Main Berlin Map 1:23,000
Berlin Metro MapBerlin has become one of the most transformed, rehabilitated and dynamic cities of the modern era.

Parts of the Berlin Wall stand as testimony to its dreary past; Museum Island exists with some of the most important museums in Europe. The infamous Brandenburger Tor stands proudly, ironically in front of the US Embassy. Then there's the bombed out Kaiser Wilhelm Gedachtniskirche. The addition of the new Holocaust Museum has become a reason to visit in itself.
The real Berlin is contemporary and stylish, its aesthetics driven more by artists, architects and chefs than by bureaucrats. If you are into contemporary architecture, walking Berlin will reward you because of the many new buildings and older modernist Bauhaus structures spread throughout the city.
The STREETWISE® Berlin Map enables you to experience all the excitement and sizzle Berlin, Germany has to offer. The avant garde capital of Europe these days is right here. Berlin in ’09 is what swinging London was in the 60’s. You won’t be disappointed.

Klassiker aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, -, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Vorwort*** Das nachstehende Gedicht schrieb ich im diesjährigen Monat Januar zu Paris, und die freie Luft des Ortes wehete in manche Strophe weit schärfer hinein, als mir eigentlich lieb war. Ich unterließ nicht, schon gleich zu mildern und auszuscheiden, was mit dem deutschen Klima unverträglich schien. Nichtsdestoweniger, als ich das Manuskript im Monat März an meinen Verleger nach Hamburg schickte, wurden mir noch mannigfache Bedenklichkeiten in Erwägung gestellt. Ich mußte mich dem fatalen Geschäfte des Umarbeitens nochmals unterziehen, und da mag es wohl geschehen sein, daß die ernsten Töne mehr als nötig abgedämpft oder von den Schellen des Humors gar zu heiter überklingelt wurden. Einigen nackten Gedanken habe ich im hastigen Unmut ihre Feigenblätter wieder abgerissen, und zimperlich spröde Ohren habe ich vielleicht verletzt. Es ist mir leid, aber ich tröste mich mit dem Bewußtsein, daß größere Autoren sich ähnliche Vergehen zuschulden kommen ließen. Des Aristophanes will ich zu solcher Beschönigung gar nicht erwähnen, denn der war ein blinder Heide, und sein Publikum zu Athen hatte zwar eine klassische Erziehung genossen, wußte aber wenig von Sittlichkeit. Auf Cervantes und Molière könnte ich mich schon viel besser berufen; und ersterer schrieb für den hohen Adel beider Kastilien, letzterer für den großen König und den großen Hof von Versailles! [...] *** Caput I*** Im traurigen Monat November war's, Die Tage wurden trüber, Der Wind riß von den Bäumen das Laub, Da reist ich nach Deutschland hinüber. Und als ich an die Grenze kam, Da fühlt ich ein stärkeres Klopfen In meiner Brust, ich glaube sogar Die Augen begunnen zu tropfen. [...]

Streetwise Munich Map - Laminated City Center Street Map of Munich, Germany - Folding pocket size travel map with integrated metro map including S-Bahn & U-Bahn lines & stationsThis map covers the following areas:
Main Munich Map 1:14,000
Munich Area Map 1:73,000
Munich Metro MapMunich, regional capital of Bavaria in south central Germany, is the second most popular destination in Germany after Berlin. The city is a center for culture and arts, with a staggering assortment of museums. It’s also a fun loving, convivial, good old fashion party town known for the annual Oktoberfest.
Munich is a city of contrasts. The Marienplatz is the heart of Munich and the site of its most important historic buildings. The square is dominated by the Neo-gothic Town Hall featuring its famous Glockenspiel. The Alte Pinakothek houses ones of Europe’s most important art collections. In contrast is the Hofbrauhouse where beer has been swilled at this world famous tavern site since it became a royal brewery in 1605. In Englischer Garten you’ll find Haus der Kunst, a popular place for art ehxibits. It’s located adjacent to one of the best river surfing spots in Munich (there are several): the Eisenbach River. You can stand on the bridge and watch as surfers carve turns on the icy water. The water is shallow and the water is fast, so this may not be the best place to try the sport for the first time, but it’s definitely worth watching as surfers line up for a chance to test their skills on this permanent 3 foot wave. And then there is Theresienwiese, the park on the west side of town where the vast beerhall tents are pitched for Octoberfest.
The main STREETWISE® map of Munich covers the central city in detail and contains all important sites, architecture, metro stations and parks. Also provided is an inset map which features Munich’s metro system and fare structure. This Munich map will enable you to navigate your way to Nymhenburg Palace or Olympic Park, both of which are outside the center city. A Munich Area map, which guides you in, out, and around Munich, is helpful in finding the Munich International Airport and other out of town sites.
Our pocket size map of Munich is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use.
