When I think about the Berlin Zoo, one thing comes to my mind: the polar bear called Knut. In December 2006, Knut was a polar bear born in the Berlin Zoo that became so popular that his presence increased zoo attendance by 30%. Yeah, everybody loved Knut, but he is no longer with us. His sad story is one of the reasons why I believe the documentary Knut and Friends is something that every animal lover should watch.
You may not know his name but I’m pretty sure you have seen the man on the pictures here. If you have been to Berlin a few times and decided to enjoy the amazing nightlife this city has to offer you have come across Komet Bernhard at least once. His is less than a symbol but more than a mascot to the Berlin Nightlife and you will understand what I mean after you watch the documentary below.
The man behind Abandoned Berlin took Jordi Busquets exploring some of Berlin’s most popular urban exploration locations. All of this for his documentary about urban in Berlin that is, also, called Abandoned Berlin.

Watching this documentary about Life in Berlin in the 1930s is like entering a time machine straight into the past. The two videos here show a city still being improved by Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich, a little before the Second World War and everything that happened in Berlin.
The first major international crisis of the Cold War happened in Berlin between April 1948 and May 1949, and it is known as the Berlin Blockade. During these long months, the Soviet forces blocked the Western Allies railway, road and water access to Berlin.
And in response to the blockade, the Berlin Airlift came to be.
