"The topics are shining in summer -

It is impossible to leave the sun.

But in the bushes at such a time

All can drink, eat "

(Student amateur, Novosibirsk, beginning. 1980x)

It was so that Germany, in the minds of many, is connected not only with cars, classical music, engineering thought, but also with a foam low alcohol drink produced on the basis of malt using hops and yeast.

Last year, I published on this site Tip concerned best places Fresh air beer use in the second largest city in Germany - in Hamburg. Today in turn of the capital. Berlin.

The city pleases the abundance of numerous cafes, restaurants, beer, etc. Peteing establishments that exhibit tables and chairs to the street in the summer and giving the opportunity to quench the thirst for the noise passing by cars or contemplating numerous tourists, inhabitants of neighboring houses, workers of the surrounding offices and just passersby. A good example is the "iconic" institution "Ständige vertretung» (Schiffbauerdamm 8, 10117 Berlin address) and neighboring restaurants located on Schiffbauerdamm (nearest metro station and urban trail - Friedrichstrasse). It is often a venue in the sun, for the "middle tourist", chairs and tables on the gendarme market.

At the same time, in Berlin, there is also the fact that in the capital of Bavaria - Munich, that is, "Beer Gardens". Immediately should warn that in Berlin these gardens are somewhat different from Munich. But what can you do, Berlin is all different from Munich and it would be strange if the similarity was only in terms of the conditions of consumption of beer in the fresh air (by the way, drink straight from the bottle, grabbing from home or purchased in the store, you can right in the park or just on the street).

But beer, it and in Berlin just beer, but the atmosphere ....

So, Berlin's beer gardens.

I will start with places located near the sightsets and their similar tourist routes:

"PRATER BIERGARTEN." it The institution, rightfully, deserves the name "beer garden", due to the presence of chestnuts on its territory. Prater Biergarten is located in an incredibly raw location in Prenzlauer Berg. It is poured here since 1837, i.e., even before the emergence of Germany. Address: Kastanienallee 7-9. Getting started at noon. Looking for fresh air and traveling with children, I would not really advise you to walk here. The garden, in my understanding, should have more than greens.

Excellent establishment called Zollpackhof Located on the shore of the spree not far from the department of the Federal Chancellor (Lewoist is in sight). Perhaps, so, drinking beer and looking at the walking boats passing by past, you may find politicians, officials and businessmen next to themselves for quenching thirst, which has arisen in solving important state-owned and private issues. From the heat saves the luxurious crown of almost half-imaging chestnut. If the weather is not very, you can go under the roof of a very pleasant restaurant. ELISABETH-ABEGG-STRAßE 1, 10557 Berlin

Until late in the evening, when the sun had already disappeared behind the horizon, you can enjoy in the Tiergarten Park in the "Cafe on the New Lake" ( Café Am Neuen See). This is one of the oldest and favorite Berlin beer restaurants under open sky. You can drink beer here at 10:00, and on Saturday and Sunday - an hour later. Lichtensteinallee 2, 10787 Berlin address. Those who wish can rent a boat. From the restaurant hand to send to the zoo.

In Tiergarten, there is another remarkable institution in which you can enjoy a beer and other drinks (and, of course, to eat). Institution called Schleusenkrug. This place is convenient in particular for those who want to be refreshing after visiting the largest flea market in the city or to read before visiting the Zoo (Zoologischer Garten). This restaurant is remarkable from a historical point of view - he was on the "vertical" border between Western and Eastern Berlin. Work time from 10:00 to 0:00. Müller-Breslau-Straße address, 10623 Berlin.

If Berlin's beer gardens listed above are a tribute to tradition, the beer garden, the kernel will be discussed now - this is Berlin ultra-modern. The connoisseurs of modern musical and club culture do not need to tell what "Berghain" is. Directly next to this club is a restaurant " Rüdersdorf." The establishment pleases the atmosphere, beer and excellent

Why did the Australian writer take the topic of his novel Berlin of our days and Nazism?

The world was plunged into the war with Germany twice. And now the same strength - German magnates and Prussian militarists, - Forest Hitler, are again preparing togging the flame of the New World War in the hope of taking revenge.

Ten thousand miles separating Australia from Germany, did not save my people in no first or in the second world War from many human victims. My childhood, which took place in the distant provincial town, was overshadowed by the death of my loved ones.

Much testified to the barbaric nature of the Nazis in the first years after the arrival of them to power. Since 1934, the stories of people who fled from Germany from political or racial persecution have multiplied the list of Nazi crimes.

In 1951, I first visited France. The case has reduced me with one French family, which has undergone unheard of flour from the hands of the Nazis. And in the following years I had to repeatedly hear about the barbarism of the Nazis all the way, ranging from the Belgian border to the azure coast.

In France, I have attended judicial processes over military criminals, which appeared to justice only ten years later after the crimes committed.

I happened to hear how the public prosecutor demanded that the Germans, General Lammending, guilty of destroying the Oradura - a small village, erased by the Nazis from the face of the earth with all its population: men, women and children. However, neither English, nor the American occupation authorities "could not" find Lammerding, although his location was well known to them. Now this military criminal is held by a great post in West Germany.

Monthly months in Italy gave me the opportunity to get acquainted with the atrocities, perfect Nazis against Italian patriots.

