Palast der Republik, Summer 1977

Newer Older

In full bloom, a year after its opening. For the background of this series you find comments here. - I have two pictures of the same subject, I decided to upload this almost humanless version first, the second is here.

It is interesting that these enormous columns holding reflectors on public places were usual equipments over East-Europe. The Hungarian equivalents had been erected the same way: on the centre of the car parking section of once Engels (now Erzsébet again) Square, Budapest.

    Positively nostalgic set!
    It has taken me from now to the 1983 of my childhood when 'Volkskammersgebäude' - 'Palast der Republik' was 10 years since it was built.
    It bids fair that I'd been having a walk with my dad along the 'Marx-Engels-Platz' one day in the summer of that year...
    Pleasant memories! Thank you

    Ez történelem....igen szép volt annak idején ez az épület....nekem volt szerencsém látni, akkor sajna nem volt fényképező gépem. Köszönöm, hogy vissza hoztad a "tegnap"-ot....(mintha tegnap lett volna).

    When I see this it makes me think that building was quite interesting after all.
