Summary

A brief epilogue suggests that any attempt to capture the ‘essence’ of Berlin is predestined to be rapidly outdated, as the city continues to develop and change, and Berliners of widely differing backgrounds and outlooks contest alternative ways forwards in a conflict-ridden world. And this self-awareness, this energetic engagement with both the past and the future, is itself an inherent part of the city’s ever ambiguous appeal.
