What was this building in the past? — From Tacheles to Fotografiska

Fotografiska Berlin is located in the former Kunsthaus Tacheles on Oranienburger Straße—one of Berlin’s most famous cultural venues. Originally built in 1908 as the Friedrichstraßenpassage, the building became a symbol of Berlin’s free art scene after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The original, preserved facades and artfully preserved graffiti in the stairwell combine architectural elegance with the raw charm of the former artists’ house, making a visit here an architectural experience as well.
