Of course. Today it is Mollstraße /
Otto-Braun-Straße. The latter had a different
name then. It was the Hans-Beimler-Straße. If
you have more of these pictures please upload
them. I am very interested in that period.
Wonderful! What Film did you use? Orwo??? Hans Beimler was a German communist who died
near Madrid in 1936 during the Spanish Civil
War. After the war many streets, schools,
factories etcetera were named after him in
the GDR.
Oh, thanks for the info about Hans Beimler,
orwocolor. I think I used orwo once or twice.
for the most part back then i was using tri-x
, as I recall. this shot was clearly an
exception.
These photos make my head spin. In 1981
Vienna did not look so different than today.
In Berlin everything has changed
dramatically, the east as much as the west.
Its a different city.

Incredible. I grew up just 10 minutes from there. Although today there is new tram line and much more traffic.

Really ? Can you tell me what this intersection is ? I recall it's fairly close to Alexanderplatz, but I'm not sure anymore.

Thanks Amtsleiter. I remember wondering who Hans Beimler was...
I have a few from this era, I'll try and get them scanned.
