BERLIN

The industry, cultural heritage and future of Germany's free world outpost are the themes of this privately sponsored pavilion. The round building is surrounded by a free-flowing blue awning and has a tent like roof of flexible plastic. A showcase inside displays samples of products made in West Berlin, and a short film illustrates the technological productivity of the city. There are Berliners who have won renown in many fields, and the work of current artists and sculptors is on display. A cartoon film shows West Berliners going about their daily chores. Maps with special lighting effects show the Berlin of the future.

When the government of West Germany decided not to go against the wishes of the BIEE, private companies stepped in to fill the gap. (CD23 Set 123 #18)
