Although it is generally believed that the Battle of Berlin completely wiped out the city, this is a myth. It is true that the last great battle fought in Europe meant that 80% of the buildings in Berlin suffered some kind of damage. The buildings were mostly repaired after the war. Because the buildings in Berlin used brick and wood as the main construction materials, the damage is not visible today in most buildings.
Yes, it is true that the center of the city suffered expressly. Many buildings were lost, but some are still standing. Nowadays attached to the museum Gemäldegalerie There is an old house with a stone facade that survived the battle. This building, kept standing as a reminder of the conflict, can be visited to see what the destruction caused by the war meant.
