Berliner Stadtreinigung. Berlin 1952.

In Berlin, 1952, a sanitation vehicle of the Berliner Stadtreinigung is pulled by two powerful draft horses along a cobblestone street with tram tracks. The unusual hybrid combines a traditional wagon with a heavy-duty, rubber-tired chassis. Pedestrians walk past ground-floor shops—a dry cleaner, a grocer, a guesthouse—set beneath the ornate facades of multi-story buildings with bay windows and balconies. Strong sunlight casts sharp shadows across the bustling urban scene.
