our senior correspondent gillick 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 it's butlins most visible land since he doesn't deny 969 the t.v. tower has attracted 60000000 visitors from all over the world. but it scary i didn't expect it to be quite so high when we looked for places to go in berlin we did the 1st thing we saw. the big dollars to come for the night every

modern man is exactly in the new one we'll. show you elevators transport guests to the top in just 40 seconds from the lift that takes visitors to the viewing platform at a 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 on a clear day you can see 80 kilometers. the revolving platform also doubles as a restaurant guests can enjoy an ever changing few joining the meal. and to come in and the tables are moving so 1st of all you have to find your table 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. brinkman is the boss here so he gets to play. he says most visitors don't see the antenna platform at 246

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

belgium the elevators from sweden and most troubling of all the stainless steel show. from a west german company over that 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 for the symbol of cross so they gave the building the nickname for the pope's revenge socialism calls to not told religion in high regard and the tallest buildings in the area well then churches legend has it that the communist 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. the revolving restaurant in the 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 got amazing and the red views of west but then. there was a joke going around at the time that if the t.v. tower collapsed while you having to do something not considered so unlikely to actually get lucky and and in the way 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. on the 3rd fortunately. coincidentally became day if you know the date of unification

and. has become something of a symbol of the unification of the young lady and they need the sites that the thorny issue that it was actually built to commemorate the founding of the state so much more convenience did so commemorate this for the present germans the way to make those 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 it's a target for 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 c. captured the energy and the studio as you can see in the background there is people around so norman all he turned to sessions in the party and he just would be doing a session 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 improvisation methodology really and how to get people to be sincere and honest and real.

and he 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 sea of signature style included imperfections but after a mistake on his 1st big shoot with the band he thought his career was dead. when so very wrong because he might have got you know his mistake you can see the reflection of the flash in the windows of the speakers that'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 showed the photos under bob cato's the door and it was so embarrassed. so bob looked at them and loved them the band loved them they didn't know how to get hold of no i'm confident put his phone number and. now see exporters 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 case as we started talking about creativity she suddenly garth's 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 or more that's incredible you would be so excited that i get the commercial shops in the last 5 minutes seems 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 is one of the smallest countries in the european union with just around 3000000 people think enough though to have its own
