The majestic Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) dominates Museum Island with its green copper domes. Built between 1894 and 1905 in neo-Baroque and Italian Renaissance style, it is the largest Protestant church in Germany. The image captures the main facade with the Lustgarten fountain in the foreground, while the Fernsehturm, the 368-meter Television Tower, symbol of East Berlin, stands in the background. The contrast between the imperial architecture of the Cathedral and the socialist modernity of the tower summarizes the complex history of the city.
