  Einstein Exhibit -- Formative Years IV
In 1914, the German government gave Einstein a senior research appointment in Berlin, along with a membership in the prestigious Prussian Academy of Sciences.
When Einstein had left his native land as a youth, he had renounced German citizenship and all of the militarist German society.
But Berlin -- with no teaching duties and a galaxy of top scientists for colleagues -- could not be resisted.

  History of Berlin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although it was the residence of the Prussian kings, Berlin's population did not greatly expand until the 19th century, mainly after becoming the capital of the German Empire in 1871.
East Germany chose Berlin (in practice, East Berlin) as its capital when the country was formed from the Soviet occupation zone in October 1949; however, this was rejected by the western allies, who continued to regard Berlin as an occupied city that was not legally part of any German state.
West Berlin was especially popular with young German left-wing radicals, as young men living in West Berlin were exempted from the obligatory military service required in West Germany proper: the Kreuzberg district became especially well-known for its high concentration of young radicals.

His appointment as salaried member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences placed him at the focus of the scientific community of his time-a major change from his professorship at the ETH in more peripheral Zurich.
This new appointment also had major consequences for his personal life: during the Berlin years Einstein became more and more of a public figure, whose opinion on nonscientific issues was sought with increasing frequency.
The first Berlin years saw the conclusion of a task that had occupied much of Einstein's time and energy since his return from Prague to Zurich in the late summer of 1912: the work on a theory of gravitation.

 Riccardo Chailly Interview - page 5
Potentially, Berlin is the capital of culture in Europe because of its strategic geographical location, because of what Berlin was before the tragedy of the war; that is, the number of concert halls, theatres, opera houses, museums offered an extraordinary possibility of artistic expression.
Berlin has that as well as the realistic vision to make it the major capital for culture.
Before the wall disappeared, Berlin was the warmest and most humanly present public in Europe, in the West as well as the East.

 Frobenius biography
Details of this appointment are given in [Die Mathematik und ihre Dozenten an der Berliner Universität 1810-1920 (Berlin, 1973).',3)" onmouseover="window.status='Click to see reference';return true">3] but we should say that it must ultimately have been made possible due to strong support from Weierstrass who was extremely influential and considered Frobenius one of his most gifted students.
That he could not prevent this, that he could not reach his goal of maintaining unchanged the times of Weierstrass, Kummer and Kronecker also in their external appearances, but to witness helplessly these developments, was doubly intolerable for him, with his choleric disposition.
This was a time when there was competition between mathematians in the University of Berlin and in the University of Göttingen, but it was a competition that Göttingen won, for there mathematics flourished under Klein, much to Frobenius's annoyance.

He can pretend that his calculations were more accurate, that his caution was justified and that his objection to war against Iraq without international authorization was not just teasing.
The tripartite appointment in Berlin today could have been different if things in Iraq went according to the desires of Bush and the hawks that came from the 9/11 rubble to launch the preemptive strikes and change the world with swift and hot surgeries.
These are rehearsals to make the determined appointments in New York between Bush and each of the French president and the German chancellor a success.

This week's column in UTW is about Mayor Kathy Taylor's first batch of appointments to city authorities, boards, and commissions (ABCs), particularly the appointment of Jim Beach to the Board of Adjustment, a move that has drawn opposition from neighborhood leaders and may provoke the end of Taylor's honeymoon.
Taylor's appointment of Steve Berlin, a Great Plains Airlines board member, to the TARE board is also controversial.
Yesterday, long after I filed the story, I got word that the Taylor administration had pulled Beach's appointment off of this Thursday's Council agenda, and in fact it is missing from the online agenda, while the other appointments are still present.

He was also honoured as Officier des Arts et Lettres by the French Minister of Culture in November 1995 and awarded the Toepfer Foundation of Hamburg's 1996 Shakespeare Prize for his outstanding contribution to European arts.
His appointment to Berlin is also an honour for Rattle - but at the same time a sign that the venerable orchestra is ready for fresh thinking and new approaches from the adventurous conductor.
There are always sensitive political considerations involved in taking over an orchestra - but Rattle's successful campaign to improve the salaries at the Berlin Philharmonic before even picking up the baton is likely to stand him in good stead.
