The soaring, rigid walls of the tenement blocks torn open by the bombing of World War II dominated the German streetscapes of the 1950s. Fire walls, originally integrated in the building and serving as fire shields, suddenly became visible and turned into outer walls. That is how the originally rather technical term got a new meaning: Firewalls as walls spared by the fire. Those long brick walls often adjoin to vast vacant lots once taken up by buildings that were never reerected after the war. Windows—sometimes bricked up again—cover the walls without any rational order, bearing witness to the troublesome moments of Germany’s history, just like smut, traces of bullets, shrapnel holes, the outlines of previous buildings, and provisional repairs. The remarkable housing boom following the fall of East Germany whitewashed most of the scars and overgrew the occasional graffiti and advertisements originally decorating those walls. A look behind them reveals—like a negative form of the same cast—the imprint of the building’s story.

Built in 1897/98, the Kornversuchsspeicher or Grain Test Silo was created as a conceptually ambitious experimental prototype for the grain storage required to supply the over one million inhabitants of Berlin. After being used by a string of haulage companies, it was left vacant. However, the protected monument has been turned into an attraction in the Europacity development area opposite Berlin’s central station in 2023. Its spectacular renovation by AFF architects, which received the Architekturpreis Beton award, turned the industrial structure into a mixed-use building hosting offices, a gallery, and a restaurant.Berlin-based photographer Harf Zimmermann, co-founder of the internationally renowned OSTKREUZ agency, documented the renovation project over the course of five years with his analogue large-format camera. Some of the striking photographs of different construction stages lend the process the appearance of an archaeological dig, while others give the impression of a completely new construction project. The photo essay is complemented by an extensively researched and generously illustrated article on the building’s history by Hans Georg Hiller von Gaertringen. Presents an exceptional long-term photographic documentation project by the renowned architectural photographer Harf Zimmermann Effectively contextualized study of the award-winning renovation project, (“Architekturpreis Beton” and “Deut- sche Architekturpreis 2023”) Features valuable archival material on the building’s history, as well as blueprints for its renovation
