The buildings constructed in East Germany after the Second World
War are often dismissed as drab, Soviet-style, prefabricated blocks
of cement. But the architecture of the German Democratic Republic
was created with an eye toward modernity and efficiency, and
heralded the birth of a new country and a new economic and social
system. Hans Engels has traveled throughout East Germany to
photograph iconic modernist buildings that survived demolition.
From movie theaters, high-rises, and restaurants to museums,
convention centers, and transit stations, these buildings have all
stood the test of time. While the philosophy that drove their
design may be outdated, their retro appeal is stronger than ever.
