I took the Underground at to the Olympic Stadium today.  It was about a 30 minute ride from East Berlin.

Berlin Olympiastadion

The current Olympiastadion was originally built for the 1936 Summer Olympics in the southern part of the Reichssportfeld (today Olympiapark Berlin). During World War II, the area suffered little damage.

Amazingly this "self shot" came out pretty well!

The site was renovated in the early 2000's for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.  On January 9, 2002, construction workers found an unexploded World War II bomb buried beneath a section of seating. It was defused outside the stadium by Berlin police!

Looking towards the sky on a hot summer day!
