Wilhelmstrasse is a street of historic importance and a name that represented the German government until 1945.
The massive building pictured above housed the Reich Air Ministry headed by Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring who ordered its construction, which took place between 1935 and 1936.
You have to gain some distance from the structure to appreciate its size. It has 2,800 rooms and 7 kilometres of hallways.
Although Berlin was decimated by allied bombing during World War II, this building survived.
