Passive Armament
Made by cbmd
Passive Armament is a specialty term in German law governing public assemblies (Versammlungsrecht). When a protest march is planned, papers have to be filed with the authorities to ensure that for example the planned route will be closed off for vehicular traffic and police deployment can be scheduled. Nowadays, certain conditions are customary imposed. Anything that would decrease the effectiveness of police measures (e.g. physical force) is considered to be a passive armament and protesters are prohibited to bring these items to a march. The list of items covered by this legal term is long and has been steadily growing. It includes the obvious like gas masks, body armour and motorcycle helmets to more commonplace items such as boots with steel caps. Even sunglasses are deemed troublesome, as they might impede visual identification.


Reichstag
Made by Gerd Bilow!
Das Reichstagsgebäude (kurz: Reichstag; offiziell: Plenarbereich Reichstagsgebäude) in Berlin ist seit 1999 Sitz des Deutschen Bundestages. Auch die Bundesversammlung tritt hier seit 1994 in der Regel alle fünf Jahre zur Wahl des deutschen Bundespräsidenten zusammen. Der Bau wurde von dem Architekten Paul Wallot 1884 bis 1894 im Stil der Neorenaissance im Ortsteil Tiergarten (heute zum Bezirk Mitte gehörend) errichtet. Er beherbergte bis 1918 den Reichstag des Deutschen Kaiserreichs und anschließend das Parlament der Weimarer Republik. Durch den Reichstagsbrand von 1933 und durch Auswirkungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs schwer beschädigt, wurde das Gebäude in den 1960er Jahren in modernisierter Form wiederhergestellt und von 1991 bis 1999 noch einmal grundlegend umgestaltet.

Kunst am Bau / Antony Gormley
Made by michael_hamburg69
Antony Mark David Gormley (born 30 August 1950) is a British sculptor. . . Steht und Fällt Der Deutsche Bundestag verdankt dem britischen Bildhauer Antony Gormley eines der bemerkenswertesten Kunst-am-Bau-Projekte in den Parlamentsbauten, die Installation Steht und Fällt aus dem Jahre 2001. Im Jakob-Kaiser-Haus, dem Haus mit den Abgeordneten-Büros, hat Gormley einen Innenhof vollständig geflutet. Nur ein Steg führt noch über das Wasser in den Hof hinein. Im Wasser spiegeln sich fünf lebensgroße Skulpturen, die senkrecht zu den Wänden des Hofes angebracht sind.


Holocaust memorial
Made by DuncanC
Another of Berlin's memorials - this one had a two-fold effect on me. Firstly... it was just a whole lot of steel/concrete pillars spanning the entire area of a city block. It was quite fun to walk around the pillars... seeing who you could spot as you zig zagged around. All was fun until... Whilst waiting everyone to gather at the prearranged meeting point, I realised that each pillar was roughly the size of a burial casket / tomb. Ok... they were all varying heights, but each was approximately the size of a casket!!! Kind of fitting for a memorial... not sure if the memorial is supposed to me interpretted in this way... but it was a sobering thought.

View from the West Berlin side to the Berlin Wall and Potsdamer Platz in May 1985. The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. Potsdamer Platz in 1985, showing No Man's Land between the Outer Wall (foreground) and Inner Wall (background). Pictures taken in May 1985.

berlin, dorotheenstraße, deutscher bundestag. architects: bussman and haberer. it was like a piece of glass that had exploded outward but whose fragments were still firmly in contact with each other to form a whole. the best analogy i can think of is a toffee apple after you have bitten it and the thin layer of toffee has fragmented and changed position

Impressive architecture! The Reichstag dome is the iconic large glass dome at the top of the parliament in Berlin. The dome has a 360 degree view of the surrounding Berlin cityscape. A large sun shield tracks the movement of the sun electronically and blocks direct sunlight which might blind those below. Construction work was finished in 1999.

Memories preserved in stone...
Made by DuncanC
In a way, Berlin is a sad place... memorials to those who lost their lives here are dotted around the city. These pieces of slate are outside the Reichstag. Each one bears the name of a member of parliament who lost their life to the Nazi regime - most of them were members of socialist or communist parties.

Office workers take a break & take in the Berlin Cityscape, not realising they've just become part of it... All these uploads are just the slightly tweaked jpegs. Have the RAW files for them too. Will revisit when I figure out how to use Lightroom/Photoshop CS3...

Ièm not sure if these were apartments or business offices but they sure looked modern and nice. The connecting walkways are an impressive feature but they take the life off of the streets below.
