(Drivebycuriosity) - My wife and I are still traveling in Europe. We are staying now in Berlin at an AirBnb place in a neighborhood called Nollendorfer Kiez, which belongs the district Schönedorf, a very central place. We started to explore our neighborhood, finding bakeries, groceries, pubs and such. On Monday we had a walk in a large park, called "Tiergarten" (Animal Garden).
The park runs from Brandenburg Tor in the East to the Zoologischer Garten (the zoo) in the West. There are ponds, canals and wonderful blossoming bushes which turn the park into a fairy tale garden.
There are attractions like the Siegessäule (victory column) which celebrates Preussen´s victories against Austria & France in the 1860s. Germany as a nation state was founded in 1871 before it was a patchwork of kingdoms, duchies and independent cities. In the 19th century Prussia belonged to Europe`s powers besides Austria, Russia, England & France.
The park has some nice columns
And it also celebrates Richard Wagner.
We could spot bunnies & swans
