Just a short train ride from the booming city of Berlin lies a vast, quiet landscape with a storied past—the Döberitz Heide. What was once one of Germany’s most prestigious military training grounds is now a massive nature park. But if you look closely, leftovers of its dramatic history still peek through the forest foliage. For urban explorers, history buffs, and nature lovers alike, the Döberitz Heide bunkers and their surroundings offer a fascinating glimpse into an almost forgotten era.

My love affair with the thermal paper camera began with a simple YouTube video. The idea of a camera that prints lo-fi, black-and-white photos on the spot—for the ridiculously low price of thermal paper—was too appealing to ignore.

Early in 2025, a call for submissions caught my eye in the Bürgerstiftung Neukölln newsletter. As a local community organization, they were seeking photographs that captured the past, present, and future of Neukölln. Having called this bustling district home since moving to Berlin in 2012, I've produced countless images of the area, even curating a Flickr album dedicated to my favorites. What initially appeared to be a simple request for calendar images quickly became something far more significant.

On the border of Mitte and Wedding lies Brunnenviertel, a neighborhood renowned for its inviting green spaces and tranquil, pedestrian-friendly courtyards. As dusk settles, a soft, romantic glow emanates from the area's distinctive spherical streetlamps. But there's a clever twist to that. Look closely, and you'll discover that many of these lamps are wearing hats. These are the Nightcaps, a brilliant public art installation that is both functional and fantastical.

The haunting marks left on these church walls make it feel like the fighting occurred mere days ago. On April 24th, 1945, a fierce battle unfolded here as the Soviet 7th Corps clashed with a diverse force comprising elements of the Wehrmacht, SS, Volkssturm, and Hitler Youth units. The intensity of the combat is evident in the ravaged walls, where most damage can be attributed to small arms fire.

What makes the Sternfahrt Berlin truly unique is the rare opportunity to cycle on roads normally reserved exclusively for cars. For one incredible day, major arterial roads, as well as sections of the A100 city motorway and the A115, are closed to motorized traffic. This allows cyclists to experience Berlin from an entirely new perspective, gliding along wide, open asphalt that is usually humming with high-speed vehicles. The feeling is more than liberating, a glimpse into what a more cycle-friendly urban future could feel like. Something that I see happening in Paris and that still missing in the political sphere in Berlin.

The Split Jewish Cemetery is more than just a collection of graves; it's a chronicle of a resilient community. Photographing it with LomoChrome '92, a film that celebrates the charm of imperfect and bygone eras, felt like an appropriate if the unconventional, way to engage with its enduring spirit. It was a reminder that beauty and memory can be found not just in perfect clarity but also in the evocative haze of nostalgia.

Often starkly referred to as the Berlin Nazi Church, this building provides a unique and unsettling glimpse into the intertwining of faith and fascism during the Third Reich.

Berlin's Tempelhof Feld is unlike any other. This vast expanse, once a bustling airport central to the city's history, now serves as a massive public park—a unique blend of historical remnants and wide-open recreational space. In the summer of 2023, I joined a photo walk organized by the great folks at Safelight Berlin, armed with my trusty Canon F-1 and a very special roll of film: a heavily expired AGFA HDC 100.

Berlin is a city rich in history, with its vibrant present often built on the remnants of a complex and, at times, troubling past. While iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag attract millions of visitors, there are quieter sites that hold equally profound stories. One such site is the memorial dedicated to the former Columbia-Haus, situated on Columbiadamm near the expansive grounds of the former Tempelhof Airport.
