Berlin

Photographs documenting transit infrastructure and urban architecture across Berlin, Germany. The work focuses on major railway stations including Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Friedrichstraße, and Wedding, along with the U-Bahn and S-Bahn networks that form the backbone of the city’s transportation system. Many of these locations reflect Berlin’s layered development—from early twentieth-century construction through postwar rebuilding and late-century modernization. Stations such as Alexanderplatz and Seestraße illustrate shifts in design, ranging from functionalist structures to contemporary glass-and-steel expansions following German reunification. These sites serve both as critical infrastructure and as markers of the city’s political and urban transformation after 1990. Together, they document how transit networks shaped Berlin’s growth as a major European capital, connecting local movement with the broader continental rail system.
