The Concrete Jungle Changed Jobs

Forget the lazy idea that East Berlin is one giant block of 'communist concrete'. This 7-stop walk asks a better question: what job was each place built to do, and what happened when Berlin changed the brief? A statistics headquarters becomes a cooperative public project. A state premiere cinema keeps showing films. A restaurant performs international friendship. A rose garden remembers revolt. Monumental towers double as homes. Railway workshops become contested cultural terrain. And a bridge designed to connect the city spends decades helping divide it.
