More information on Wilhelmstraße

Quai d´Orsay? Downing Street? Everyone knows them. But Wilhelmstraße? Never heard of it! Yet until 1945, this was the epicentre of Germany, the location of all major ministries and political institutions. The most notorious address is 78 Wilhelmstraße, Hitler´s Chancellery. It was here that the Führer drew up his plans for world domination and it was here that he commited suicide in the final days of the War. Nowadays, nothing is left of the Chancellery nor of the other ministries which were razed to the ground by American bombs and Soviet artillery. The only remnant of the Nazi period is Goering´s Luftwaffe headquarters—now home to the Ministry of Finance (pictured). Some of the buildings bear small plaques to inform visitors of what took place here. An interesting development is the new British Embassy whose creative and colourful facade doesn't quite fit in with the grey monoliths surrounding it.
