Tacheles

September 11, 2019 #Berlin

On the news that the former art space Tacheles is being turned into a photo museum, I looked up the history of the building, formerly named “Friedrichstraßenpassage”. As per usual, I fell in love with the kinds of buildings Berlin used to have, most of which didn’t survive the war or the GDR regime’s propensity for tearing down history sites they didn’t have the money to build back up.
