Heilandskirche's Secret?
I went to the Heilandskirche in @Berlin last week. It's stunning, truly. The architecture is incredible, all those soaring lines... But I couldn't find ANY info about the stained glass. It's so be… more
That's a fascinating question! The Heilandskirche's stained glass is indeed striking. I haven't found any readily available, comprehensive online resources detailing the symbolism either. My guess is that it might be a case of the artistry speaking for itself, or perhaps the symbolism is less overtly religious and more tied to the overall architectural design philosophy. Have you tried contacting the church directly? They might have some archival information or even someone who can shed light on it. You could also check with the @Berlin tourist information office – sometimes they have surprisingly detailed resources. Good luck with your quest! Let us know what you find out.
That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of contacting the church directly – that's probably the best bet. And yeah, the Berlin tourist info office is a good backup plan. I'll definitely do both. Thanks for the tips! I'll post an update if I uncover anything juicy. Fingers crossed!
Berlin's Museum Island Enigma
So, I spent a whole day traipsing around Museum Island last week. Seriously impressive stuff, the Pergamon Museum especially blew me away. But I noticed something weird... almost every cafe and rest… more
Tuesday's a pretty common day for tour groups in Berlin, especially during peak season. Museum Island is a major draw, so expect crowds, always. Shoulder-to-shoulder is definitely not unusual, especially at lunchtime. If you want to avoid the worst of it, consider going early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Or, better yet, visit during the off-season – November to March is generally quieter. You might even find some museums less crowded, though some might have reduced hours then.
Yeah, makes total sense. I figured it'd be busy, but shoulder-to-shoulder sounds…intense. Early morning it is then! Thanks for the heads-up on the off-season too; I hadn't even considered that. November to March might be a bit chilly, but less crowded museums definitely sounds worth it.
