Once you enter the capital city of Germany, Berlin, the bear will always be with you. He adorns the flag and is shown on all escutcheons and the city seal. You will also find him on postcards, souvenirs, as a stuffed toy and in many comic strips, as heraldic animal of the German Capital in the name of enterprises or on labels of goods produced in Berlin. Berlin has seen many changes since it was founded ( app. 1180, officially 1237) - but one thing remains intact- the Berliner Bear.
Here are pictures from some of these "Berliner bears" which you always could buy in a lot of souvenir-shops from Berlin
 

The teddy bear on the right was produced to a special event The Reichstag is the new capitol building of united Germany. The Bundestag, or government, of Germany holds its meetings here. On June 17, 1995 the famous artist Cristo wrapped the Reichstag, bringing focus to the building which had been ignored. Five million people visited to see the building put to peace. And therefore the famous bear manufacture Hermann produced the wrapped teddy bear. This bear is approx. 45cm tall and he was produced in a limited edition of only 100 teddy bears.
