Ständige Vertretung
Permanent Mission
Ständige Vertretung stands for Permanent Mission. In times of the cold war the West-German Federal Republic and the East German Democratic Republic didn’t have regular embassies, but Permanent Missions in Bonn and East-Berlin. Nowadays Ständige Vertretung represents Rhenish food specialities and beer. Excellent tarte flambee (Flammekuchen).

Tränenpalast
Palace of Tears
Millions of visitors leaving East Berlin by train said tearful goodbyes to their friends and relatives from the East at this former border checkpoint. Hardly a year after the wall came down, the building was turned into a nightclub until it was forced to close in 2006. It re-opened as a museum in September 2011 and now houses a permanent exhibition that brings the absurd normality of everyday life in the divided city back to life.
