365/24 is an expression that refers to time. To put it a little more precisely: it refers to business hours, 365/24 stands for 365 days a year and 24 hours a day when something is going on. 365/24 stands for Berlin. It is not only the clubs like Berghain that are open around the clock, after all, the Long Night of Museums was also invented in Berlin. This magazine is all about ex-amples like that. Using 24 different categories, as many tips have been collected as there are days in the year. Tips about locations and history, high culture and low culture, food and recreation. 24 categories, each of which make the city appear completely differ-ent every time. A city featuring a more diverse collec-tion of museums than can be found almost anywhere else in the world. A city that features much more of the world than anywhere else in Germany. A city where the past is still present while the future is simultaneously being written. A city that has so many opportunities for discovery that there easily could have been another 365 hints included in this publication. And, since 2016 is a leap year, there are actually 366.

1Berlin, noun, neuter, capital city of Germany and simulta-neously one of the 16 federal states, 3.5 million inhabitants spread out over some 900 square kilometers, trend: increasing; 30 million overnight stays by tourists per year, trend: increasing; scarred by history, rich in art and culture; a little rough around the edges, trend: that’s the way it is; average annual temperature 8.4 degrees Celsius, average precipitation 577 mm; according to one famous quotation »arm« (»poor«) see: länderfinanzausgleich (that is, the redistribution of income between the German feder-al states), »aber sexy« (»but sexy«) (see: rich in art and culture, see: trend: increasing), according to another: »Berlin bleibt doch Berlin, da kannste nüscht dran ändern.« (»Berlin will always stay Berlin, there’s nothing you can do about it.«)

2Berlin had once been two cities. Today, most Berliners and visitors to the city find this to be an advantage. A lot of things have been dou-bled; after all, the history of a city cut into two has left behind a lot of unusual pairs. The two most promi-nent, connected by an enor-mous historical difference: the nefertiti Bust in the neues Museum and the head of the east Berlin lenin Monument that will be dis-played in a new permanent exhibition at Zitadelle Span-dau from spring 2016.

nefertitiShe was the principle wife of the legendary Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten (about 3,300 years ago), then co-regent and ultimately a female pharaoh of equal rank. She was not only beautiful; she was also influential and intelligent. Her bust is rightly admired: 50 cm high, limestone, stucco and quartz.

leninA Lenin statute floated through the sky in the film »Good Bye, Lenin!« as a farewell to the German Democratic Republic. It was, of course, a copy. The real head of the monument (its former location: what is today known as Platz der Vereinten Nationen) was buried in Köpenick forest. It will be back in April 2016 – in the exhibition »Unveiled. Berlin and its Monuments« in Zitadelle Spandau. Red granite, three-and-a-half tons in weight and 1.70 meters high.

Staatsbibliothek West vs. Staatsbibliothek OstPerfect match: Haus 2 at the Kulturforum houses literature published after 1900 while Haus 1 at Unter den Linden houses everything published before 1900.

Planetarium am insulaner vs. Zeiss- Großplanetarium The Schöneberg planetari-um from 1965 is built at the foot of a rubble mountain. The Zeiss-Großplanetarium in Prenzlauer Berg from 1987 is under renovation until summer.

Haus des rundfunks vs. Funkhaus nalepastraßeThe broadcast studios still feature excellent quality today. The Haus des Rundfunks, designed by Hans Poelzig, is no less impressive.

Axel-Springer-Hoch-haus vs. Haus des Berliner Verlags am Alexanderplatz The Axel-Springer-Haus stood right next to the Berlin Wall when completed in 1965, since 1973 the Haus des Berliner Verlags just a bit further away.

Humboldt-Universität vs. Freie UniversitätWhile the venerable Humbolt University was located in the Soviet sector and fell under its influence, the Freie Universität, or Free Universi-ty, was opened in the US- American sector during blockade winter of 1948/1949.

Flughafen Schönefeld vs. Flughafen TegelA historic paradox! Here you see two pieces that were supposed to be replaced by one big new thing years ago. It will work out, one day.

rotes rathaus vs. rathaus SchönebergInfront of Schöneberg City Hall, John F. Kennedy famously said in 1963: »Ich bin ein Berliner«. Today, the Berlin Senate governs from Rotes Rathaus.

