| Posted on Mar 26 2009 at 5:28 PM |
For students it is good to have some history about Berlin before going there. The capital Berlin has about 3,4 million inhabitants.
At the end of the 17th century the area around Berlin was only scanty populated. The Thirty Years' War between 1618 to 1648, diveded the city in a half once more.
It was Prince Friedrich Friedrich Wilhelm, who started on the end of the of the Thirty Years' War a new immigration policy. Between 1648 to 1709 the total population raised from 6.000 to 57.000.
This was the foundation stone for Berlin becoming one of the most important cities in Europe and the rest of the world. For sure this is NEWS for you, but also a good start to get to know Berlin.
