Rathaus Charlottenburg, Berlinerstrasse 72-73. Berlin 1952.
In 1952, the monumental facade of the Rathaus Charlottenburg in Berlin bears the scars of war. The ornate, historicist building is marked by blown-out windows and chipped masonry around its grand, rounded archway. Above the entrance, a curved stone balcony is flanked by two large statues. The intricate metalwork of the doors and decorative carvings stand in stark contrast to the visible destruction. On the steps and sidewalk, several figures in mid-century attire are seen near a pile of rubble.
