The city hall building might look quite simple outside, but it has rich history. Former U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was here, as he was making his speech back then. Inside the city hall, there is Paternoster lift which still working. If you have the chance, give it try and snap some pictures for memories, but be careful with it.

It also contains the Freiheitsglocke - the Freedom Bell, a gift from the American government - which is rung everyday at noon. The City Hall also has an exhibition called "Wir waren Nachbarn - Biografien juedischer Zeitzeugen" (in English: We Were Neighbors Once - Biographies of Jews in Schoeneberg and Tempelhof under the Nazi Regime), which contains biographies of Jews from the Schoeneberg and Tempelhof neighborhoods of Berlin. [The biographies were in German - only a few had short English translations contained within.] An interesting place to explore if you're in the Schoeneberg area.

You'll likely stumble upon this plaza if you're visiting and your hotel is near, or if you're walking between attractions, or simply commuting and transferring between different trains. It's maintained its role as a transit hub since the mid-1800s, when it was the location for a long distance train station. After WWI, Europe's first traffic light was installed at this intersection. The square was destroyed in WWII and subsequently became an area for black market activities where the purviews of the foreign powers coalesced, and further became a demarcation between East and West Berlin when the wall went up in 1961. The area was devoid of infrastructure development until the 1990's once the wall came down, followed by major corporations moving in, and new buildings and highrises going up expeditiously to accommodate the needs for commercialization. While I didn't see anything exciting happening in the area when I was there, other reviews mention a Christmas market and other holiday, performance and community events being staged here. Surrounding the square are a number of retailers including the Mall of Berlin, some restaurants, and a lot of office buildings.

We just so happen to be at a chain hotel in the area and this was our daily stomping ground for 7 day, 6 nights. You will find some pieces of the Berlin Wall on the line marking where The Wall was. There is a major metro stop which was great for getting to everything on our bucket list. They happen to have an Easter Market in the Plaza while we were visiting.
