The world celebrates its birthday in the sky above Berlin

For its 60th anniversary on April 2, Die Welt will also be visible to Berliners as a viewing balloon: The tourist attraction will bear the title of the newspaper from March 31 this year. The world's largest tethered balloon has been undergoing technical preparations for its deployment since January, and the envelope and logo are nearing completion, reports Die Welt. The captive balloon will present itself to the eyes of Berliners as an oversized globe, corresponding to the logo of the world, which is emblazoned on the balloon's belly band. In future, the world's largest captive balloon will no longer rise from Potsdamer Platz, but will take to the skies not far from the Axel Springer building. The Welt is the only national newspaper based in Berlin, explained Josef Probst, Chairman of the Berlin newspaper group's publishing management. This is now to be prominently displayed in the cityscape.
