A bear and his shield


This week I'm taking you on a tour of the Märkisches Museum. You may remember I showed you Big Roland who stands guard outside the museum awhile back. After walking by this museum so many times, I finally visited last June on the free day. It was surprisingly interesting and would definitely be a good choice for families with older kids. It mainly showcases the history of the city of Berlin. And of course, Berlin wouldn't be complete without its bear! This guy even has his own shield, though I'm don't believe I've seen that crest before.
PS: Sorry for the long absence. I got back from Israel last week, but wasn't feeling well enough to sit in front of the computer. I think things are getting better, hope you haven't missed your daily dose of Berlin too much!

    Not sure if you heard that Birdman passed away a week ago - it is so sad.

  12. That bear looks desperate! The eagle on the should might symbolise the " Brandenburger Adler" . They co-existed from the 13th century until the 19th century. Did you know that there is a day of the bear in March every year in Berlin?
    Hope that you are feeling better now?
