Awesome
Cool video!
Not to forget the Tegel Airport, which operated until 2020. Tempelhof was also the US base in Berlin and has a big basketball hall which you can see during guided tours.
7:37 when the Johnny Harris electronic music hits 👌
Tempelhof has nazi architecture – why u didn't said that :p
@alemanizando 🥹😍
do la next!!
Berlin my favourite city on earth
Stellar work Daniel! Love the seeing the expansion of the walls, and your pronunciation 😂
An interesting video. However, there's something you got wrong. At 9:40, the narration says: "During the Cold War, this [the Tempelhof Airport] was a lifeline for West Berliners. Basically, everything had to be flown in. … This meant that taking on new construction projects and flying in everything was not very cost-effective or feasible."
From that, one might get the impression that West Berlin was supplied by air for the entirety of the Cold War. In fact, that was the case only during the Berlin Blockade of 1948–49. Before and after the blockade, West Berlin was supplied by road and train through East Germany. Of course, that still meant that West Berlin was an exclave of West Germany, which was economically disadvantageous for the city. However, aside from the eleven months of the blockade, it was not in the desperate situation of being accessible only by air.
Wonderful video. Please consider a longer version with the same amount of care!
I'm Berliner and I praise your fast ride through history. Well done 👍
Thanks for sharing. I liked how, you pronounced the name Gendarmenmarkt ❤️
Thank you I learned some new things 🙂 One thing I'd like to point out is that Tempelhof Airport was used as the lifeline that you were describing in a specific period.
The soviet union put in place the Berlin Blockade on June 24, 1948 lasting until May 12, 1949 preventing the Allies from supplying the exclave through roads or waterways which lead to the infamous "Luftbrücke" (air bridge) and tightly spaced landings at Tempelhof.

You gave me high hopes.
Being from Berlin and a map enthusiast, this is such a good video. With wonderful images, graphics and story's!!!
Why doesn't Berlin have many satellite towns?
Great video. A few notes: The fortification of Memhardt in 1650 didn't let to the unification. The cities acted united in foreign policies until 1442. Then the magraves of Brandenburg (later Prussia) divided them again. The history of the struggel between city and state is also an interesting aspect of the history of Berlin.
The annexation of 1920 also included a bunch of villages, who where until this point not suburbs, but agrarian villages, not really influenced by the city. In the 20s this was the expansion ring around the city for modern development for evryone. (Hufeisen-Siedlung, etc.)
Excellent video! I try to visit Berlin every time I can, and you have pointed out a few things that I have yet to see, like those remnants where the grand Arch was to be built. Loved the way you handled the subject !!
