Berlin-Karl-Marx-Alley

My love of Karl Marx Alley in Berlin is rather ironic. The great ideologies are all broken by open international disputes: Communism, Catholicism, Capitalism = all criticized by criticasters… below: 5 photos by frizztext + youtube video + link to the German news magazine DIE ZEIT

  1. You can’t believe but I tried to read the article with help of Google translate. It should be ironic… especially when I read her, the memories, the stories, and also the living city with all of them… Can you imagine the future… as you said the great ideologies are all broken…. On the other hand there is an old thought “history repeats itself”…. maybe everything starts from the beginning again… wo knows… Thanks and Love, nia

  3. The architecture of Berlin is interesting, especially when you think about what Berlin was just after the war. In France, there’s only one example of that, in Le Havre : http://flickr.com/gp/iceman755/3nE9gC
    Communism, Capitalism or religions had nothing to do here with architecture. It was designed by Auguste Perret, a french – belgian, https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auguste_Perret#Le_Havre_.281945-1954.29 But, maybe he read “Karl Marx”, as his father escaped from France after “The Commune ” https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commune_de_Paris_%281871%29
