Kurfürstendamm dateert uit de 16de eeuw, toen de gekozen Prins Joachim II een pad bouwden die zijn paleis verbond op de Unter den Linden met zijn jachtverblijf Grunewald bos. In de late 19de eeuw transformeerde Bismarck de gewone straat in een prestigieuze boulevard bekleed door prachtige herenhuizen. Vernietigd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog en herbouwd in de daaropvolgende decennia is Kurfürstendamm niet langer de schoonheid die het ooit was. Maar "Ku'damm"- zoals de Berlijners het liefdevol noemen, is nog steeds een symbool van rijkdom en voorspoed.
Deze tak van de beroemde Parijse warenhuis geeft een vleugje mediterrane elegantie aan de ietwat sobere Duitse hoofdstad. Gelegen in het Friedrichstadt-Passagen winkelcentrum op Friedrichstrasse, Oost-Berlijn Premier winkelstraat biedt de winkel de nieuwste mode uit cult ontwerpers als Yves Saint Laurent en Pierre Cardin. Het ontwerp van het gebouw, met zijn zonovergoten interieur en opvallende glazen dak, is even gewaagd. Het enige probleem is dat de platen van glas af en toe naar beneden vallen op de stoep en een ravage creëren onder passanten en nu de toorn van de lokale autoriteiten heeft gewekt. De voedselhal in de kelder is niet helemaal in dezelfde competitie als KaDeWe's legendarische voedselafdeling, maar is nog steeds een geweldige plaats om te komen en geniet van een paar verse oesters.

It's the most natural thing in the world to buy a book about Berlin in Berlin. This antiquarian bookshop stocks everything about the city, its roots and its history.

Maybe you'll overhear a couple of regular customers discussing their latest exploits on stage, new tricks or great gags. Or maybe you'll observe keen amateurs examining the colorful balls, clubs, swords and plates used by jugglers or old men with their heads deep in a textbook. A paradise for professionals and amateurs alike, the juggling selection at Die Jonglerie is rounded off by masks and make-up for performances. The shop also stocks a broad variety of children's toys from teddy bears and toy cars to water pistols and kites.

Some travel guide must have covered this little shop in Bergmannstraße, as it has become particularly popular with foreign visitors in recent years. Fortunately, it hasn't lost any of its charm, and still sells the same great selecion of second-hand American fashions. The big things at the moment are the stripy T-shirts, V-neck sports shirts, US Army trousers and blue boiler suits. Yet this shop stocks pretty much everything that fashionably old-fashioned Berliners love to wear: corduroy bell-bottoms, suede jackets with fur collars, baseball jackets, hooded sweat shirts and the like. A special section is dedicated to more glamorous outfits.
Anchored in Collectio Navalis's glass showcases are hundreds of miniature ships. They were built mostly to a scale of 1:1250 and this includes the beefy American aircraft carriers and menacing Japanese gunboats as well as cute little tug-boats and luxury ocean liners. This astonishing collection is the only one of its kind in Berlin and is popular with both German and foreign collectors. You will need a certain amount of knowledge to fully appreciate the miniature ships, so the shop also stocks plenty of books covering all aspects of seafaring.
