Description

After World War II, the entire S-Bahn Berlin belonged to the East German Reichsbahn, and whoever entered its railroad stations in the western sectors of Berlin was confronted with the socialst reality of the other side. As the city settled into its Cold War division after the Wall was erected and West Berliners generally boycotted the system, buildings and tracks fell into decay and disrepair. Photographer Renate Mangoldt visited many S-Bahn stations in West Berlin in 1981, photographing them as a document of their condition, the times and atmosphere.
