It is located on the so-called "Hoher Bopser" hill in the southern Stuttgart district of Degerloch. After a construction period of 20 months it was placed in service February 5, 1956, by Süddeutscher Rundfunk (today: Südwestrundfunk – SWR). The tower broadcasts several public FM radio stations and transmitted the ARD TV network's analogue service until 2006. The digital television services have moved to nearby Fernmeldeturm Stuttgart, which also broadcasts private FM radio stations in the area. Although controversial at first, it quickly became a well known landmark of Stuttgart and tourist attraction. From the two observation decks there is a view of Stuttgart, from the forests and vineyards in and around Stuttgart to the Swabian Jura and the Black Forest. On clear days the Swiss Alps are visible. #3 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Volksbuhne Berlin ~0.21 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Volksbuhne #4 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Marienkirche Berlin ~0.34 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Marienkirche #5 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Red Town Hall Berlin ~0.39 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Red Town Hall #6 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Aquadom Berlin ~0.50 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Aquadom #7 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin DDR Museum Berlin ~0.52 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to DDR Museum The DDR Museum is an interactive museum in the centre of Berlin. The museum is located in the former governmental district of East Germany, right on the river Spree, opposite the Berlin Cathedral. Its exhibition shows the daily life in East Germany (known in German as the Deutsche Demokratische Republik or DDR) in a direct "hands-on" way. For example, a covert listening device ("bug") gives visitors the sense of being "under surveillance". The museum was opened on July 15, 2006, as a private museum. The private funding is unusual in Germany, because German museums are normally funded by the state. The museum met some opposition from state-owned museums, who felt threatened by the possibility of a museum being financially viable without receiving state subsidies. In 2008, the DDR Museum was nominated for the European Museum of the Year Award #8 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Nikolaikirche Berlin ~0.53 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Nikolaikirche #9 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Berlin Cathedral Berlin ~0.58 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Berlin Cathedral Berlin Cathedral (German: Berliner Dom) is the colloquial name for the Evangelical Oberpfarr- und Domkirche (English analogously: Supreme Parish and Collegiate Church, literally Supreme Parish and Cathedral Church) in Berlin, Germany. It is the parish church of the Evangelical congregation Gemeinde der Oberpfarr- und Domkirche zu Berlin, a member of the umbrella organisation Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia. Its present building is located on Museum Island in the Mitte borough. The Supreme Parish and Collegiate Church in Berlin, ca. 1900. The Berlin Cathedral had never been a cathedral in the actual sense of that term, since Berlin, let alone this Cathedral, had never been the seat of a Catholic bishop. When in 1930 the Holy See for the first time established a Catholic diocese of Berlin, the Berlin Cathedral had long been a Protestant church. St. Hedwig's Cathedral serves as seat of Berlin's Metropolitan bishop. Function and title of bishop, as used in the Evangelical Church in Berlin-Brandenburg (under this name 1945-2003), comprise the Protestant bishop's regular preaching in St. Mary's Church, Berlin, being the bishop's domicile church with Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church being the second seat. #10 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Palace of the Republic Berlin ~0.60 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Palace of the Republic #11 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Old National Gallery Berlin ~0.62 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Old National Gallery #12 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Altes Museum Berlin ~0.63 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Altes Museum #13 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Lustgarden Berlin ~0.63 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Lustgarden #14 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Neues Museum Berlin ~0.66 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Neues Museum #15 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Schlossplatz Berlin ~0.70 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Schlossplatz #16 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Pergamon Museum Berlin ~0.71 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Pergamon Museum #17 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin