5 km wall was build covering 1,330 hectares that had 80,000 inhabitants. The area remained so for the next over hundred years. By 1740, Berlin was taking a new shape under the great Friedrich's direction. Massive construction started and went on for long undisrupted. In 1763, Friedrich II buys the porcelain industry that was earlier owned by Johann Ernst since 1761. On the other hand, it wasn't until 1764 when a German language auditorium was established at Behrenstrasse and this saw a new beginning for theatre as earlier plays were performed in foreign languages like the French (Schulte-Peevers 253). By 1770, the earlier established path linking City palace and Tiergarten in 1647 was enlarged becoming a significant avenue. By 1791, the Brandenburg gate whose construction had begun three years earlier becomes opened officially. In 1805, the cattle market that was close to the city wall got a new name, Alexanderplatz following Alexander I visit to Berlin that year. In 1810 the currently known Humboldt University opened, then the ever first university in Berlin (Reader 160).
With continual expansion of the city, Berlin economic growth was thriving and thus majority become attracted to the city in 1824. This continued until 1848 when social conflicts and organized political decisions by the authorities led to the rapture of a middle-class revolution but this ended in 1848 irrespective of the preceding successes. However, by 1871, Berlin population had reached 826,815 in the city alone with another 105,169 in its outskirts (Berlin in Brief, "History-Berlin.de").
Berlin, the majestic/imperial city
It was in 1871 when Berlin became the capital city of German Reich and this promoted courage in political, industrialization and the existing economic prosperity led to establishment of many different businesses within Berlin and this elevated the city to the supreme dominion as far as politics, economy and research was concerned. The population had grown to over a million by 1877. This number brought tensions in authority and a law was introduced to manage government enemies. Development was at its best when the ever first electric railway was established in Berlin in 1879. Then by 1890, workers movement celebrated their first recognition on the May 1st. The continuing influx of traders and business opportunities fueled the increasing population and it had reached the 1.9 million mark by the start of the twentieth century and the number reached 2.5 million when those in the 23 suburbs were included (Masur 132).
During the 1911 and 1912 period, Berlin united with Charlottenburg, Schoneberg, Wilmersdorf, Linchtenberg, Spandau, and Niiederbaenim as well as Teltow districts forming the Greater Berlin (Dorpalen 99). By this time, population had reached well over 2.5 million only within the city. In 1918, Berlin experienced a revolution on the 9th of November as the then Chancellor Prince von Baden declared his denouncement of Kaiser Wilhelm II, surrendering leadership to Friedrich Ebert. Phillipp Scheidermann then declared publicly that German was a free republic where else Karl Liebknecht announced the socialist free republic of Germany (Berlin in Brief, "History-Berlin.de").
Berlin survival during the its National socialist period
Berlin's survival during the National Socialist period began when Adolf Hitler got to power and this saw termination of democratic Germany and Berlin in 1933. In Berlin, interior Prussian minister and Prime Minister Hermann Goring helped in the election of a lord mayor and he, Goring became the leader of Berlin by the 14th of March 1933.
