This analogue, architectural photograph on Bernauer Strasse in the Berlin district was taken with the Pentacon Six medium format camera.
The abstraction in black and white tones gives the motif a timeless, elegant, clear and graphic image character with an enchanting atmosphere.
The Chapel of Reconciliation is a church on Bernauer Strasse in Berlin's Mitte district, built on the foundations of the Church of Reconciliation in earthen construction until the year 2000. It is part of the Berlin Wall Memorial.
The construction of the Berlin Wall also divided the Reconciliation Church. From 1961, the Church of Reconciliation, built in 1894, was no longer accessible to the congregation in the western part of the city because it stood on the "death strip" between the inner and outer walls. In 1985, the GDR government finally ordered the church to be blown up in order to have a clear view of the border strip. After the reunification of Germany, the parish received the property back in 1995 with the condition that it be used for sacred purposes. The Chapel of Reconciliation was inaugurated on 9 November 2000. It is part of the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Strasse. The parish hall, built in 1965 to replace the inaccessible church, houses the associated documentation centre.
