They seem to be more off the beaten path. My sense is that these places give you more of a local's perspective on Berlin. I imagine the book covers some places even Berliners don't know about, and provide background on the places people might come across but not know the history or significance of. The writing felt a little off to me. I'm guessing that the book was written in German initially, then translated. I wanted the writing to be more straightforward, but I started to accept the writing style as a little off-beat, trying to capture the mood of a particular place. There were some really striking photos in the book. (even some winter scenes). The places are listed alphabetically, as is typical in this series. I'm starting to realize the limitations of that organization, especially if you're not already familiar with the city's layout and addresses. ( ) Der Titel ist hier vielleicht etwas irreführend, denn bei den 111 Orten hätte ich jetzt schon auf den vorderen Plätzen die bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten erwartet. Die tauchen hier aber gar nicht auf, sondern das Buch lockt an die kleinen, sehenswerten Orte - durchaus auch in Mitte, in die Nähe der bekannten Plätze, aber auch ins weite Umland. Für einen kurzen, ersten Berlinbesuch sicher nicht der Reiseführer der Wahl, aber für die, die schon häufiger da waren, eine Anregung, auch mal andere Orte in Berlin aufzusuchen. Und eins wird auf jedenfall deutlich - Berlin ist vielfältig und weit mehr als das, was man in Mitte findet. Reise- oder Ausflugslektüre für alle, die auch mal andere Ecken in und um Berlin entdecken wollen. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In Berlin, the city divided after World War II, everybody knows about the Brandenburg Gate, Hitler's bunker, Kennedy's speech, red and green beer, splendidly broad boulevards, and numerous lakes. But this metropolis, once again the capital of Germany, encompasses many clandestine niches characteristic of a heterogeneous city without a beginning and without an end between its famous backyards, nature parks, and bridges. It is often these miniscule witnesses that tell authentic history. Besides the larger attractions, this unusual guide presents Berlin's other side - such as a tower so ugly that no-one wants to open a restaurant in it; a library offering its books in the trunks of living trees; the monument for the inventor of the currywurst; a residential settlement in a former East German prison; the place where the Nazis concealed the so-called "degenerate art" which they had confiscated; the house where David Bowie lived; an automat out of which maggots can be pulled; a museum for things used for purposes for which they were not created; the reception camp for refugees from East Germany - and, in a completely unexpected spot, the most romantic place in Berlin.
