Miniature Berlin LOXX – In A Berlin Minute (Week 138)

Based on the idea and design of Stefan Göddeke, Berlin LOXX is the 3rd largest model train set in the world (760 square meters) and first opened in 2004 in Charlottenburg and then moved to its current location atop the Alexa shopping center (next to Alexanderplatz) in 2007.

As so often the 1-minute version of this video doesn’t really do justice to all that could be seen. And in this case I actually accidentally at first edited a 2-minute version (I’ve got a head cold). So there’ll be a longer Moving Postcard soon.

For now please enjoy the mini versions of Reichstag, Brandenburger Tor, Sowjetisches Mahnmal, Siegessaeule (Goldelse), Bahnhof Zoo, Tiergarten, Alexanderplatz, Alexa, Neptunbrunnen, Park Inn, Fernsehturm, Die Mauer (The Wall), a Turkish family in the park, abandoned buildings, metal artists, street art, a concert, dinosaurs, cops and lots and lots of trains. The only thing I didn’t capture well was a tram. Also Mauerpark Fleamarket and Karaoke are missing from Loxx altogether.

The song “Lollipop” was written and produced by Jason Matherne. Find him on Soundcloud.

On a side note, the night I first met him, David of the andberlin blog suggested I should do an In A Berlin Minute video about Berlin LOXX. He in turn had found out about the place through a post by James and Zoe on their uberlin blog. Thanks for the tip, British Berlin bloggers!
