A multifaceted portrayal that also contains nostalgic charms is the present historical picture book. The images depict familiar and past scenes, including buildings, squares, and streets that no longer exist in many cases. A sense of nostalgia easily arises when viewing the old images. However, nostalgia alone is not the aim. Who doesn't remember the corner shops with loose milk sales or the window displays in the department store for the occasion of October 7th? The book offers a unique insight into the everyday life of people in Prenzlauer Berg. It evokes memories of school days, leisure activities, public and private celebrations, as well as the often challenging working life from the early 20th century to the 1960s. The author, Martin Strecker, aims to spark curiosity and invites readers to explore.
