BERLIN, GERMANY - OCTOBER 27: Visitors walk across a painted map of Berlin in 1:775 scale during celebrations marking the 775th anniversary of the city of Berlin on October 27, 2012 in Berlin, Germany. Celebrations are continuing over the weekend and will culminate in a fire presentation by the French fire performers Carabosse on Sunday. 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.
