Berlin has survived two world wars, was divided by a wall during the
Cold War, and after the fall of the wall was reunited. The city emerged
as a center of European power and culture. From 1860 to the present day,
this book presents the story of Berlin in photographs, portraits, and
aerial views. More than a tribute to the city and its civic, social, and
photographic history, this book especially pays homage to Berlin’s
inhabitants: full of hope and strength, in their faces is reflected
Berlin’s undying soul.
