Klaus Hartung

Berlin is a phoenix risen from the ashes of World War Two, a city reborn and reunited, a mecca for artists and intellectuals attracted by its beguiling culture. With an awe-inspiring gallery of images, Berlin captures this distinctive capital of art and architecture--its gardens, Brandenburg heritage, futuristic buildings, experimental spaces, and monuments. An introduction delves into the unique history of Germany's most complex metropolis.
