Red brick and historic photos: Industrial buildings through the ages

Join us on a photographic walk. You’ll explore a historic industrial site on Eichborndamm, which is now home to the Berlin State Archives.

Using historical photos from the archive’s collection, you’ll explore together how the area has changed over the past 120 years.

You’ll photograph selected historic scenes from the same perspective to make a direct before-and-after comparison. The State Archives’ urban photographers will offer tips on urban and architectural photography.

  • Please bring a camera or a smartphone.

The tour is part of the Berlin Industrial Culture Festival.

Additional information

The Berlin Industrial Culture Festival offers you the chance to discover the city from a new perspective. Around 100 events from September 12 to October 4 bring the visible and invisible legacy of industrialization to life.
