With the concert hall in the center, the French Cathedral and the German Cathedral, the Gendarmenmarkt is for many today the most beautiful square in Berlin. Like perhaps no other square, it reflects the changing history of the city. Life on the square and its face have changed again and again. But what about it is old, what is new? What is original, what is a copy? You can see the changes through the ages if you stand on the square, look around and look closely.
