ベーベル広場

Bebelplatz, the site of the 1933 Nazi book burning incident, has a glass-covered underground empty bookshelf sculpture in the center of the square to commemorate. Well, the Nazis burned books. We burned books more than 2,000 years ago. We also changed our cultural destiny. It's the same.

Surrounding the bronze statue of Frederick the Great, to the south is Bebelplatz, formerly known as the Plaza de Theatre. To the west of the square is the Baroque Old Royal Library of Humboldt University (Alte K nigliche Bibliothek) and to the southeast corner is the Sankt-Hedwigskathedrale, part of which imitates the architecture of the Roman Pantheon. It is the first and only Roman Catholic Church in Berlin before 1854.

ベーベル広場のクリスマスマーケット。入場料€2かかりましたが、賑わっていて雰囲気を楽しめます。

ベベル広場には二つの重点があります。いずれもナチスの暴政に関連しています。一つは中間地上にあるナチスの焼却記念碑です。二つ目の重点は聖ヘドヴィヒ大聖堂です。それぞれ象徴的な意味があります。

It's a square in downtown Berlin. On May 10, 1933, the Nazis held a book burning ceremony, burning about 20,000 books. Now every year, students at Humboldt University sell books in the square to commemorate.
