History
Berlin's history dates back to the 13th century, when it was founded as a trading post. Over the centuries, it evolved into the capital of Prussia and later the German Empire, becoming a center of culture and politics. The city faced significant turmoil in the 20th century, including the rise of the Nazi regime, World War II destruction, and the subsequent division during the Cold War. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked a pivotal moment, leading to reunification and a new era of growth and innovation.