Brunnen der Völker- freundschaft vs. Weltkugelbrunnen am europacenterThe fountain in the East on Alexanderplatz was designed by Walter Womacka, 1969–1970, while the one in the West was designed by Joachim Schmettau in 1983.

Funkturm vs. FernsehturmAfter the 1920s Funkturm, or radio tower, with its Eiffel Tower-like appear-ance followed the Fernseh- turm, or television tower, in 1969 with its friendly, spherical top.

iCC vs. BCCIn comparison with the Berlin International Con-gress Center built in 1979 in West Berlin, the Berlin Congress Center on Alexanderplatz is more modest.

Alte nationalgalerie vs. neue nationalgalerieWest Berlin also needed a national gallery – the old one stood in the East – and made the wonderful decision to have it designed by Mies van der Rohe.

Zoologischer Garten vs. TierparkWhile the Tierpark is famous for its breeding of elephants, the Zoological Garden in the former West Berlin has the largest diversity of jellyfish in the world.

Stalinallee vs. HansaviertelWest Berlin provided an answer to East Berlin’s enormous construction project Stalinallee in 1957 with the International Building Exhibition in the Hansaviertel.

Zoo Palast vs. Kino international Both buildings send a clear message through their façades: there’s an enormous movie screen inside. The Zoo Palast has more seats: 773 (once 1070) to 551 (once 608).

Berlin has had a wealth of opera houses for quite a while: The newest, the Komische Oper, built in 1947, had its forerun-ner in the Metropol-Theater, built in 1898. The Deutsche Oper opened in 1961, constructed on the site of the Deutsches Opernhaus which was destroyed in the Second World War. The Staatsoper Unter den linden is really old: it was con-structed in 1743. even if the three opera houses all have their own respective artistic directors and budgets: the Stiftung Oper in Berlin, or Berlin Opera Foundation, is responsible for all three.

3

Komische Oper Modern music theater, from the classic Mozart repertory to operettas, musicals and robot operas (»My Square Lady«). The programming forges a link to its pre-war tradition, which was strongly influenced by Jewish artists. With displays on the back of each seat for other languages.

Staatsoper im Schiller TheaterThe »Lindenoper« has been undergoing exten-sive renovations since 2010, meanwhile performs at Schiller Theater in Charlottenburg. Coming up during the 2016 season: the complete Ring cycle by Richard Wagner, under the musical direction of Daniel Barenboim, chief conductor of the Staatsoper for life.

Deutsche OperPost-war building with gravel stucco façade designed by Fritz Bornemann, from 1961. Contemporary operas and classics from the 19th and 20th centuries, including a great deal of Wagner. For this reason a popular recruitment source for the Bayreuther Festspiele.

4Berlin was divided into four sectors between 1945 and 1990. Still today, one encoun-ters remnants of the four occupying powers consisting of the Soviet Union, the USA, Great Britain and France. These are often surprisingly alive: sports facilities, where international athletes com-pete, popular public festivals, architecturally bold buildings, sought to bring about a German reeducation. The sol-dier’s children and grandchil-dren help create a new understanding between peo-ples with their bistros, clubs and galleries.

Cité FochThis housing develop-ment in Wittenau was built after the Second World War for the French citizens sta-tioned in Berlin. Great deal of vacancies since the Fall of the Berlin Wall.

Centre Français de BerlinBerlin’s Eiffel Tower lives here! The Centre Français offers tandem language classes and French cinema. A hotel and the restaurant »Pastis« are always part of it.

German-French Folk Festival»French village« plus festivities: the folk festival was an idea of the French Armed Forces and has been held on the central fairgrounds every summer since 1963.

Boulodrôme Jean-rené MontelThe German people love this French national sport. Germany’s larg-est boules hall is locat-ed in Tegel and fea-tures ten playing fields in accordance with international standards.

France

Pignut BB QOriginal US-American BBQ restaurant located in the Arminius- halle in Moabit. Spare ribs, pulled pork and pancakes on the weekend.

Haus der Kulturen der WeltThe sprightly HKW was once West-Berlin’s Convention Hall, the USA’s contribution to the 1957 Interbau, which was subse-quently given to the city of Berlin.

