The former East Berlin is rebuilding itself from the ruins of the
second World War.
It's also putting up a lot of completely new buildings -- like these
at Potsdamer Platz. It's a totally new area, designed by some of the
world's best architects, that (as you can see from the first photos
below) is coming up quickly. In fact, the balloon is there to take
people up for a few minutes to see the latest (for a price that, I
hear, is almost as high as the viewpoint: about 20 euros for ten
minutes).
