When Berlin was divided it was a very crowded very old city that had a meandering wall (not in a straight line) that seems like it was designed by an insane person. The whole thing as we know was insane and not desirable to repeat. On either side of the wall was a huge no mans land so when the wall came down in 1989 it left a huge swath of open space with very crowded space still evident. Empty space was also created during the world wars, especially the almost complete destruction of Berlin through bombing at the end of WWII. Empty space is also something one feels, someone is missing along with something.