German-US-American Folk FestivalHeld for the first time on August 13, 1961, the day that construction began on the Berlin Wall. A »wild west« city and amusement park rides make this fair a visitor magnet in summer.

Amerika- GedenkbibliothekThe AGB was donated and financed by funds from the Marshall Plan. Everyone can find a book here – and school-children can also find a quiet place to do their homework.

revolution and the Fall of the Wall What was the Peaceful Revolution and how did it bring down the Berlin Wall? From June 2016, a new multi-media open-air exhibition will open in the interior courtyard of the Stasi (East German secret police) headquarters to commemorate the event. The permanent exhibition is open around the clock. www.revolution89.de

Kino KrokodilThis is one of the oldest still-active movie theaters in the city and is located in northern Prenzlauer Berg: it features Russian film, children’s programming and matinees. And, when the occassion permits: vodka and Russian eggs.

German-russian Museum Berlin- KarlshorstThe former officers’ mess where the capit-ulation of the Wehr-macht (the German Armed Forces) was signed on May 8, 1945. Permanent exhibition on the Second World War from the point of view of the German and Soviet participants.

Theater ruskaja SzenaThis small, privately financed theater on Kurfürstenstraße pre-sents programming for adults and children in Russian once per week.

russisches HausThe largest Russian cultural center abroad was constructed a few years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Featuring rapid chess, concerts and exhibi-tions, today you can find a piece of Russian culture right on Friedrichstraße.

Cookies CreamThe London-born Heinz »Cookie« Gindullis is a big player in Berlin’s club culture. His Club Cookies is currently taking a break, but his restaurant Cream features refined vege-tarian cuisine with a hint of Britishness.

British ShortsThis short film festival will be held in four alternative movie theaters spread throughout the city in January 2017. At the end of the festival, a jury prize and an audience prize will be issued. It’s a good warmup for the Berlinale.

Großbritannien- ZentrumThe »Centre for British Studies« at the Humboldt University is a gift from Berlin to the protecting power of Great Britain – a research institution with public events.

international Club BerlinAfter the Fall of the Berlin Wall, the Berlin Ice Skating Club merged with the fine British Officers’ Club. Elite association with British flair. Prince Charles is the patron.

in May, winter is finally over, even in Berlin, and the people can make full use of their city. Some used to have high spring fever: Walpurgisnacht (Walpurgis night) and the May 1st protests are powerful Kreuzberg myths since 1987 when street fights, fires and looting broke out. The symbol of the riots back in 1987 was a »Bolle« supermarket that was burned to the ground. Many years later, it emerged that the supermarket had actu-ally been burned down by a pyromaniac. Meanwhile, the location on which the super-market stood on the corner of Wiener Straße and Skalitzer Straße is defined by the pres-ent: today the Umar-ibn-Al-Khattab mosque is located here.

Big events carry their significance right in their own names. They do not take place on a single evening; instead, they unfold over multiple days, or, to be precise, over an entire week. Just like the biggest event of all time, the supposed creation of the world according to Christian mythology. in Berlin, there are so many event weeks that they could eas-ily take up a quarter of the calendar year – with classics like the »Green«, and newer events like »Art«, followed by »Week«. The fact that their duration does not always add up to exactly seven days is no contradiction. The important thing is their significance.

8The subway lines of a metro- polis are its arteries. They bring the people to their destinations and wherever they cross the center of the city there is usually a lot going on. This is different in a polycentric city like Berlin. Which is why a trip with the north-South U8 line is prom-ising: important historical locations can be found at every one of the 24 stations and the city life buzzes all over, not only in the middle, in Mitte. »is’ mir egal« (»i don’t care«) rapped Kazim Akboga in a viral advertisement for the BVG company, which runs Berlin’s subways, trams and buses.

Berlin is a comparatively young city. You actually have to do a little bit of digging to come across the very old things. But they do exist: for example, a tim-ber and earth wall from the time of the Slavs. Or a moose that lost its life 13,000 years ago on what is Hansaplatz today, not far from the Akademie der Künste (Academy of the Arts). German archaeologists also brought many other old things to Berlin many decades ago – and the question of whether they still belong here today is currently the subject of intense debate.

