The Bite Magazine - Spring 2019 - Issue 24

bite travel November will mark 30 years since the fall of the Wall O n 9 November 1989, Berlin was reunited. The Ber- lin Wall fell and the city saw the end of the border that had left it divided into East and West for 28 years, tearing apart families, friends and neigh- bours. For many people, the fall of the Wall was the best day of their lives – the day they regained their freedom through a Peaceful Revolution. This year is dedicated to the 30th anniver- sary of the Wall coming down and several exhibitions will take place across the city in commemoration of this anniversary. www.visitberlin.de/en/events-30th-anniversary-fall-of-the-wall Bauhaus 100 Germany is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus movement throughout the entire year of 2019. Founded in Weimar in 1919, relocated to Dessau in 1925 and closed in Berlin under pressure from the Nazis in 1933, this influential school of design, architecture, art, photography and theatre only existed for a total of 14 years. Despite this, the influence of the Bauhaus continues to this day all over the world. Berlin is marking the occasion with a year-long event programme, ‘100 years of Bauhaus in Berlin’, including Bauhaus Week Berlin 2019: 31 August - 8 September, which will transform the city into a stage for Bauhaus design concepts and social ideas in- cluding everything from exhibitions and artistic performances to workshops in architectural offices and design studios. www.bauhaus100.com Why Berlin is the Place to Visit in 2019 Jada Brookes reveals why Berlin in Germany is the place to visit this year and several of the events happening throughout the course of 2019.
