Hidden among suburban streets in the south of Berlin, there is an unexpected sight. To some people like me, it looks like an ancient burial ground from an alien like civilization, but the truth is even better since this is Lilienthal Park, a part of the memorial park to Otto Lilienthal, one of Germany’s aviation pioneers.

There is a story online that Berlin has more than 200 museums. If this is true or not, we don’t know but one of my favorite art museums in the city is known as Buchstabenmuseum, but I like to call it the Museum of Letters. I like to call it like that because, inside the building, you will see a large number os neon signage from Berlin and around the world.

Checkpoint Bravo was the name of one of three Allied checkpoints used by the United States in the divided Germany and Berlin during the years after the Second World War and the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Before 1969, this Checkpoint could be found on a bridge over the Teltow Canal. Still, it was moved to a different location called Albrechts Teerofen. In here, we will be talking about the original and abandoned Checkpoint Bravo.

Krematorium Baumschulenweg was designed by Axel Schultes and Charlotte Frank, who also worked on the Berlin Chancellery. What they created feels less like a building and more like a sensory experience. While I was there, this was one of the many things that came to mind.
