Berlin: Fragments d’une histoire allemande is a monumental photographic record of Berlin, captured by Raymond Depardon over the course of fifty years. Starting with the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, which Depardon documented at just 19 years old, the book traces the city’s complex history through the fall of the Wall in 1989 to its modern reconstruction. The 300 photographs featured blend major historical events—such as visits from Robert Kennedy and Queen Elizabeth II—with personal, everyday observations of Berliners on both sides of the border. The chronological chapters are introduced by Depardon’s own sober texts and concluded with a map of the city showing the original path of the Wall.
