Public Art in Berlin -
Berlin, like many cities in Europe during
World War II, was devastated by airstrikes and
bombing. However, in rebuilding the city, a new
generation of public art began to (and in some ways
still does) reflect the city's tragic past. It is hard to
walk through the parks and streets without being reminded of
the horrors of war. There
are, however, several statues and sculptures which
survived the onslaught of World War II, creating a strange
and interesting mixture of art. Click here for more of
the Public Art in Berlin collection. Featured
public art include the Bismarck Memorial, Quadriga of Victory, Neptunbrunnen, St Gertrude statue, Jewish Memorial sculpture, Jewish Holocaust Memorial, Jewish Memorial Tablet, Golden Else, St George Fighting the Dragon Statue
and the Soviet War Memorial.
