Berlin, Germany
Berlin State Library
Based in Berlin and one of the largest libraries in Europe, the State Library is as famous for what it keeps as it is for what it has given away.
Berlin
Germany’s capital is a city that has inspired artists and activists alike, where punk found its early adherents, and hidden secret bunkers have been opened to the public. With a storied history that dates to the 13th century, Berlin exudes historical significance that has influenced both Germany and Europe at large. Literally divided during political turmoil during the Cold War, Berlin’s now decommissioned 18th-century Brandenburg Gate has become a symbol of reunification. Today the united city is the largest in Germany and has taken lead as the most populous city in the European Union.
