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.

When you are walking around Tempelhof, a concrete cylinder isn’t the first thing that crosses your mind as a place to visit. But the Schwerbelastungskörper is more than just a bunch of concrete and a really scary german name. The Schwerbelastungskörper is one of the few structures that survived to tell the story of Welthauptstadt Germania, the capital of the new german world that never survived the Second World War.
