Photography: Palast der Republik

Photo by Thorsten Klapsch

Spiegel Online: Thorsten Klapsch: "Palast der Republik"

"The Palast der Republik was a showpiece building in East Berlin, a congress hall as well as a center for public entertainment. By 1993 it had been sealed off to the public. Thorsten Klapsch was the last photographer to capture its interiors before a long period of demolition began."

Music Video: Das Mauer Power

"Das Mauer Power (recorded 1989 by IFA Wartburg) is a song that explains how powerful a concrete wall can be. For many years, this video was impossible to broadcast due to migration problems from the DDR picture system RiesenAlpha2000 to modern video formats. Now, Das Mauer Power has been converted to SuperBeta. The video will be broadcasted worldwide during the "20 jahre Deutsche Demokratische Republik ohne Mauer"-Jubiläum the 9th of november 2009." - IFA Wartburg
