PBM 2010 - Venue

The Harnack House
The Harnack House has become a symbol of German academic research, a historical venue where science and
international politics have enjoyed center stage. The house is inseparable from the "Dahlem
Legend" - that worldwide reputation of an academic colony in the heart of Berlin that was founded
by the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, and where the most famous German researchers of their day lived and worked.
The Max Planck Society (successor to the Kaiser Wilhelm Society) aims to maintain this unique venue as a
forum for academic excellence and dialogue.

Berlin
PBM 2010 will be held in Berlin, the capital city of Germany. Located in the heart of Europe, Berlin is a
major center of culture, politics, media and science. Being the capital city of Prussia, the German
Empire, Weimar Republic, Third Reich, East Germany and today of the Federal Republic of Germany, it has
witnessed numerous key events in western history such as the Nazi Regime, the Battle for Berlin, Berlin
Blockade and the building of Berlin Wall. With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 not only the German
reunification process began but also the breakdown of the whole communist world. The Cold War has left
many places which can still be visited, for instance Checkpoint Charlie and Glienicke bridge. In 2010
Germany celebrates twenty years of reunification. Berlin offers a huge variety of cultural activities such
as museums, theatres, operas and concerts. It’s architecture includes historical (e.g. Brandenburg Gate,
Reichstag) as well as contemporary masterpieces (e.g. Potsdamer Platz and new Government District). The
city has a vivid multicultural gastronomy with restaurants and pubs offering more than German beer with
sausage and kraut.
