I was going to post this earlier, an abandoned pub on Kollwitzstraße, when I checked and found it’s actually a popular music venue!

The headquarters of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany was abandoned after the last Russians left in 1994.
AB managed to explore the huge sprawling site in Karlshorst in 2009 and 2010 before it was consumed by apartments.

The Stasi Hotel – MfS-Ferienheim Buchheide, codenamed FH150 – was to have 180 bedrooms, a swimming pool, sauna, bar, and bowling alley. It was all for Stasi officers and their families. But then the Berlin Wall came tumbling down...

It’s free! FREE!!

It's 47 years to the day since the Bierpinsel in Steglitz was opened. It got its name because of all the free beer that was dished out that day, much of it on unfortunate passers-by below...

Tempelhof is back in the news because local politicians, undeterred by a referendum, are again pushing plans to build on the site.
It survived the Soviet Blockade to become the city’s biggest park. Berliners will fight to keep it.

A few years ago, I figured Christmas Day's a safe day to sneak into the Olympic Village as nobody works Christmas Day. I was wrong. Security was probably even angrier than usual, and chased me in a car through the snow. There's a lesson there somewhere.

East Germany was established on this day 72 years ago.
Spreepark got a new Ferris wheel for its 40th birthday in 1989.
Now the country's gone, Spreepark is gone, and the Ferris wheel is gone, too. (They say it'll come back, but who knows.) 🎡

Wünsdorf, "die verbotene Stadt" (Forbidden City), aka Little Moscow, with trains to the real Moscow going every day.
It was previously home to the Nazis' underground bunker headquarters sending commands to German forces during WWII.

Abandoned Ausländeramt. Berlin, du bist so wunderbar.
The Berlin immigration office shut down its information centre. There is no one left to answer people's questions. Emails and fax numbers were scrubbed from their website. I tried to bring it up to their Ombudsmann but he's gone too. I don't know where to get answers anymore.

The destruction of Palast der Republik was an unforgivable act of vandalism driven by spite. We should still be able to sample its delights.
#DDR
#PalastDerRepublik
"Its delights included a theatre, bowling alley, speedy lifts, 68 toilets, its own post-office, 15 coin-operated phones, a Telex, and its own PdR stamps."
As the Humbdolt Forum opens today, here's our profile of the GDR's very own Palast der Republik.

It’s 60 years since the Berlin Wall first divided the city. It was just soldiers with guns on Aug. 13, 1961 before the brickwork began. Some of those bricks still survive, ignored by tourists in a quiet corner of Pankow.

A history of Berlin through its crazy transit maps. Fascinating article by
@johnkpeck
for
@slowberlin
.
"Max Roberts approaches maps not only as a designer, but also as a psychologist. He has several interesting takes on Berlin’s transit system, rendering it as both a London-style octolinear rainbow and a curved-armed sunburst."

More “lost” photos I just rediscovered from 2015, this time from Heilstätten Hohenlychen.
They’re converting it now into apartments and homes, but they’ll never wash away the history of that place.
