If you’re searching for the perfect place to get you in the mood for Christmas, look no further than Berlin! With beautifully decorated streets and open squares in festive colors and lights, Christmas markets, mulled wine and an assortment of mouth watering festive dishes, Berlin transforms itself into a Christmas wonderland! If you are spending your first Christmas in Berlin, here are a few things we suggest you experience firsthand!

Each quarter, GameDuell donates 2,500 Euros to charity organizations locally or internationally. Team members are encouraged to offer suggestions on charities they feel very passionately about or are personally involved with. All of our quarterly charitable donations so far this year, have been to children’s educational projects.

Berlin is a city rich in culture and history – sometimes dramatic, sometimes happy. The relationship between history and the creative pulse of the city makes it unique for visitors and residents alike. 2014 was a milestone year in that history. Among the major historical events celebrated, the most important was the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Ever since the founding of GameDuell back in 2003, a cornerstone of our business model has been a commitment to our fans, team members and community. As we grew to become one of the largest online gaming communities in the world, that commitment has never wavered but only grown larger and stronger.

Berliner Dom (Cathedral) with Television Tower to the right

As night falls earlier and earlier in autumn and plunges the city into darkness, Berlin is transformed into a wonderland of colorful “light art” for the annual Festival of Lights Berlin from October 10 - 19. For 10 days each October, famous historic city landmarks, monuments, buildings and places are illuminated with artistic light installations. Converting the city into what feels like a gigantic exhibition space, international and local artists present their ideas, stories and messages into artful displays using 3D art, projections, video art or illuminations.

October 3 is celebrated as Germany's Day of National Unity or Tag der Deutschen Einheit. Today marks the 24th anniversary of the official reunification between the German Democratic Republic (popularly known as East Germany) and the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) as a single and united country.
