Guided Story
Imagine standing amidst a vision that was never realized. Look up; the air here whispers tales of power and ambition. Behind you, at the city model, you see enormous axes and monumental structures that were meant to transform Berlin into Germania. Albert Speer, Hitler's architect, dreamed of a triumphal arch that would dwarf Paris's Arc de Triomphe. Picture this place as the heart of a vast empire, with boulevards stretching for miles. As you stand here, consider how history could have unfolded differently. A stroll nearby might take you to the Komische Oper or the Stabi Kulturwerk, places that now tell very different stories.
