Re: Berlin Memorial cigarette case
When I lived in Berlin I used to go hang out at Treptower Park allot. It's one of my favorite Architectural spaces. I also have that Cigarette Case. Found it at a thrift store here in the USA of all places!!
It's a very powerful spot. What impressed me most was the mosaic mural inside the pedestal. The colors are amazing. It's like a Modernist Caravaggio painting - in tile!
Oh - does your case still have the original straps to hold in the cigarettes? Mine are missing.

Danke Ade!
Amazing isn't it? So 2005, had they finished the renovation of the park at that point? When I lived there in 2001 they had just started it but there were many delays.

Hi Mike, they were putting the finishing touches to it when we were there. The last of the paving slabs were being put back.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Berlin Memorial cigarette case
Damn! Took em long enough. I bet it only took the Soviets and DDR a couple years to build it. Is it true that they used the pink granite from Hitler's Chancellery?
