In 1971, my parents and I visited East Berlin shortly after my 13th birthday. The adventure was on a whim, but the experience was a “life changer.” If my memories of the city were not s…

New nations seem to pop up with alarming regularity. At the start of the 20th century, there were only a few dozen independent sovereign states on the planet; today, there are nearly 200! Once a nation is established, they tend to stick around for awhile, so a nation disappearing is quite uncommon. It's only occurred a handful of times in the last century. But when they do, they completely vanish off the face of the globe: government, flag, and all. Here then, in no particular order, are the top ten countries that had their moment in the sun but are, alas, no more.

Fernsehturm, Centrum-Warenhaus und bulgarische Stripperinnen: Mit aller Macht versuchten Walter Ulbricht und Erich Honecker ab den sechziger Jahren, Ost-Berlin auf "Weltniveau" zu bringen. Plattenbauten und ein pompöser Palast der Republik entstanden, während der Rest des Landes verfiel.

Die S-Bahnstrecke nach Tegel sollte schon längst ausgebaut sein, damit die Züge dort häufiger rollen können. Bislang gab es nur leere Versprechungen - jetzt immerhin einen Zeitplan.
Berlin hat eines der ältesten und größten Straßenbahnnetze der Welt mit einer wechselvollen Geschichte. Bereits 1881 fuhr die erste „Elektrische“ durch Groß-Lichterfelde. Während die rumpelnden und quietschenden Straßenbahnen bis heute nicht aus dem Stadtbild im Osten der Stadt wegzudenken (und zu überhören) sind, wurden sie im Westteil der Stadt ab 1954 schrittweise stillgelegt und durch Busse ...
"40 Jahre Eisenbahn in Volkeshand!" staat er op het gebouw van de Reichsbahndirektion in Erfurt. Boven de poort is het wapen van de DDR aangebracht. Op de andere vleugel staat: "40 Jahre erfolgreiche Entwicklung des sozialistischen Eisenbahnwesens!". Een KT4D-koppelstel bestaande uit de motorwagens 452+451 op lijn 5 stopt bij de halte Hauptbahnhof. In 1985 werd het tramlandschap in Erfurt gedomineerd door deze gelede Tatra-trams. Op werkdagen reden zij zelfs in driewagencombinaties. Bekijk mijn fotoalbum in de klassieke versie.
\"A vivid portrait of the counterculture that flourished in Berlin after the fall of the Wall and turned the once-divided city into Europe's capital of cool\"--\nBerlin in the early 1990s, right after the fall of the Berlin Wall: this is the place to be. Berlin-Mitte, the central district of the city, with its wastelands and decaying houses, has become the centre of a new movement. Artists, musicians, squatters, club owners, DJs and ravers are reclaiming the old city centre and bringing it back to life. This interregnum between two systems - the collapse of the old East Germany, the gentrification of the new Berlin - lasts only a few years. West Berliners, East Berliners and new residents from abroad join together to create music, art and fashion, to open bars and clubs and galleries, even if only for a few weeks. In the months following the fall of the Wall, there is a feeling of new beginnings and immense possibilities: life is now, and to be in the here and now feels endless. The phrase 'temporary autonomous zone' is circulating, it describes the idea - romantic and naive but, in the circumstances, not absurd - that, at a certain moment in history, you can actually do whatever you want. Ulrich Gutmair moved to West Berlin as a student in autumn 1989: two weeks later the Wall came down. He spent the next few years studying during the day in the West and exploring the squats, bars and techno clubs in the East at night. He fell in love with House and Techno and raved at Tresor, Elektro, Bunker and many other places that in the meantime have almost disappeared from collective memory. Ten years later he decided to write a book about that period in between, when one regime was brought down and a new one wasn't yet established. When utopia was actually a place to inhabit for a moment.

The first publication on the inventive architectural visions developed for Berlin's 750th anniversaryIn 1987, Berlin celebrated its 750th anniversary on both sides of the wall that partitioned the city. In their efforts to recognize this milestone despite the literal division of their country, architects in East and West Berlin constructed a variety of notable buildings as they explored concepts of urban repair and postmodernist design. Today, these buildings have been modified, threatened with demolition, or disappeared completely, but their legacy as witnesses to a new era of design remains, and is surveyed in this publication. Featured architects include: Hinrich and Inken Baller, Christian Enzmann and Bernd Ettel, John Hejduk with Moritz Müller, Josef Paul Kleihues, Michael Kny and Thomas Weber, Hans Kollhoff, Dorothea Krause, Rob Krier, Peter Meyer, Frei Otto with Hermann Kendel, Martin Küenzlen and Günther Ludewig, Manfred Prasser, Günter Stahn, Helmut Stingl, James Stirling and Michael Wilford, Peter Stürzebecher, Kjell Nylund and Christof Puttfarken, Oswald Mathias Ungers and Solweig Steller-Wendland.
Jake Geismar cut his teeth as a foreign correspondent in pre-war Berlin. When he returns in 1945 to cover the Potsdam conference he finds the city unrecognisable - streets have vanished beneath the rubble, familiar landmarks truncated by high explosive. But amongst the ruins Berliners survive, including some he knew and, miraculously, his lost love, Lena. However, in the same way she refused to leave with him before the war, Lena won't join him now without finding her husband and Emil has disappeared from the safe care of the Americans who, turning a blind eye to his links with Hitler, want his expertise as a rocket designer for themselves. Trawling through the shambles of the city, through the illegal night clubs and the thriving black market, Jake discovers that the twilight war of intrigue between west and east has already begun and that he could quite easily be one of its first casualties. This superb novel from the author of Leaving Berlin is now rightly considered a modern classic.

In this novel of conflicting allegiances played out between a richly realized late Cold War Berlin and the stark beauty of the Cycladic islands, travellers, natives, and refugees circle one another warily, their fates hanging on the question of which trusts if any, will remain unviolated.
