Hi,

The area in Berlin you're referring to is 'The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe [...] the central place for remembrance and a place of warning.'

http://www.visitberlin.de/english/sightseeing/e_si_sehenswuerdigkeiten-details.php?code=16440

There are quite a few photos on the site (s.a.) - impressive too.

Cheers,
Esther

Wow that is impressive. Although they could have saved themselves a
little time by using highway=turning_circle for all those cul-de-sacs
and not having to render a perfect circle by hand :)

Total trivia.  Ever wonder where the most dense mapping in the OSM is?
  There are a few candidates:

Paris is impressive:

But if you look at how it's built, a lot of points are shared in relations
(as it should be, but not winning the most dense award)

In Germany there is a very dense field of buildings:

It's so dense, it doesn't really render well even in the closest tile set.
  It's a lot of points.  It's doesn't win in my books though because it's
such a limited area.
My vote for "most point dense" is part of Bakersfield, California:

My favorite part is how they rendered the street edges into the residential
ways.  They even include out buildings and trees.  Even at the closest zoom,
potlatch is all thumbs editing.  Wow.

Cool maps!

John
