Touristic information
Berlin (3.5 million inhabitants).
Is the capital of Germany and, since not so long ago, the government centre. The history of Berlin is inseparably tied to the Second World War and its aftermath. In the second half of the 20th Century, Berlin was dominated by the wall which cut it in half and divided East Berlin from West Berlin for almost thirty years. Since the fall of the wall in 1989, Berlin is busily becoming one of the hippest cities in Europe. For historical things to see, such as the Reichstag and Brandenburger Tor, memorials of a recent past, such the Gedächtniskirche and Checkpoint Charlie, and the new Berlin, such as the Holocaust monument and the Sony Centre, Berlin is ‘the place to be!’

You can also shop to your heart’s content in Berlin. Start at Kurfürstendamm, where all the famous stores have a branch, but where you can also find luxurious small boutiques. On the corner of Tauentzienstrasse, there is KaDeWe (Kaufhaus des Westens), the largest store in Europe. Niketown is also on Tauentzienstrasse: 3500 m2 full of the latest sport fashion. There are many places to go out to in Berlin: in the summer there are numerous terraces around Kurfürstendamm and Unter den Linden. Other well-known places for going out are the areas of Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg in the east of the city.

A few places worth seeing:

* Kurfürstendamm - Before reunification, this was the centre of West Berlin. Berliners call it the ‘Kudamm’. Here you will find many shops, restaurants and galleries.

* Gedächtniskirche - At the end of Kudamm, there is the ruin of Kaiser Wilhelm I-Gedächtniskirche. The church was built at the end of the 19th Century in remembrance of Keizer Wilhelm I and it was seriously damaged during the Second World War. Only the tower remains and this is badly damaged. The tower was left un-repaired as a warning of the consequences of war.

* Potzdammerplatz with the DaimlerChrysler Quartier – Before the Second World War, Potzdammerplatz was a busy entertainment district. Not much was left after the war and the wall was built diagonally over the square. Buildings rapidly went up after the fall of the wall: places to go out, restaurants, a enormous covered shopping centre, mega-cinemas and offices, such as the architecturally impressive Sony Centre.

* Checkpoint Charlie – Checkpoint Charlie was a checkpoint at the Berlin wall. The post was closed after the fall of the wall. Later, a copy of the watchhouse was built. The ‘Haus am Checkpoint Charlie’ is a museum with images and objects that tell about the history of the wall and of the many escape attempts from East to West.

* Brandenburger Tor – was built at the end of 18th Century and has since qualified as a symbol of Berlin. Close by is the Reichstag that was repaired after the war. Since 1999, the German parliament has assembled here.

* Fernsehturm – The 365-metre-high television tower on Alexanderplatz is a landmark in former East Berlin. The 207-metre-high rotating Tele-café offers a beautiful view over the city.

* Tiergarten – A large park in the centre of the city. An oasis of peace, except in the weekends in the summer when thousands of real Berliners come here and barbecue.

* The District of Prenzlauer Berg is a dynamic and trendy part of Berlin.
It is described as the personification of the ‘Wild East’ because of the large number of restaurants and bars. Many of them can be found at the Kollwitzplatz that forms the centre of the neighbourhood. There are also many bars near the ‘Wasserturm (water tower) that are especially popular amongst tourist.

The Olympia Stadium in Berlin was the background to the final of the World Cup in 2006. The stadium was renovated from 2000 to 2004 especially for this. The number of seats was reduced to 75,000. The stadium was built by order of Adolf Hitler in the thirties for the Olympic Games that were held in Berlin in 1936. The stadium was renovated for the World Cup in 1974. It was also partially covered. The professional club Hertha BSC plays its home games at Olympia Stadium.

Program introduction
The organisers look forward to seeing all participants at the sport park on Friday afternoon. Team leaders will then receive all tournament information and of course everyone is welcome to spend some time at the sportpark before going to the hotel. The whole weekend is a tradional club-festival weekend where all members and teams are involved. There are many activities from Tombola and speed-shooting to snack stands and barbecue to
add to the football enjoyment. The tournament will start on Saturday morning (not too early!) when each team will play 3 group matches in a compact schedule. Sometime during the day the team leaders will be invited to a short reception in the clubhouse, during which club-souvenirs can be exchanged if they want. The 1st and 2nd placed team in each group qualifies for the final rounds on Sunday. The other teams are free to explore Berlin during the day, but of course are welcome to cheer the others on during the deciding rounds and finals. The prizes will be presented in the afternoon directly after the finals, and of course all are welcome to stay on for drinks and snacks at the club's festival. Participants are then more than welcome to take part in the various activities the club has planned before everyone leaves to spend their last evening in the exciting Berlin city centre.
