The iconic Brandenburg Gate, regarded as a national symbol and again linking East and West Berlin, is now hostage to commercial promotions.

Actually it was not really promotion but the so called "Fan-Mile". That thing in front of the gate is a video screen about to be erected. People would gather to watch football together- these occasions became known as "public viewing". A neologism that adepts laugh at ;-) Great documentary style ~V~

I am glad I was there before this was put up. Your image shows how the World Cup has changed priorities in Berlin and in many other countries of the world! V
