Berlin Medieval Ruins at Rotes Rathaus

While digging for a new subway line in the middle of Berlin, construction workers came across ruins from the city of Berlin dating back to around 1200 or 1300.  They discovered the ruins you see below in the pictures but also pieces of dish ware and bottles.  They also came across items from the 1920s and 30s when the Nazi were first coming into power.  The Nazis dumped pieces of pop culture in order to rid Germany of inferior culture and so that the Nazis could develop their own identity.  
 Fountain outside gates of ruins.  Had to take a picture!
 Rotes Rathaus or Red Town Hall. These ruins are literally steps from the town hall.
