This is the district of Tiergarten
 Tiergarten comes as two
parts. The political part and the romantic part.
The political part is the Reichstag (home of the German parliament), the Kanzleramt (office of the German chancellor) and Schloß Bellevue (residence of Germany's president). Followed by a variety of foreign embassies in often very futuristic buildings. The romantic part is Berlin's biggest park - the Tiergarten - from which the whole district got his name. Right through the park there's a street called "Straße des 17. Juni" that often is closed to traffic to make room for various events, as the Berlin Marathon, pop festivals, Christopher Street Day, the Love Parade or to be used as a fan mile for important soccer games. At night the street also is one of Berlin's red light districts. And last but not least the district is the location of the smaller one of Berlin's two zoos called Zoologischer Garten (the other one being called "Tierpark". "Tier" by the way in German means animal.