The bigger the city, the more important it is to maintain an overview. This is why Berlin’s viewing platforms, public roof terraces and, yes, mountain plateaus, enjoy such popu-larity. All of the visitors who surround the reichstag every day can’t be wrong. This city, which has experienced so many structural changes over the years, shows a different side from every height.

Why 11? Because at 11 years of age you might no longer be interested in sandboxes but still haven’t grown out of the age of bouncy castles and it’s the optimum age for endeavors that only a metropolis like Berlin can offer: children’s and youth theaters, natural science workshops, bouldering, skating and jumping on trampolines. And that’s not all: splashing in pools and lakes, feeding animals or listening to fairy tales.

12The double names are due to bureaucratic concerns. The 23 districts that were defined after the Fall of the Berlin Wall were reduced to 12 in 2001 – for administrative rea-sons. There are 96 localities within the 12 official city districts and even more neighborhoods, or »Kieze« – as Berliner’s refer to their direct living environments. So there is no possible way that this selection of quirky locations, one for each district, can be representative. But you have to start somewhere.

Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf Gipsformerei Sophie-Charlotten-Straße 17

The diversity of the »Platten-bauten«, that is, pre-fabricated buildings, can best be seen on the eastern side of the city – you can marvel at the various pre-fabricated build-ings along the former main boulevard Karl-Marx-Allee. The pre-fabricated building, or »Platte«, however, was not an invention of the German Demo-cratic republic. The idea of constructing residential and office buildings from industri-ally prefabricated parts was made possible through tech-nological progress and imple-mented in the era of classical modernism. in Berlin, the en-tire spectrum of prefabricated construction is visbile.

Berlin is a green metropolis. There are more than 2,500 parks and recreational areas and a fifth of the city is cov-ered by forests. What a place to take a breather, take a jog, take a walk! What a place to garden, right in the middle of the city! As in the famous neighborhood project Prinz-essinnengarten on Moritzplatz – not the only one of its kind. Unfortunately, these fortunate occurrences are in-creasingly coming under threat. Berlin fights for its open spaces in the middle of the city, on the water and in vacant spaces – as in the case of the public referendum that de-cided against any construction on the grounds of Tempel-hofer Freiheit, the airfield of the former Tempelhof Airport, now Berln’s central park. 14 suggestions for getting out: into the blue and into the green.

14

Café am neuen See, Tiergarten

Beer garden located on a small lake that you can go on little boat rides on in the summer and snowshoe on

in the winter.

15The immigrants living in Ber-lin or those born here in the second or third generation, be they from China, Turkey, Vietnam or Canada, have created their own biotopes; infrastructures and locations, that are enthusiastically vis-ited by others in turn. While there is no homogenous dis-trict in Berlin like Chinatown in new York City, traditions are consolidated in certain neighborhoods that show how cosmopolitan this city is.

Kamerun | KamerunstraßeThe »Afrikanische Viertel«, or »African Quarter« was a product of the colonial era that has been revitalized in the post-colonial world: today, the Kamerun (Cameroon) in Kamerunstraße stands for the Monimba Lounge and the restaurant Bantou Village.

China | CharlottenburgKantstraße has been very popular amongst the Chinese since the 1920s. Restaurants, stores selling handicrafts and kiosks reach all the way to Stuttgarter Platz.

Burkina Faso | Potsdamer Straße 2Afrikamera is the festival for films from the African continent in November at Arenal – and not only from Burkina Faso, where festival director Moussa Sawadogo was born.

Vietnam | Herzbergstraße 128–139The Dong Xuan Center in Lichtenberg serves as a whole-sale market for Vietnamese retailers in Berlin but is also open to all visitors.

Tadschikistan | Oranienburger Straße 27The Tajikistani tea shop moved from the Leipzig Trade Fair to Berlin in 1974. It found a new home in 2013. Don't forget to take off your shoes.

Peru | Dresdner Straße 120This little country is currently winning Berlin over with its modern Andean cuisine: a whole bunch of people are very happy to eat at »Ceviche« on Kottbusser Tor right now, including people from Peru.

