It's me: Berlin. Yes, my face is from the Ice Age. You don't believe me, do you? Then take a look at the model. That's what I looked like after the Ice Age. Traces from that time can still be found today. Like my Ups and Downs: it goes up to Kreuzberg and down to Wannsee. Glaciers and melt water have shaped my profile. And I’ll tell you what’s interesting about this: like many Berliners, originally, I'm not even from here. I was pushed here underground from the north. Under their thick ice the glaciers dragged along a lot of sand and stones. Then their ice melted. What was left? Only water and sand. And what do you get when you put those two together? Exactly: a swamp! And that’s where I was founded: On two sand islands in the river. The location was good for trade. And that’ s where my name comes from: Berlin means "Place in the Swamp".
