Augenzeugnisse—with Maurice Weiss: "After reunification, deep foundation pits were dug out across Berlin. These massive holes were at Friedrichstadtpassage and at Potsdamer Platz, to give just two examples. Berliners became impassioned architecture critics. Everyone knew all about architects such as Sir Norman Foster, Axel Schulte, and Richard Rogers as well as their buildings around the world. But where did the armies of construction workers come from? As a student, I worked on construction sites for years and was more interested in the background of the construction workers than the big architecture stars. They came from across Europe, mostly from Poland, Ireland, and Portugal. None of them spoke German. With my 5 × 5-inch plate camera I took photos in the manner of August Sander. One of the construction workers was from a village in northern Portugal. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten his name. He was responsible for insulation and ironwork at the massive Friedrichstadtpassage site. I asked him if he knew what he and his colleagues were actually building there. ‘It must be a church,’ he thought. ‘Such a big building can only be a place of worship."

Augenzeugnisse—with Jordis Antonia Schlösser: "In the summer of 1997, when seniors still went dancing at Pratercafé every Saturday and the cranes against the skyline at Potsdamer Platz promised thrilling transformation, I was new to Berlin and not yet settled in. I wandered the streets as often as I could, feeling a little lost and full of yearning. I discovered vacant lots, open spaces, voids. Monumental fire walls that seemed almost alive. The gaze of an older couple looking through a window onto a transformed world. A boy on a bus rising into the sky. A couple cuddling beneath an enormous painted raven. A horse at Potsdamer Platz. The empty city seemed full of possibilities. You could sense the stories in the old walls and empty spaces were there to be filled. But the time for dreams was soon over: briefcases were already stuffed with investors’ plans. I once encountered them on an empty lot at Chausseestrasse. Berlin’s empty spaces had to be filled in quickly, the ground staked out and divided, and the new capital completed. And so my wanderings more and more often ended in front of concrete walls."

Augenzeugnisse—with Werner Mahler: "The evening of November 9, 1989. | The Berlin Wall has fallen, that symbol of division and exclusion. | It’s unbelievable. I have to be there, have to take photos. | My wife and son and I drive from Brandenburg to the border crossing at Bornholmer Strasse, which is rumored to be open. | Countless cars and people are teeming at the still-closed border. Only pedestrians can cross the border, so I head off on foot to take photos. I make plans to meet my family around midnight at Café Kranzler. I walk through the entire city, from the bridge at Bornholmer Strasse to the crossing at Heinrich-Heine-Strasse, reaching Kurfürstendamm at mid-night. Naturally we can’t find each other amid the celebrating masses. | I keep walking to the Brandenburg Gate. | All the major Western news agencies have set up their cameras and broadcast vans on the Western side of the wall. At Brandenburg Gate the wall is quite wide, and euphoric people from East and West are dancing on it, lit by the glare of headlights. Like many, I jump over to the Eastern side. It’s an absurd feeling: one day before, the wall had been a no-go zone and approaching it would have spelled imprisonment or even death. | I look east at the Brandenburg Gate in darkness. | A happy-looking man with his arms spread walks toward me. | I shoot. | The Eastern side is in darkness. | Small groups of seemingly helpless GDR border soldiers are standing with flowers in their gun barrels. | It’s very early on the morning of November 10, 1989. | A one-in-a-century day. | I want to get home and am one of the first to walk from the West to the East through the Brandenburg Gate."

During the autumn holidays, and the recreational team from the DRK-Zentrum collaborated on an inspiring pilot project at the Ukrainian Arrival Center Tegel (UA-TXL) as part of C/O Berlin’s "Education Perspectives" series. The project offered two special holiday workshops for children and teens, giving them the chance to express their creativity through "Your Story as an Animation" and a Photo-Portrait Workshop. Integrated into the UA-TXL’s autumn holiday program, these workshops created a supportive environment for young participants to tell their own stories through photography, fostering self-expression and creative growth. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making these workshops a memorable experience!

Augenzeugnisse — Frieda & Lily von Wild (Sibylle Bergemanns daughter and granddaughter):
"Berlin in 1996 was different from the city we’re living in now. This used to be a part of the border zone along the Berlin Wall. The stairs in the background, built by Gustav Lange in 1994, are already covered with graffiti and the park is a place to relax and come together. Little Lily isn’t the only one wearing a mask. The place itself seems to have put on a mask over its own history thanks to the new construction. Sibylle loved these paper masks, where the mouth is the only clue to one’s identity. Otherwise, you were wholly transformed into another person, or maybe a mouse. She always had at least one of these masks in her car. You never know. We were used to Sibylle photographing us. Sometimes it was just as a placeholder when she was looking for fashion shoot locations or places to take portraits. If you happened to be there, she often said, ‘Stand there’ and ‘Don’t move.’ Sometimes it remained a sketch, and sometimes a seemingly fleeting moment became a moment of full concentration. And you could see that this might become a special photograph. In this case, it’s both a memory and a beautiful photo."

Save the date! On Sep 13, , in collaboration with the , presents "Träum weiter — Berlin, die 90er" featuring works by nine OSTKREUZ photographers who document the turbulent period following the fall of the Berlin Wall: Sibylle Bergemann, Harald Hauswald, Ute Mahler and Werner Mahler, Annette Hauschild, Thomas Meyer, Jordis Antonia Schlösser, Anne Schönharting, and Maurice Weiss.

Berlin in the 90s was a city in flux, caught between its past and future. Amid a spirit of optimism and uncertainty, subcultures thrived and debates about the new German capital’s development raged. The exhibition captures this transformation through over 200 works, documenting the fall of the Wall, the emerging techno scene, and significant social and economic changes. These images reflect the OSTKREUZ photographers’ unique perspectives on the complex relationship between individuals and urban space, and continue to shape our understanding of Berlin today.