16The Skladanowsky brothers presented film clips in Berlin for the first time at Varieté Wintergarten on november 1, 1895. Berlin became Germany’s movie capital very early on. And has always remained this. The city not only has an A-list festival in the annual Berlinale. The city also features the largest number of festivals (around 70), the most movie screens (around 270) and the most audience seats (around 50,000). Movies and television series are constantly being filmed here: for example, the fifth season of Homeland, Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies or Tom Tykwer’s, series Berlin Babylon.

17You really don’t always have to eat a currywurst – even though in Berlin, where they were allegedly invented (although this is the first hotly disputed claim when it comes to currywurst) – they are also really good. The second hotly debated topic: where can you find the city’s best currywurst? At Konnopke in Prenzlauer Berg, at Bier’s Kudamm 195 in Wilmersdorf or in Kreuzberg at Curry 36? in all of this, one thing is definitely undisputed: the number of Michelin star-rated restaurants and culinary options in Berlin have increased dramatically in recent years.

State

The cultural wealth of the Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin, or Berlin’s State Museums held by the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, or the Foundation of Prussian Cultural Heritage, is pretty hard to overlook: 15 collections at five locations plus four research institutions. Wow. To make things a little easier to get a handle on, here is one recommendation per build-ing – or does that make things harder? not all of the museums are currently open: the neue nationalgalerie is being reno-vated, Friedrichswerdersche Kirche is currently threatened by construction sites all around it and is thus closed.

Museumsportal Berlin The complete overview of Berlin’s diverse landscape of museums, from the Berlinische Galerie – Museum of Modern Art, to the museums of the Stadtmuseum to the Berlin Wall Memorial. Nearly 200 museums, memorials, palaces, collections: up-to-date, detailed. Available in seven languages. www.museumsportal-berlin.de

Century

the

20thMany renowned architects of the 20th century have de-signed buildings in Berlin, be it within the framework of building exhibitions, official commissions from the city or private arrangements. The avant-garde architec-ture – from Bauhaus and clas-sical modernism and inter- national style to late modern-ism – show how aesthetic imaginings or ideas have changed the way we all live together. There are many buildings in Berlin that serve as architectural icons, among them six Siedlungen of mod-ernism, or housing develop-ments, that are part of the world cultural heritage.

The times in which the western part of the city stood in the shadows of Friedrichstraße and Hackescher Markt as an urban center are long since past. A huge number of things have happened around »Zoo Station« in the 21st century: demolitions, reconstructions, renovations, restorations and new constructions. new businesses and hotels have opened here, accompanied by museums and galleries. The avant-garde-inspired 1950s character of the area still exists. However, you have to look pretty carefully for it.

Westnew

Bikini Berlin The landmark protected Bikini-Haus is part of the ensemble of buildings »Zoo Center« and was completed in 1957. The avant-garde mall Bikini Berlin opened after extensive renovations in 2014.

Monkey Bar An additional floor was put on top of listed

Bikini-Haus: with a 360° rooftop terrace and a great view over the City West.

C/O BerlinThe Amerika-Haus was constructed in 1957 as a cultural and information center of the USA. The photo gallery C/O Berlin has presented retrospectives of big names there since 2013 and also presents younger talents.

Museum für Fotografie, Helmut newton FoundationJebensstraße behind »Zoo Station« connects two museums of photography. Large-scale photography exhibitions are held today in the former German army barracks and coopera-tion projects with the nearby Berlin University of the Arts are also presented here.

The 7th european Month of Photography Berlin October 2016 | This takes place every two years and is the largest German photography festival. Put in terms of numbers, it looks like this: 500 artists, 250 events in 125 different locations. Opening September 29 to October 2, 2016 at C/O Berlin.

Terrassen am ZooThe historic train station restaurant will be renovated and incrementally reopened. In the middle of 2016 a McDonalds is intended to move into the 1st floor – with a view of the bus station and Zoologischen Garten (Zoological Garden).

neues Kranzler eckThe redevelopment of the Victoria site in 2000 integrated the ensemble of buildings from the 1950s. The bonus: two aviaries with exotic birds. The eponymous Café Kranzler no longer exists.

ZoofensterSince 2012: the five-star hotel Waldorf Astoria and the newly founded Roma-nische Café. The landmark protected Schimmelpfeng-Haus had to give way for the construction of the 118-meter tall skyscraper.

