Mini Eiffel tower outside the Center Français de Berlin. A German-French cultural centre in Wedding-Berlin. The Center Francais de Berlin was founded in 1961 as the Center Culturel Français by the French Allied Administration to promote French culture and language in the former French sector (Wedding and Reinickendorf). It was used as a cultural centre of French forces until 1992. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 resulted in the withdrawal of the occupying forces and the centre was closed. The buildings were transferred to the German Federal Ministry of Finance and the governments of France and Germany decided to re-open the centre to promote "Franco-German friendship" and "the European idea of international understanding ". The building was rebuilt and reopened in 1994 as Center Français de Berlin. The Center Français de Berlin organises international exchange for young people and professionals, co-ordinates the individual student exchange program Voltaire, promotes job mobility for young people between the two countries and supervises the local cultural centre as a meeting place with cultural events It is located in the same building as the Hôtel de France and the French restaurant Gourmanderie
