina Schwermer looks at how both clubs are caught between the past and the future. The Island of Youth — Jörg Sundermeier 165 You don’t have to leave the city to escape from it; just head for one of Berlin’s many green lungs. The Island of Youth is one of these oases, somewhere you can forget that the city lies just across the water. 175 Last Orders — Fabian Federi Berlin’s traditional pubs are in crisis. Fabian Federi reflects on the precarious state of the Eckkneipe. An Author Recommends — David Wagner The Playlist — Ercole
Gentile Digging Deeper The photographs in this issue were taken by the photojournalist and documentary photographer Mattia Vacca, a long-time contributor to Corriere della Sera. Inspired by his interest in social issues and the consequences of armed conflicts in different parts of the world, in 2018 he published the photography book Confine, the collective story of how the city of Como, on the border between Switzerland and Italy, came to be the site of a refugee camp. He joined the photographic agency Prospekt in 2018. His work has featured in titles such as The New Republic, the Guardian, THE PASSENGER 186 188 190 the Daily Telegraph, the Independent, Wired, Esquire, L’Espresso, Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin and Público, earning him numerous awards, including the Sony World Photography Award, the Royal Photographic Society Award, the UNESCO Humanity Photo Award and the New York Photo Award.
