A publicity photograph of Stalinallee taken from the roof garden of the 'Children's House' on Straussberger Platz, Berlin, 1956. The grand Communist styled boulevard was named in honor of the Soviet leader as a birthday gift in 1949. Built amidst the ruins of post war Frankfurter Allee, Stalinallee represented a return to the low key modernism of Weimar Germany and showed the world the new priorities of the East German regime.
