our senior correspondent gives much of this is going to take us there for a taste. but 1st it's the symbol of a country that no longer exists and a city that was once divided 50 years ago communist east germany completed construction on the berlin t.v. tower just in time to mark the now defunct country's 20th anniversary the imposing structure was meant to show the world what east germany was capable of and the tower still dominates berlin skyline today attracting a 1000000 visitors a year. with the heights of 368 meters its butlins most visible is that. since he doesn't deny 969 the t.v. tower has attracted 60000000 visitors from or over the world. a bit scary i didn't expect it to be quite so high when we look for a basis to go into when we hear the 1st thing we saw. the big dollars you remember the nice every money man is actually in the new $1.00 we'll. show you elevators

transport gas to the top in just 40 seconds and you can lift that takes visitors to the viewing platform at the height of 200 free meters has a top speed of 21 kilometers per hour. for safety reasons i mean 350 people are allowed on the platform at any one time and on a clear day you can see 80 kilometers. the revolving platform also doubles as a restaurant guests can enjoy an ever changing few joran the meal. to come in and the tables are moving so 1st of all you have to find your table and this is then you are amazed by the view that greets you so yes it's very special when you come up those definite you know wow effect of. thorsten brinkman is the boss so he gets to play. he says most visitors don't see the antenna platform at

246 meters for example. told me it's an architectural achievement and above all a mosque the full piece of engineering my colleagues thought up using slide rules and black people which is quite remarkable. the berlin television is not just a tool for tourists it's also a very special building that can tell many times about the division of germany and reunification. and here with me now is do w. cultures adrian canada adrian this tower was supposed to demonstrate the achievements sapir you already would say communist east germany did it really well that is testimony to german engineering but i have to tell you that not only in engineering because some of the components had imported from the west who are

example the wind came from belgium the elevators from sweden and most troubling of all the stainless steel show. from west german company over the disco ball there so this was a this was a west german disco actually secretly and as a propaganda tool for east germany in some ways the tower kind of backfired didn't it in a way because berlin is very quickly noticed that when the sun shone on and sometimes formed the symbol of cross so they gave the building the nickname the pope's revenge socialism of course did not hold religion in high regard and the tallest buildings in the area up till then had been churches legend has it that the communists was so incensed about the cross problem that they considered tearing the talent down but this is just legend is actually really quite little evidence to suggest that the communists or as. such a great problem does make

a good story doesn't it the revolving restaurant in the big tower that was a pretty big hit with these germans wasn't it yes it was some suggest it has more to do with the fact that you go amazing and read views of west linn. there was a joke going around at the time that if the t.v. tower collapsed while you having to know something not considered so unlikely thank you mine actually get lucky and in the west lucky enough to be having dinner in a collapsing tower let me get this straight the tower is celebrating its birthday on october 3rd this in germany is a big holiday marking reunification of germany but the tower itself was actually built to mark the birthday of communist east germany which would be on october 7th that's why and it did actually open to the public but it was you know created on the 3rd fortunately. coincidentally became day of the you know the

unification and. has become something of a symbol of the unification of the young but they hadn't and they need sidestepped the thorny issue that it was actually built to commemorate the founding of the state ok so much more convenience did to commemorate this for the present germans the way to make this a monument for everyone and not just for the former communists thank you adrian kennedy so much for giving us that insight into germany's highest structure thank you. and crossing the iron curtain back to the west now it was the height of rock'n'roll and no one captured it quite like photographer norman see after brief careers as a soccer player and a doctor she became a celebrity photographer catching the attention of the stars with his wild and rowdy photo shoots and their exhibition here in germany pays tribute. sax drives rock n roll ike and tina turner and body the spirit of the seventy's like no one else

and 975 photographer norman seif captured the energy and the studio as you can see in the background there's people around so norman all he turned his sessions into parties and he just would be doing a session and invite everybody off the street in that can you imagine there were $200.00 people. and just getting crazy it was. like joni mitchell. singer van morrison what you. want. are comedian steve martin. so he was developing this technique of how to get these spontaneous improvisational methodology really and how to get people to be sincere and honest and real.

and you had different methods to do this he wants through a car he can frank zappa's fice and that didn't work at all so a huge microphone shuts the next 2 curtis mayfield jodie foster is being fanned with a piece of cardboard save signature style including imperfections but after a mistake on his 1st big shoot with the band he thought his career was dead on the job when chevy wrong because he might have got you know his mistake you can see the reflection of the flash in the windows on the speakers and it's so he went back to new york and drove on his way home and said my career is over before it began and he just shoved the photos under bob cato's the door and i was so embarrassed. so bob looked at them and loved them the band loved them they didn't know how to get hold of the one he didn't put his phone number and. now 6 voters and display and cologne germany we caught him at a studio in l.a.

to tell about his photo session with the late great child. so we need a ride he was in a bad mood and us cases as we started talking about creativity she suddenly got us where i was coming from and she started to express in some of the most articulate conversation i've ever had. what goes on. as he's working now you look like another man one formal that's incredible you would be so excited that i get commercial shots in the last 5 minutes cvs total for a child as world famous it's absolutely about the relationship with your i think we've got the session ok. or the legend the former soviet state of lithuania as one of the smallest countries in the european union with just around 3000000 people think enough though to have its
