Berlin, a journey through time: animated aerial and satellite pictures on the anniversary of the Basic Law

The 60th anniversary of the entry into force of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany, Basic Law for short, was celebrated on 23 May 2009. The history of Germany after the Second World War is inseparably intertwined with the history of Berlin. The development of the two German states could be seen here in microcosm and is also reflected in the architecture, buildings, roads and open spaces – and particularly with regard to the Berlin Wall. The historical progression of these buildings has now been depicted by scientists at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) in animations composed of aerial and satellite pictures of Berlin from 1928 to the present day. The destruction caused by war, reconstruction, GDR buildings, unification and Berlin today can be clearly seen.
