Berliner Dom and TV Tower - Berlin Skyline Photography

Sale price$45.00
Material:
Size:

The baroque dome of the Berliner Dom and the slim shaft of the Fernsehturm share a single panel of clear blue sky. The cathedral, completed in 1905 in a heavy Renaissance-Baroque style, was the dynastic church of the Hohenzollern monarchs. Behind it rises the television tower the GDR built between 1965 and 1969 — at 368 metres still the tallest structure in Germany, raised as a deliberate symbol of socialist modernity. Two regimes, two architectures, framed together in one composition. The photograph lets the contrast speak for itself: stone dome against steel needle, imperial Berlin and divided Berlin compressed into a single view.
