What is Mitte (locality)?
[[File:Über den Dächern von Berlin.jpg|thumb|View over Mitte]] '''Mitte''' was the most central [[wikt:locality|locality]] of [[Berlin]] (''Mitte'' is German for centre). It was set up in 1920, when [[Groß-Berlin]] was set up, and in 2001 it was joined with Wedding and Tiergarten to make a new borough called [[Bezirk Mitte]]. Mitte was in [[East Berlin]], and had a lot of Berlin's historic sites. The [[Pergamon Museum]], [[Unter den Linden]] and the [[Brandenburg Gate]] were in Mitte. In 2001, Mitte was joined with two boroughs from [[West Berlin]]. This helped to break down the idea of a [[Berlin Wall|divided city]], and put the important tourist centre of Berlin under one local government. ==Related pages== * [[Berlin-Mitte]] {{Boroughs of Berlin}} {{geo-stub}}