Parking garage at Zoo stationThe only landmark protected parking garage in Berlin was built in the 1950s. It was removed over the course of the redevelopment of the Bikini-Haus site between 2010 and 2014 and is now a new construction with commercial spaces.

2:2Those only paying attention to football could come to the conclusion that, when it comes to sports, Berlin offers more variety than it does quality. Hertha enjoys an equal portion of good times and bad times in the first Bundesliga, just like Union in the second. Those who look beyond the foot-ball constantly encounter first-class athletes: Alba in basket- ball, the eisbären in ice hockey, the Füchse in handball, the recycling Volleys in volleyball as well as the Wasser- freunde Spandau in water polo. At the end of the day, how-ever, the sheer variety of sports is the loveliest thing.

Olympic VillageDuring the 1936 Olympics, the athletes were housed here. There are guided tours during the summer. Close by: the designer outlet Wustermark.Rosa-Luxemburg-Allee 7014641 Wustermark

Olympic StadiumBuilt for the 1936 Olympic Games. Hitler’s VIP stand was removed after 1945. Modern-ized in 2004. Blue tartan track!Olympischer Platz 3

Avus HotelThe automobile traffic and training road, AVUS for short, is the first highway in the world, once even the venue for Formula 1 (1959). The best place to marvel at it: from the Avus Hotel.Halenseestraße 51 Sternfahrt BerlinJune 5, 2016 | The world’s largest bicycle demonstration, all of the routes meet at the Große Stern. This is your chance to ride a bike on the city highway.

Critical MassAnother bicycle demonstra-tion, in the middle of traffic: every last Friday of the month at 8:00 pm, starting from Mari-annenplatz in Kreuzberg. In accordance with the StVo, or the German Road Traffic Regulations.

Sportforum HohenschönhausenOlympic training center with tradtition, a competitive sports center for 60 years. Ice skating, for example, is open to everyone. Weißenseer Weg 53

Schwimm- und Sprunghalle europark (SSe)This indoor swimming pool was designed by French archi-tect Dominique Perrault for the (unsuccessful) bid for the 2000 Olympics. For recreation and leisure professionals.Paul-Heyse-Straße 26

VelodromThe round counterpart of the SSE, also designed by Perrault for the Olympic bid. Six-day racing takes place here, as well as concerts.Paul-Heyse-Straße 26

Theater Sports in the BKASport is definitely a synonym for improvisation: the performerteams of Spartak Stanislawski and Dynamo Duse compete against each other every Monday night.Mehringdamm 34

Sports metropolis Berlin Six professional sports clubs, combined under one roof – that is the initiative Sports metropolis Berlin. Its greatest coup: One ticket for all clubs. www.superticket.berlin

Berlin new Year’s run, January 1, 2017 | The first chance to follow your resolutions: go for a jog on New Year’s Day without registration, but with a great deal of ambition (the route is 4 km long). Sightseeing is included: the route extends from the Brandenburg Gate to the Berlin Cathedral and back.

23The number 23 is the magic number for all kinds of conspir-acy theories – and this didn’t just start with Hans-Christian Schmid’s 1998 movie 23 – nichts ist so, wie es scheint (23 – nothing is As it Seems). in this film, Schmid tells the true story of a young hacker who is a member of the Chaos Computer Club and becomes a KGB spy against his will. During the Cold War, Berlin was the »capital of spies«; today, activists fight against algorithms. So: is it, or does it only seem to be?

The former listening post of the US Armed Forces with its typical antenna dome serves as a pictur-esque decaying retro backdrop for the surveillance of yesteryear.

But of course. need to buy some medi-cine for your headache at 6 in the morning? Berlin has you covered. There is no city-wide closing time in Berlin and there are lots of after hours clubs and nighttime cultural events. Berlin is the city where nothing comes to an end. And as long you get your rest, however you get it, everything is great.

Have we forgotten anything? There is also an invisible part of Berlin: the part that is literally underground. The group Berliner Unterwelten was been exploring what lies beneath the pavement since 1997 and has found a lot of exciting things: a bunker from the Second World War or subway tunnels taken out of commission during the Cold War and old, out-of-use sewer systems. Anyone looking to personally explore these dark spaces can join one of the regularly offered tours.
