Hotel Kempinski (today Hotel Bristol) Kurfürstendamm, Berlin 1952. Cars: Volkswagen Käfer (Beetle) 1949-1951
The modern, curved facade of the Hotel Kempinski, today the Hotel Bristol, dominates Berlin's Kurfürstendamm in 1952. Beneath prominent rooftop lettering, a striped awning shelters an outdoor café where patrons are seated. The wide boulevard is populated with vintage automobiles, most notably several Volkswagen Beetles from the 1949-1951 period. A man in a suit stands beside a dark convertible Beetle, while a stylishly dressed woman crosses the street. To the left, a sign for 'SALAMANDER' is visible on an adjacent building.
