Photographing Berlin, Volume 1 – Architectural Treasures and Secret Places

Berlin is a city that is constantly re-inventing itself—a metropolis that fascinates and captivates. Berlin was all but destroyed during the Second World War, and its division into east and west sectors became a global symbol of the cold war. Now, following German reunification, Berlin is once again a trendy, creative, and iconic city that is full of traces of its eventful past. All this makes it a photographer’s paradise.

In this book, Andreas Böttger and Nancy Jesse show you around Berlin’s most photogenic locations. The tours they describe are arranged thematically and geographically, and provide precise locations as well as plenty of history, photo tips, and sample images to whet your appetite.

The subjects include modernist classics, milestones of brutalism, grand subway stations, imposing early industrial buildings, and a whole bunch of secret “lost places”.
