Berlin Philharmonie

A visit to the Berlin Philharmonic Hall is worth a trip in any case. After the old building was destroyed in World War II, the new Philharmonie was built in 1963 according to the plans of Hans Scharoun. Famous conductors such as Herbert von Karajan, Claudio Abbado and Sir Simon Rattle have helped the Berlin Philharmonie achieve worldwide fame in recent decades. The outstanding acoustics were calculated in detail at the planning stage and are still the standard by which other philharmonic halls are measured today. A component of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall is also a built-in organ, which comprises 91 stops. Due to the so-called "Weinberg architecture", one has a very good view of the stage almost everywhere.
