Christiane F

Alex and I went to have a look at the Gropiusstadt housing estates. Famous to me as Christiane F's former home and named for the founder of the Bauhaus school, these buildings are an example of the Communist architecture style as it exists in the West. Built like a fortress, we were met first with the parking lot entrance and went around to the back to find the enclosed living area. Dinner was celebrated at B47, the Kneipe in the shadow of the Gropiusstadt. I had a massive schnitzel, while Alex finished off a streudel.