German Historical Museum Berlin ~0.76 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to German Historical Museum #18 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Bode Museum Berlin ~0.77 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Bode Museum The Bode Museum belongs to the group of museums on the Museum Island in Berlin and is a historically preserved building. The museum was designed by architect Ernst von Ihne and completed in 1904. Originally called the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum after Emperor Frederick III, the museum was renamed in honor of its first curator, Wilhelm von Bode, in 1956. Closed for repairs since 1997, the museum was reopened on October 18, 2006. It is now the home for a collection of sculptures, Byzantine art, and coins and medals. The sculpture collection shows art of the Christian Orient (with an emphasis on Coptic Egypt), sculptures from Byzantium and Ravenna, sculptures of the Middle Ages, the Italian Gothic, and the early Renaissance. Late German Gothic works are also represented by Tilman Riemenschneider, the south German Renaissance, and Prussian baroque art up to the 18th century. In the future selected works of the Gemäldegalerie will be integrated into the sculpture collection. This is reminiscent of William von Bode's concept of "style rooms", in which sculptures, paintings, and crafts are viewed together, as was usual in upper middle-class private collections. The Münzkabinett ("coin cabinet"), currently housed at the neighboring Pergamon Museum, is one of the world's largest numismatic collections. Its range spans from the beginning of minting in the seventh century B.C. in Asia Minor up to the present day. With approximately 500,000 items the collection is a unique archive for historical research, while its medal collection makes it an important art exhibition at the same time. #19 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Neue Wache Berlin ~0.80 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Neue Wache #20 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Staatsoper Unter Den Linden Berlin ~0.82 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Staatsoper Unter Den Linden #21 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Berlin State Opera Berlin ~0.86 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Berlin State Opera Staatsoper Unter den Linden (Berlin State Opera) is a prominent German opera company. Its permanent home is the Opera House on the Unter den Linden boulevard in Berlin. Frederick II commissioned the original building on the site and construction work began in July 1741 with what was designed to be the first part of a "Forum Fredericianum". Although not entirely completed, the Court Opera (Hofoper) was inaugurated with a performance of Carl Heinrich Graun's Cleopatra e Cesare on December 7, 1742. This event marked the beginning of the successful, 250 year old cooperation between the Staatsoper and the Staatskapelle Berlin, the state orchestra, whose roots trace back to the 16th century. In 1842, Gottfried Wilhelm Taubert instituted the tradition of regular symphonic concerts. In the same year, Giacomo Meyerbeer succeeded Gaspare Spontini as General Music Director. Felix Mendelssohn also conducted symphonic concerts for a year. On August 18, 1843 the Linden Opera was destroyed by fire. A new building designed by architect Carl Ferdinand Langhans, known as the Königliches Opernhaus (Royal Opera House), was inaugurated the following fall by a performance of Meyerbeer's Ein Feldlager in Schlesien. In 1821, the Berlin Opera gave the premiere of Weber's Der Freischütz. In 1849, it premiered Otto Nicolai's Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor, conducted by the composer himself. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the Royal Court Opera, Berlin, attracted many illustrious conductors. including Felix von Weingartner, Karl Muck, Richard Strauss, and Leo Blech. After the collapse of the German Empire in 1918, the Opera was renamed Staatsoper unter den Linden and the Königliche Kapelle became Kapelle der Staatsoper. In the 1920s, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Erich Kleiber, Otto Klemperer, Alexander von Zemlinsky, Bruno Walter occupying the conductor's post. In 1925, Alban Berg's Wozzeck, was given its premiere in a production conducted by Erich Kleiber in the composer's presence. After having undergone an extensive renovation, the Linden Opera reopened in April 1928 with a new production of Die Zauberflöte. In the same year, the famous Russian bass Feodor Chaliapin and Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes with conductor Ernest Ansermet are guest performers. In 1930 Erich Kleiber conducted premiere of Darius Milhaud's Christoph Columbus. However, in 1934, when symphonic pieces from Alban Berg's Lulu were performed by Kleiber, the National Socialists provoked a scandal and he was forced into exile. After Hitler's Nazi takeover, members of Jewish origin were dismissed from the ensemble. Many German musicians associated with the