World Of White Trash - El mundo de la basura blanca

today we visit "teufelsberg" the one and only high montain in berlin, down there you can see a piece of berlin the view is great !!!Teufelsberg (German for Devil's Mountain) is a hill in Berlin, Germany, in former West Berlin. It rises about 80 meters above the surrounding Brandenburg plain, more precisely the north of Berlin's Grunewald forest.

It is an artificial hill with a curious history: it was built by the Allies after the Second World War from the rubble of Berlin during the following twenty years as Berlin was being rebuilt. The estimate for the amount of rubble is about 12 million cubic meters, or about 400 000 buildings.

That as such does not make Teufelsberg curious, there are many similar man-made rubble mounds in Germany and other war-torn cities of Europe. The curiousness begins with what is buried underneath the hill: a Nazi military-technical college designed by Albert Speer. The Allies tried to demolish the school by explosives but it turned out to be so sturdy that covering it with debris turned out to be easier.
In the 1960s a small skiing center was built on the slopes of the hill.
