View from the Welt Balloon over the city centre of Berlin in NE direction. The 368 m high Berlin TV Tower dominates the scene. It was completed in 1969 and still represents one of the tallest structures in Europe. Other significant buildings are from left to right: the Berlin Cathedral, St. Mary's Church, the reconstructed Berlin Palace, the hotel Park Inn, the city hall (Rotes Rathaus), and St. Nicholas' Church.
