Berlin Statues Named – Cosmos Tour
By stan. Filed in Cosmos Jewels of the Baltic Tour, Uncategorized |
Berliners have a real sense of humor and love to rename their statues, monuments and
buildings:
The lipstick and the compact
The Pope’s revenge
Jimmy Carter smile
Cheapest lady in Berlin
Garden of Eden
Communist East Berlin built a huge TV tower (shown here), one of the tallest structures in Europe. There’s a restaurant in the middle in a giant silver globe. One concept that the architects hadn’t factored in was how sunlight strikes the globe. It forms the shape of a cross. In those days of an Atheistic communistic state, this was called “The Pope’s revenge”.
