775 candles for Berlin
On October 28th in the area between Schlossplatz, the Nikolaiviertel district and the TV-tower will turn into a big celebration area, as all the celebration events will culminate in a huge Berlin's 775-year anniversary party.
From 7 to 10 pm guests will be awed with fire-breathing sculptures, flaming garlands from the French fire poet Carabosse and a world full of wonder and surprises with the Titanick street theatre.
The 775th anniversary of Berlin traces back to the first documented mention of Berlins twin city Cölln on 28 October, 1237, yet Berlins actual beginnings lie assuredly in medieval darkness. What is sure is that the historical origin of Berlin took place in the thirteenth century from the first settlement presumably already before 1200 to the order of the Margraves in 1307 to unify the Berlin-Cölln double settlement and fortify a city wall.
Admission free.
