HFF Alexanderplatz East Berlin Germany 18th August 1972

After a recent visit to Germany I thought I would post this shot of Alexanderplatz in what was East Berlin in 1972.

My railway interest was at a low ebb & I couldn't be bothered to walk over to the station to get a decent shot of the Pacifics still steam-hauling trains in the eastern zone.

The Fernsehturm is on the extreme right & the tower in the distance is the Rathaus making the train an arrival at Berlin Alexanderplatz station (to the right behind the high rise).

HFF & have a great weekend.

Hi Pete
A wonderful and interesting picture!
Apart from a few cars, it doesn't look much different today!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

I love this pic. Went to East Berlin a lot as I had relatives there. Alexanderplkatz was the place to change from S-Bahn to U-Bahn.
