Between the M\u00fcggelberge and the Teufelsberg. Between the radio tower and the television tower. Between the Gardens of the World and the Botanical Gardens. Between the Tierpark and the zoo. Between Karl-Marx-Allee and Karl-Marx-Stra\u00dfe. Between Ostkreuz and Westkreuz. Between S\u00fcdkreuz and &#8211; watch out! &#8211; Gesundbrunnen. Berlin is full of stories that want to be discovered. We tell them in our acoustic <a href=\"https:\/\/stadt-im-ohr.de\/en\/audio-walk-mitte-schritte\/\">city tours<\/a>. With us, Berlin sights become places worth hearing.<\/p>\n<p>On this page, we present the people and places that appear in our audio walks.

But in reality it is hanging from the concrete pillar. Anna: The glazed dome is the first building in the world to be suspended from a tower. My favourite part is the caf\u00e9 inside. It has 200 seats and offers the best panoramic view of the city. Especially because it moves. It's on a rotating floor ring and it takes about half an hour to get round. (from the audio walk Mitte-Schritte, an audio walk through the historic centre of the city) It took three attempts before the Berlin television tower as we know it today could be built. Originally, it was to be built on the large M\u00fcggelberg hill. With its 114 metres, the highest natural elevation in Berlin seemed to be the ideal location. Or was it? The fact that the tower could disrupt flight operations in the direct flight path to the nearby airport in Sch\u00f6nefeld prompted Karl Maron, the GDR Minister of the Interior at the time, to stop construction in December 1955. By then, the tower was already an impressive 31 metres high. And this little television tower still stands today and is used by Deutsche Telekom. The 31 metres high first little tv tower is still to be found on the hill Gro\u00dfer M\u00fcggelberg. Five years later, permission was granted for the second attempt: The Berlin TV Tower was to be built on the grounds of Volkspark Friedrichshain by 1964.
