A wonderful display architecture and imagination easily missed in the heart of Berlin.
The Märchenbrunnen is literally the fountain of fairy tales. There are statues depicting Little Red Riding Hood, Puss In Boots, Cinderella, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel and many more. I begin to wonder of the origins of these tales and their universality.
The entire Volkspark Friedrichshain was bombed out and has had many iterations, but the Märchenbrunnen has survived.
If you climb to the parks' peak you are in fact climbing the rumble of a Flak Tower, the massive WWII anti-aircraft structure that could house 30,000 civilians during air raids.
