“Wir halten das Tempo” will be the motto of the band Rammstein in 2013. The band will perform at major European festivals & arenas, among them on April 28 in Belgrade’s Kombank Arena.

The German band’s spectacular live shows left speechless over a million people from Mexico, the U.S., South Africa, Australia, Canada and Europe. At the request of many fans, Rammstein will once again “set Belgrade on fire”.

After the first Rammstein performance in Belgrade Arena, the Serbian media wrote “Arena was on fire”, as they pulled out of the audience comments – Bring them back.

Rammstein’s live shows are famous for their pyrotechnic performance & theatrics, earning them awards from many countries. They are widely accepted as part of the “Neue Deutsche Härte” scene & they are the genre’s most successful band, achieving worldwide fame.

     Stories of Serbia’s turbulent history cannot be presented by a few visible remains. We have selected underground paths from the Roman, Austrian, Turkish and Serbian period to present to you. Underground Belgrade contains tens of caves and caverns, which people carved in limestone rocks, hundreds of underground tunnels built up in last 300 years by the Austrians, Serbs and Germans, countless buried wells, walled rivers, but, above all, structures that are remains of peoples who settled Belgrade.

     Roman Hall preserves tower of the main entrance gate of Roman fortress. In Roman hall at the presentation we will briefly show you some sites that are presently beneath the surface of today’s Belgrade, and have witnessed its turbulent history 7000 years long.

     Army bunker from the time of Cominform, time of Cold War after World War 2, and you will get to know some of the President Tito’s political games between great countries.

     At Big gunpowder warehouse you will have the chance to touch the walls of the cave which Austrians built as the part of the fortress which served as the defense of Christian Europe against Turkish Empire.

     We will pass through tunnel from Kosancic Square, beneath it and through artificial cave used as bunker and then to Karadjordjeva Street.

     Wine cellar in the cave from the time of the liberation of Serbia from Turkey in 19th century, where we will necessarily have wine branch.

Belgrade’s wider city area was the birthplace of the largest prehistoric culture of Europe, the Vinča culture, as early as the 6th millennium BC. In antiquity, the area of Belgrade was inhabited by a Thraco-Dacian tribe Singi, while after 279 BC a Celtic tribe inhabited the city, naming it “Singidun” (dun, fortress). It was awarded city rights by the Romans and was permanently settled by Slavs beginning in the 520s. As a strategic location, the city was battled over in 115 wars and razed to the ground 44 times  since the ancient period by countless armies of the East and West. In medieval times, it was in the possession of Byzantine, Frankish, Bulgarian, Hungarian and Serbian rulers. In 1521 Belgrade was conquered by the Ottomans and became the seat of the Pashaluk of Belgrade, as the principal city of Ottoman Europe and among the largest European cities. It frequently passed from Ottoman to Austrian rule which saw destruction of most of the city, the status as capital of Serbia would be regained only in 1841, after the Serbian revolution. Northern Belgrade, though, remained a Habsburg outpost until the breakup of Austria-Hungary in 1918. The city was the capital of Yugoslavia from 1918 to 2003.

Belgrade has its own autonomous government, and has a special administrative status in the territorial organization of Serbia. Its metropolitan territory is divided into 17 municipalities, each having its own local council. It covers 3.6% of Serbia’s territory, and 15% of the country’s population lives in the city. Belgrade is the financial center of Serbia.