Following the defeat of Hitler, the years of passionate struggle of the peoples of Europe against the rearmament of Western Germany began. But, neglecting the lessons of history, the governments of America, England, France made every effort to ensure their former enemy for several years to respondents who would allow him to stand on the path of the Third World War. And only the heroic struggle of peoples for peace and for disarmament can prevent the world catastrophe.

I went to West Germany. There I saw the person to see what the great German writer Thomas Mann wrote about, forever leaving my country: the Western powers openly contribute to the return of the Nazis and war criminals convicted by the court of allied powers in Nuremberg.

Returning to Australia in 1957, I was shocked, learning how widely the false statements of pronocyst emigrants were common, which stated that the concentration camps, these scientifically based death camps, - "Propaganda of the Red"; What mass murders, torture, gas cameras are all "red propaganda". Honest Australians, like immigrants misleading, wanted to know the truth.

And I decided to learn the truth from the original source.

So, in the summer of 1959, I visited those countries for which the Nazi armies were held: in Albania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland and the Soviet Union. I visited the places where the concentration camps and death camps were located: in Teresain, Buchenwalde, Ravensbruck and Auschwitz. I talked to survivors. And in front of me all the monstrous picture of Nazism unfolded. For months with me in West Berlin in the summer and in the fall of 1959, with terrifying clarity showed me that the same people obsessed with the same ideas, again prepare the world the same fate. Western newspapers, with rare exceptions, keep silence. Only a few honest journalists make every effort to reveal the truth. The leaders of the West German government openly demand to untie the war. "Prussian officer" is presented with German youth as a "sample of nobility". In schools, children inspire that Hitler was a "great statesman." Kiosks are clogged with magazines praising the acts of the Nazis.

Military criminals occupy responsible posts in the government and on the diplomatic arena. Justice bodies, the police are almost entirely in the hands of the former Nazis and SESSERS; Their names, biographies, the rooms of party tickets are recorded in the cards of all the world's leading newspapers. Nazis doctors from concentration camps enjoy government support.

In short, the Western Berlin, described in my book "Hot Summer in Berlin," is Berlin, which I saw in the summer of 1959. And all the events, all the characters are taken from life.

The door of the cabin slammed. Shocked by unfortunate anger Stephen, Joy leaned his head to the Illuminator: the world in her eyes was shaken. And "Tangaratta" smoothly slid along the glossy surface of the sea.

There, behind the board, the light that fell from the deck, the snake was wriggled on black waters, and white foam on the ridges of the waves was dissolved in the dark. Wet and warm breeze caused by the movement of the vessel, blew in the face, not refreshing and without soothing. Stephen was not near her, she had no one with whom was to share this lawless night with a black sky hanging over the sea, on which through the fog flickering lonely stars. Lying on the bed, throwing his hands behind his head, she painfully worried her loneliness. Thoughts were rare in the brain. She lay for a long time, without tearing off the eye from the door, vaguely thinking that it would be necessary to get up and open the door: the heat stood unbearable. Buzzing electrical fans have little helped.

But she did not get up. Mentally, she climbed after Stephen on the upper deck. Last night, when he also suddenly ran out of the cabin, she went after him. Every night after sailing from Sydney, setting a daughter to sleep, they walked on the nose of the ship admire how the wave vessel was broken by a cascade of phosphorescent splashes, as diving and frolic, flashing spins, dolphins.

So it was still. But today Stephen in anger ran out of the cabin, as well as last night, when she at the request of the new passenger began to play Minuet Mozart.

Again and again asked himself: "What with him! What happened?" Having turned over its actions in memory, she did not find anything in them, which could blame themselves. She knew her flaws well, and nine years of marriage taught her that their serene life was disturbed only because of the trifles, which should not be given importance. Until now, these were short breaks. And when she happened to flare - and she did not have learned to own himself, - Stephen got up and, without saying a word, left the room. She immediately took himself in his hands and ran after him, and Stephen perceived it as a silent request for forgiveness, and their lives again flowed happily and serenely.

For a long time she has not experienced outbreaks of anger: Exposure Stephen acted on it cut down.

No, today she is nothing to reproach himself. Truly, the journey proceeded remarkably from Sydney himself: beautiful weather, comfortable cabin, a wonderful steamer for twelve passengers - a floating island between the two worlds! The former concerns disappeared without a trace, and the new ones have not yet entered their rights.

And unless Stephen did not rejoice in the journey! True, at first he did not approve of her ventiy. But now he enjoyed the journey from his whole soul: he was engaged in the deck of sports, sailed in the pool, talked lively at the table. Usually such a serious, he is so fun, so caped so caught!

Care of the house was thrown away, about the children who gave her so much trouble, Stephen threw out of work. It seemed to them that they were again experiencing a honeymoon. When Stephen kissed her, the years as if they came back, she again was young, not woken up, and she was awakened in response to his passion. Was it an influence of the tropics, southern sky, the moon, shrouded with silver islands, scattered along the mirror waters of the coral sea, would have sweat their ship? Was it an effect on the sun, silver-pearly in the morning, and in the afternoon and in the evening, the blue and evening of the blue and evening, the turquoise, sapphire, cobalt and ultramarine? But no matter what was the reason, the passion flared them, as in the first days of proximity. And the years just gave love a great fullness. Sometimes she woke up, as from a push: it seemed to her that her calls Ann. Ann's voice pulled her from the past, returning to reality. But even now, lying without sleep, tormented by doubts, remembering his tenderness, she felt excitement.
