Construction Site Eternal

Official Coat of Arms

A shield divided quarterly: bearing a crane rampant upon a field of orange traffic cones, surmounted by a crown of scaffolding, supported by two bears holding smartphones displaying delayed BVG notifications, with the motto 'Baustelle Über Alles' inscribed beneath on a ribbon of caution tape.

TripAdvisor Review

★★★☆☆ 3/5

"Visited Berlin expecting world-class museums and nightlife, got both plus a free archaeology lesson from all the construction sites. The U-Bahn was either under renovation or completely shut down, so I got my steps in walking between Mitte and Kreuzberg. At least the döner was excellent and the clubs really don't start until 2am, which gave me time to find them through all the scaffolding."

Twinned With

Any major airport terminal under permanent renovation, because both promise completion dates that exist only in theory

Supporting Evidence

Berlin has been under some form of major construction or reconstruction continuously since 1945, making it possibly the world's longest-running urban development project with no official completion date.
