last time when i visited berlin (1993) my friend who lives there lived in
marzahn, the biggest high-rise estate of east berlin. that place had the
real east-german feeling. there was a park, where a 15-20 meters high
granite head of karl marx stood, just nearby my mates house. big head baby,
indeed!