opera went into exile, including the conductors Otto Klemperer and Fritz Busch. During the Third Reich, Robert Heger, Herbert von Karajan (1939-1945) and Johannes Schüler were the "Staatskapellmeister". #22 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Bebelplatz Berlin ~0.88 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Bebelplatz The Bebelplatz (formerly Opernplatz) is a public square in Berlin, the capital of Germany. The square is on the south side of the Unter den Linden, a major east-west thoroughfare in the centre of the city. It is bounded to the east by the State Opera building (hence its prewar name), to the west by buildings of Humboldt University, and to the south by St. Hedwig's Cathedral, Berlin's oldest Roman Catholic church. The square is named after August Bebel, a leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany in the 19th century. The square, then called Platz am Opernhaus, was built between 1741 and 1743 under Frederick II of Prussia. From 1911 until 1947 it was called Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Platz, after Emperor Franz Josef. The Bebelplatz is best known as the site of the book burning ceremony held on May 10, 1933 by members of the S.A. ("brownshirts") and Nazi youth groups, on the instigation of the Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels. The Nazis burned around 20,000 books, including works by Thomas Mann, Erich Maria Remarque, Heinrich Heine, Karl Marx and many other authors. The buildings surrounding the square were largely destroyed during World War II and later restored. Today a glass plate set into the Bebelplatz, giving a view of empty bookcases, commemorates the book burning. Furthermore, a line of Heinrich Heine is engraved, stating "Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen" (in English: "Where they burn books, they will also burn humans in the end"). Students at Humboldt University hold a book sale in the square every year to mark the anniversary. In 2006 an exhibition of "United Buddy Bears" was held in the square, for the third time in Berlin. The exhibition consisted of more than 140 bear sculptures, each two metres high and designed by a different artist. #23 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin St. Hedwig's Cathedral Berlin ~0.91 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to St. Hedwig's Cathedral #24 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Humboldt University Berlin ~0.92 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Humboldt University #25 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin German Guggenheim Berlin ~1.01 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to German Guggenheim #26 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin French Cathedral Berlin ~1.04 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to French Cathedral #27 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Gendarmenmarkt Berlin ~1.07 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Gendarmenmarkt #28 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Konzerthaus Berlin Berlin ~1.09 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Konzerthaus Berlin #29 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin German Cathedral Berlin ~1.10 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to German Cathedral #30 of 30 Things To Do in Berlin Berliner Ensemble Berlin ~1.11 miles from Berlin city center Hotels Close to Berliner Ensemble The Berliner Ensemble is a German theatre company established by playwright Bertolt Brecht and his wife, Helene Weigel in January 1949 in East Berlin. In the time after Brecht's exile, the company first worked at Wolfgang Langhoff's Deutsches Theater and in 1954 moved to the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm, built in 1892, that was open for the 1928 premiere of The Threepenny Opera (Die Dreigroschenoper). His students Benno Besson, Egon Monk, Peter Palitzsch, and Manfred Wekwerth were given the opportunity to direct plays by Brecht that had not yet been staged. The stage designers Caspar Neher and Karl von Appen, the composers Paul Dessau and Hanns Eisler as well as the dramaturge Elisabeth Hauptmann were among Brecht's closest collaborators. After her husband had died in 1956, Weigel continued managing the Berliner Ensemble until her death in 1971. The Berliner Ensemble achieved successful theater through long and meticulous rehearsals, often spanning several months. Each production was documented with a Modellbuch or preview album containing 600 to 800 action photographs. Die Dreigroschenoper and Happy End premiered in Berlin in 1928 and 1929 respectively. Brecht wrote no new plays for the Berliner Ensemble, but remounted previously staged plays, premiering with Mother Courage and Her Children in 1949. Brecht also directed The Caucasian Chalk Circle, and with Erich Engel, Life of Galileo. After Brecht's death, 3 plays, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, Schweik in the Second World War and The Visions of Simone Machard, had their premieres with the Ensemble.
