For many visitors to Berlin, touring the city’s Museumsinsel (Museum Island) is an essential part of their itinerary. After opening in 1830, the then-Royal Museum quickly became a major attraction. However, the experience of visiting a museum was very different at that time. The special exhibition on the Altes Museum’s upper floor provides fascinating insights into the museum’s beginnings. It shows a selection of antiquities displayed in its first permanent exhibition in 1830.

Berlin Cathedral

86338633

Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) is a famous Protestant church in Berlin, the German capital, located on the museum island in the center of the city, adjacent to the Spree River. This magnificent church is not only the religious center of Berlin, but also an important landmark and tourist attraction in the city. The history of the Berlin Cathedral dates back to the 15th century, when there was a smaller church at the same location. The existing cathedral was built from 1894 to 1905 under the orders of the German Emperor Wilhelm II to serve as the court church of the Hohenzollern family. The original church was demolished in the late 19th century to make way for a new, more grand church. The Berlin Cathedral was designed in Renaissance and Baroque style by architect Julius Raschdorf (Julius Raschdorff). Its gorgeous exterior and exquisite interiors reflect the characteristics of the new Baroque architecture. The church is 98 meters high and its green dome is an important part of the Berlin skyline. During World War II, the Berlin Cathedral was severely damaged, especially when an airstrike in 1944 caused the dome to partially collapse. After the war, the restoration of the church continued for decades, and was finally completed in 1993. ⛪️ The interior of the church is gorgeously decorated with many exquisite sculptures, paintings and mosaics. The altar paintings and pulpit on the central altar are particularly striking. ⛪️ Berlin Cathedral has a pipe organ built by William Sal (Wilhelm Sauer), one of the largest and most important historical pipe organs in the world. Visitors can climb 270 steps to the observation deck of the church dome, from which you can overlook the magnificent view of central Berlin.

We stumbled upon Museum Island as we were walking to the train station to return to our ship. We had seen it on a map but had no idea what it was. The museums and Berlin Cathedral were impressive. Definitely recommend a visit here.
