ICC - International Congress Center Berlin. Part II - Battlestar Galactica.

July 20th, 2010

The “Internationales Congress Centrum Berlin” (ICC Berlin) ranks among the biggest, most advanced and most successful congress venues in the world. It was built in just four years under the watchful eyes of architects Ralf Schüler and Ursulina Schüler-Witte. Since its opening in 1979 the highly versatile communication complex - 320 meters long, 80 meters wide and 40 meters high, - ICC Berlin is one of the most outstanding landmarks of postwar German architecture and the model for many new congress centers all over the world.

Among locals the ICC is also known as “Kampfstern Calactica”, referring to the famous Sci-fi TV-series by Glen A. Larson (Universal Pictures 1978 - 1980). Luckily recent news regarding the future of this building turned out positive - instead of demolition, it now faces an “upgrade” to meet today’s requirements.
