| A commuter train crosses a bridge over the Spree River, carrying passengers through a reunified Berlin. Only one section remains of the infamous Berlin Wall that divided the city from 1961 until 1989; it was left standing as a memorial to a bitter era in the history of the nearly 800-year-old city. Today, Berlin is once again the capital of all of Germany. A major manufacturing and cultural center, Berlin is also Germany's largest city. |
