Gendarmenmarkt – always classical, yet ever-changing

Part of the series “Geheimnisvolle Orte” (“Mysterious places”)

With the Konzerthaus at its center, flanked by the French and German dome the Gendarmenmarkt, some say, is the most beautiful square in Berlin. Like perhaps no other square, it mirrors the changeful history of the city. Life on the square changed time and again – as did its face. But what of the square is old, what is new? What is original, what a copy? Many alterations through the ages are visible, when standing on the square and looking closely.

Maria Willer

is music journalist and was formerly, before founding the “3B-Produktion GmbH”, editor and presenter at the radio broadcaster “Klassik Radio” since 2003. Apart from her journalistic activities she has founded the “Musikkindergarten Hamburg”. Before working for the radio she was trainee as print journalist. In this way Maria Willer’s train of medial thinking spreads from the reader to the listener as well as to a film audience. Important for her is that stories reach out to human beings – whichever media is used.
