Kurfürstendamm, Gedächtniskirche. Right: Marmorhaus am Kudamm. Berlin 1952. Car: Volkswagen Käfer (Beetle) Standard 1950; Ford Taunus "Buckeltaunus" 1951
On Berlin's Kurfürstendamm in 1952, the heavily damaged ruins of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church serve as a backdrop to daily life. Its main tower stands as a jagged, hollow shell and its nave is roofless. In the foreground, a 1951 Ford Taunus 'Buckeltaunus' is parked near other cars, including several Volkswagen Beetles. To the right, pedestrians walk past more intact buildings with shopfronts, among them the Marmorhaus.
