The World Time Clock at Night - Berlin, Alexanderplatz

[JustSayitforGodSake]

I don't think there is any intention to get rid of that atmosphere. It's a great tourist attraction. Ostalgie, communist housing blocks, Karl Marx Alle, Stasi museum, DDR Museum are great features for those who want to feel that atmosphere. There is even growing trend of DDR style hotels/hostels, such as Ostel.

The Alexanderplatz is really redolent with the DDR atmosphere -- day and night -- and I am sure it will stay that way for decades.
