Publisher's Synopsis
A photographic portrait of a single boulevard in Berlin, taken before the buildings' demolition
In 1952, East Berlin's municipal authorities commissioned Fritz Tiedemann to photograph a section of Fruchtstraße, where the buildings were set for demolition in the following decades. In this volume, German photographer Arwed Messmer (born 1964) assembles 32 archival images into a panoramic portrait of a bygone place.
