Schloss Charlottenburg. Berlin 1952.

Schloss Charlottenburg in Berlin, photographed in 1952, reveals the extensive damage of war. The central dome of the classical-style palace is shattered and open to the sky, its facade pockmarked with dark, empty windows. Between massive, chipped stone pillars topped with dramatic bronze statues of warriors, an ornate iron gate stands open. In the courtyard beyond, an equestrian statue presides over pedestrians surveying the ruins, a powerful contrast between surviving grandeur and recent destruction.
