BERLIN, GERMANY - OCTOBER 28: Visitors watch as an animated frame shaped like a flower covered in flowerpots full of flames opens and closes in front of the Fernsehturm (Television Tower) during a presentation by the French fire performers Carabosse as part of celebrations marking the 775th anniversary of the city of Berlin on October 28, 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The settlement of Coelln, which stood opposite Berlin on the Spree river, is first referred to in a document from 1237, and by the beginning of the 14th century Coelln and Berlin joined together to become the region's most important trading center.
