Berlin has always been fashionable, edgy, artistic and in search of a role for itself. Sliced in two by communism and then re-united when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, it is now re-inventing itself as one of Europe's leading hi-tech hubs. Cheap property plus a young, talented workforce are attracting entrepreneurs from all over Europe and even the US.
