Jürgen Hübner-Kosney Bücher

In 1999, the second edition of a picture collection was released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Berlin Wall's fall, featuring over 300 comparative photographs (168 pages, 22x22 cm). This volume meticulously documents the transformation of Berlin, particularly its eastern districts, a decade after the Wall's collapse. It contrasts life and the cityscape of the former DDR with the present-day capital, often capturing the same locations. The visual journey spans from central Berlin to areas like Prenzlauer Berg, the newly developed neighborhoods of Marzahn and Hellersdorf, historical Köpenick, and iconic sites such as Alexanderplatz and Unter den Linden, culminating at the Brandenburg Gate. The photographs evoke nostalgia while illustrating how the past informs the present. The collection appeals to both Berliners and visitors, enhanced by concise explanatory texts. Due to popular demand, this edition includes an English translation, making it accessible to a global audience interested in Berlin's rich history and rapid transformation.
