Landmarks of the Mitte district of Berlin, Germany, viewed from Marx and Engels Park

            In the foreground, two monolithic sculptures feature historical photographs of the the worker's movement around the world at Marx and Engels Park between Alexanderplatz and the River Spree in Berlin. 

The landmark Fernsehturm looms on the left. The Fernsehturm (German for "television tower") is a television tower in the city centre. Close to Alexanderplatz and part of the World Federation of Great Towers (WFGT), the tower was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the former German Democratic Republic administration who intended it as a symbol of Berlin, which it remains today. It is easily visible throughout the central and some suburban districts of Berlin. With its height of 368 meters, it is the tallest structure in Germany.

The Red City Hall (Rotes Rathaus) rises on the right. It is the town hall of Berlin, located in the Mitte district on Rathausstraße near Alexanderplatz. It is the home to the governing mayor and the government (the Senate of Berlin) of the Federal state of Berlin. The name of the landmark building dates from the facade design with red clinker bricks. The Rathaus was built between 1861 and 1869 in the style of the north Italian High Renaissance by Hermann Friedrich Waesemann.
