E09, B04.

At Hausvogteiplatz stands a sculpture called “Tanzende Berolina” (Dancing Berolina). Artist Axel Anklam created in 2004 the piece which now sits in front of Haus zur Berolina. Berolina is the female representation of the city of Berlin. The 21st-century version is faceless but modern, and seems suspended in mid-air even as her dress folds over in the breeze. Three separate versions of a Berolina statue once stood at various locations in the city before World War II, before disappearing (or possibly, melted down) along with the city’s wartime destruction.

I made all images above with an iPhone15 on 17 May 2025. This post composed within Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
