Political
confrontation between the western allies and the USSR led to the creation
of the "two Germanies" - FRG in the west and GDR in the
east in 1949 and 12 years later the construction of the famous Berlin
Wall (Berliner Mauer) began. This had separated the city not only
topographically but architecturally and culturally as well: officials
from the both sides - the eastern and western ones - were disregarding
the reconstruction plans of the other side and creating the image
of the city according to the "instructions from above".
As a result eastern and western Berlin do have different appearance
and cultural "message"...
