former Reich Air Ministry
Goring’s building famously survived the war almost without being hit by bombs or shells. Now Finance Ministry.
What was Prinz Albrecht Strasse on the left.
Location used in the film Valkyrie
Architectural document of the passed era.
Prinz Albrecht Strasse was the headquarters of the Gestapo.
Indeed. A dark place. The site has for over 20 years now been the home of an exhibition called the Topography of Terror.
Very Fitting.
I assume it only survived demolition due to the need for government buildings when much of Berlin had been comprehensively flattened.

That’s no-nonsense architecture.
Nice shot.
