Berlin Cathedral

I can't find the right words for that building! I was standing in the center of the Cathedral and just starred to the top of that outstanding cupola! I never saw something like that before! The present building was buildt in 1905. On of the reasons was to buildt a respectable burial crypt for the Hohenzollern family as the old crypt had the problem when the Spree river was having too much water the coffins into the crypt where all under water and it destroyed the coffins and it was not acceptable for the rest in death of the bodies. I would say it is really dishonorable for the death ones beeing buried like that. So during the last 30 years the city of Berlin began to restore all the coffins and since the 90's one could visit the crypt. Parts of the Cathedral were destroyed during the World War II but if you visit the Cathedral you don't think about that as it is not to be seen.

During the Cold War the Berliner Dom as we say in german was part of the GDR, the German Democratic Republic (DDR, Deutsche Demokratische Republik).
