Habt Ehrfurcht vor dem Baum, er ist ein einziges großes Wunder, und euren Vorfahren war er heilig. Die Feindschaft gegen den Baum ist ein Zeichen von Minderwertigkeit eines Volkes und von niederer Gesinnung des einzelnen.
Have reverence for the tree, it is one big miracle, and to your ancestors it was holy. The hostility to the tree is a sign of the inferiority of a people and of the low mentality of the individual.
Alexander Freiherr von Humboldt
(1769 – 1859), German naturalist, founder of biogeography
Nikolaiviertel (“Nicholas Quarter”) is the oldest part of Berlin, dating back to 1200. Like everything in the city, what we are seeing is not the original neighborhood, but a post-war reconstruction.
