"When the Wall went up, Charlottenburg became the commercial heart of West Berlin, as it remains today. The Lehrter Bahnhof is the point of entry for many first-time visitors to Berlin."

Admire this open-air art gallery by walking from one end of the wall to the other... note the Bruderkuss. The morning light is best for photos.
