Berlin (MachineGames)

Berlin (WeltHauptstadt Germania) is the capital of the Nazi German Third Reich.
In Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny, B.J. infiltrates locations within Berlin.
In the alternate timeline of Wolfenstein: The New Order, After World War II Adolf Hitler and Albert Speer were able to make their designs of Welthauptstadt Germania a reality. Mostly constructed out of Über Concrete, Berlin is the source of all orders to German states, provinces, puppet states, occupied areas, and colonies and is the resting place of the Military High Command of the Third Reich. It is also home to Eisenwald Prison, where members of the resistance are being held. 
== Overview ==
The Volkshalle ("People's Hall"), also called Grosse Halle ("Great Hall") or Ruhmeshalle ("Hall of Glory"), is a huge domed monumental building in Berlin, planned and designed by Hitler's architect Albert Speer.
The dome of the Volkshalle was to rise from a massive granite podium 315 by 315 metres (1,033 ft × 1,033 ft) and 74 metres (243 ft) high, to a total inclusive height of 290 metres (950 ft). The diameter of the dome was 250 metres (820 ft). It would have been almost as tall as the Empire State Building in New York City at 1,454 feet (443.2 m) tall. Inside the Volkshalle, there is a massive apse, covered with gold mosaics and enclosing a giant silver statue of the symbol of Germany, depicted as an eagle beneath which is situated the Führer's tribunal. From the podium there, speakers would be able to address more than 150,000 people, seated in three tiers of seats enclosing a giant circular arena. It would have been located where the current Spreebogen Park, Swiss Embassy, German Chancellery, Paul-Lobe House, German Republic Plaza and the Bundestag Building are currently located. To the north of the Volkshalle was the Grosses Becken ("Large Pool") with water provided by the River Spree, similar to the Reflecting Pool in Washington D.C. in front of the Washington Memorial. The Nördbanhoff would have been at the north end of the Grosses Becken near the current Berlin Central Train Station. In the series, monorails can be seen running along the Charlottenburger Chaussee and the Prachtallee, and it is presumed that monorails connected the major train station terminals, the Tempelhof Airport and other major destinations within the city, like the Reichskanzlei ("Reich Chancellery") near Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Olympic Stadium in the western half of the city north of Charlottenburger Chaussee, and Berlin Stadtbahn near Alexanderplatz ("Alexander Plaza") in the east.
The Volkshalle was to be at the northern end of the Prachtallee ("Avenue of Splendours") which would have been built on the earlier proposed Siegesallee ("Victory Avenue") which was a north-south boulevard originally planned by German Emperor William II in 1895. The Triumpfbogen ("Arch of Triumph"), was to be a huge triumphal arch that was to be 117 meters (383 ft) high and 170 meters (557 ft) wide, or about three times as large as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The arch was to be constructed after the Second World War, and was to honor the Germans who fell during previous wars, located at the southern end of the Prachtallee near Tempelhof Airport near the current Kolonenstrasse-Dudenstrasse. The Prachtallee would have terminated at the proposed Südbahnhof near the current Berlin Südkreuz train station.
=== Locations ===
===Eisenwald Prison===
The primary prison in the city, Eisenwald Prison is home to many captured resistance fighters, and is guarded by melee guards, kampfhunds and panzerhunds.
===Kreisau Circle HQ===
The headquarters of the Kreisau Circle Resistance within Berlin, situated beneath the Monuments of Truth.
===Reich Chancellery===
This is the main Reich command centre. The Furherbunker, where Hitler (presumably) would go if he was attacked by resistance fighters, is located here.
===Secret Police Headquarters===
The headquarters for the secret police in Berlin, used for monitoring citizens and interrogating prisoners. 
===Volkshalle===
The massive meeting hall of the Third Reich dominates the Berlin skyline. The Man In the High Castle series depicts the Volkshalle as the official residence of the Fuhrer. 
==Trivia==
*The real-life Fernsehturm Berliner can be seen in The New Order. However, the Fernsehturm in real-life wasn't completely built until 1969. However, it is an alternate timeline and its already established that due to improvements in technology the Nazis are able to build things much faster than Germans did in real life.
*Much of the city design in-game was based on Speer's real-life plans for post-war Berlin had the Axis powers won in World War II.
