In this book, Maritta Tkalec, one of the best experts on Berlin's past, tells the eventful history of the city using 60 objects that symbolise their respective times. She covers everything from the famous moose from Hansaplatz to a modern-day cargo bike. Among the objects presented are the Eternal Lamp from the New Synagogue, a pneumatic tube from 1900, the condoms from Julius Fromm's factory, a Berlin-made brown shirt, the Glass Flower from the Palace of the Republic and Günter Schabowski's legendary note.
