Northern Germany around 1913 - but could be anywhere in Europe. Poverty, religion, guilt, evil, dependence, injustice.... were common social ingredients. A very good film by Michael Haneke đ
The border between East and West Berlin here at Friedrichstrasse. Checkpoint Charlie is just a few meters south. On the upper side of the photo are the two entrances to the U-Bahn (Stadtmitte), and the crossing with Leipziger Strasse. Due to the cars in the photo....probably early 1960s (?).
