The western half of the divided city of
Berlin
, composed of the
British
,
French
and
American
Sectors. West Berlin was heavily influenced by the presence of the Allies during the Cold War, when the
Berlin Wall
divided the city. The
Berlin Airlift
kept West Berliners supplied with food, coal, and medicine during a Soviet-imposed
blockade
. The
Tegel
and
Gatow
airports were built to service the incoming planes. Old American
military bases
still remain in the southwestern part of the city and are slowly being reclaimed by the
German government
and business interests.
Today, western Berlin is experiencing a decline of sorts. Cheaper land and housing in
the eastern part of the city
is draining the more
bourgeois
,
spiessig
western half of its attractiveness to businesses and young entrepreneurs.
Cafe Kränzler
is closing after being a
Ku-damm
landmark for many years. All the best clubs and bars, especially
electronic music
venues, are in the east, where the
students
and
immigrants
live.
Western Berlin is home to the
Wannsee
, a lake Berliners flock to in the summer, and the
Tiergarten
, a large park in the center of the city. Many thousands of students study at the
Free University
in
Dahlem
. Beautiful old houses sit between the trees in
Grunewald
.
Hertha BSC
plays in the old
Olympic Stadium
(
Olympiastadion
) in
Charlottenburg
