Thank you Germany: Part 028: A cosmopolitan city like Berlin is something to be proud of

Only a few other countries have lively metropolises like Berlin. Not everywhere has such a creative scene. And hardly any other city has such an eventful history. Formerly divided Berlin reflects the entire history of the Cold War and reunification. In beautiful Berlin, it is precisely the contrasts that characterise this special city. The most diverse neighbourhoods come together here in a very special capital city.

Many people from all over the world visit beautiful Berlin every year to get a first-hand impression of the city. Germans don't have to fly far to do so. They have this special metropolis right in their own country. Many new ideas are born here. Berlin has a rich start-up scene. Many start-ups have already launched ground-breaking ideas here. Anyone who wants to grow from a small project into a large company will find exactly the right contacts in Berlin. People with a lot of money come together in the capital with people who have good ideas for a project or a start-up. Added to this are the many contacts abroad. There is probably no other place that combines exactly these conditions. Even start-ups with little money can find coworking spaces or affordable rental rooms in Berlin.

Some spaces can be housed in a beautiful old building and place the useful idea in the centre of the big city. There are also many funding opportunities in the capital. The direct line to big politics helps some start-ups get off the ground. There are also plenty of charity and NGO projects in Berlin. You just have to make the right contacts and business will flourish. Many small companies here grow into large projects within a very short space of time. The careers of many an artist or manager have also taken off in Berlin. In the beautiful capital, anyone can get started quickly with their project. Diverse teams with intercultural expertise or people from other countries are also in demand here.

In the metropolis, the energies of every colourful bunch are put to good use. Nobody's path to success is blocked here. But even those who simply want to enjoy the many cultural offerings are never wrong in Berlin. Hardly any other city offers so many museums. From antiquity to contemporary art, everything is represented here. Theatre and sport are not neglected either. All these areas are comprehensively promoted and supported by the Berlin Senate.

The Berliners themselves know that they have such a wide range of offers and are proud of it. The open and direct manner of Berliners makes them famous throughout the country. It's not everyone's cup of tea. But those who appreciate Berlin will really love it and won't find a more beautiful city in the world. More and more residents are joining the ranks of these people. The metropolis is growing and growing and yet, or precisely because of this, offers everyone a very special quality of life. This is another reason why many people from outside the city are drawn to beautiful Berlin again and again.
