Berlin Wall and Hotel in Germany

The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer) was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin.[1] The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls,[2] which circumscribed a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that contained anti-vehicle trenches, "fakir beds" and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in East Germany. In practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that marked Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period.

Eiffel tower and hotel in paris

eiffel tower

The Eiffel Tower in Paris was built in 1889 for the Universal Exhibition. Standing 300 metres high, it was the tallest man-made structure of its time. The only practical use of the Eiffel Tower is to provide splendid views over Paris, and its real purpose was to demonstrate that France was a leader in the technical world.
