Özet:

Since the Ottoman Empire and Germany were allied with the First World War, the mutual travel of soldiers, bureaucrats and writers between the two countries increased. Two of these trips; Mehmet Akif and Cenap Şahabettin, who convey their impressions about Berlin, come up with poetry and the other with prose-like works. In the “Memories of Berlin” and Avrupa’dan Mektuplar, poets trying to give the reasons for the rapid progress of Germany in every field since the 19th century, especially Berlin's social life, on the other hand, poets also show this city as a role model to other European countries and the Ottoman Empire. Moving from here; The main purpose of this study is to reveal the common or different emphases in the impressions of Berlin in two works, the prominent points in Ottoman and German comparisons and the determination of poets towards Istanbul and Berlin. Thus, in what measures the Ottoman should take the West as an example, the poets will be put forward together with the evaluations of the poets and the study will focus on these points.
