About the artwork

This black and white photograph shows the popular and famous Eberswalder Strasse stop of the U2 underground line in the Berlin district of Pankow. This right window detail and view of the TV tower and the church creates an exciting curiosity to get to know the big city metropolis and its centre at Alexanderplatz.
Eberswalder Straße underground station is an elevated station on the U2 underground line in the Prenzlauer Berg district of Berlin's Pankow district. It is located on Schönhauser Allee just past the intersection of Eberswalder/Danziger Straße and Kastanien-/Pappelallee. The station, opened by the Hochbahngesellschaft under the name Danziger Straße on 27 July 1913, was called Dimitroffstraße from 1950 to 1990.
The station is located on the central reservation of Schönhauser Allee and has a central platform with two exits. Of the 110-metre-long platform, the southern half is covered with a hall, and later the northern end was also covered with a single-support roof structure. The hall was built in riveted steel construction and is green in colour. The Nordring station (today: Schönhauser Allee), the second station on the elevated line, has an almost identical structure.
The monochrome conversion to black and white lends the image motif an elegant, timeless pictorial character and thus fits in perfectly with living and working spaces in terms of colour.
