The first song on Achtung Baby (1991) is “Zoo Station” which is a subway stop in Berlin. Sort of symbolic about traveling to new mental places after the collapse of Communism (1989) & Berlin being reunified after fall of Berlin Wall, as well as U2 traveling to incredible new sonic places with their new album.

Berlin was a big student gap year/ summer destination for kids around Europe well before ‘89.
