Palast im Wedding, Nixdorf
Berlin, 2025


























Basisklasse Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie The “Palast im Wedding” describes the similarity of the Nixdorf buildung, earlier used as factory for computer chips, and the “Palast der Republik”, the former prestige buildung of the GDR.

They not only share the same characterisics of the golden fassade, they also share the fate of being deconstructed and destroyed. 

After the usage as a chip factory the Nixdorf buildung became a headquarter for Banks and was used as an office space on 130 000 square meters. 
Now it is in the process of being destroyed to become a new modern business district.

This work focues on sheer documentation on the current state of the Nixdorf building.
