Lonely Planet review for Bebelplatz

On this stark square books by Brecht, Mann, Marx and other ‘subversives’ went up in flames during the first big official Nazi book burning in 1933. Michael Ullmann’s underground installation, Empty Library, beneath a glass pane at the square’s centre, commemorates the event. The stately buildings framing Bebelplatz date back to the reign of Frederick the Great, who surveys his domain from horseback in Christian Rauch’s epic sculpture, Reiterdenkmal Friedrich des Grossen, nearby on Unter den Linden.
