Myth Ostkreuz

In 2017, numerous railroad anniversaries will be celebrated between Berlin-Ostbahnhof and Berlin-Ostkreuz: 175 years of Ostbahnhof, 150 years of Ostbahn and RAW Warschauer Straße, and 135 years of Ostkreuz. Parallel to the gradual complete reopening of Berlin-Ostkreuz station after more than a decade of reconstruction, a comprehensive illustrated book is published. The book shows many different historical pictures and maps of the Ostkreuz railroad junction and the associated neighboring stations and railroads, which have not been published before. The work documents the railroad history and urban development in this part of eastern Berlin by means of pictures, aerial photographs, plans and maps, as well as introductory texts and explanatory captions. For documentation purposes, for example, aerial photographs from 1928 to 2016 of the entire area have been compiled, as well as a G.
