Berlin - A Secret Atlas is a richly illustrated coffee table book exploring the city's hidden places, overlooked histories and unexpected curiosities. Step beyond the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag Building and the traces of the Berlin Wall into a curated atlas of Berlin's lesser-known places and surprising stories. This is a treasure trove for those who love to explore beyond the obvious and uncover the city's lesser-seen layers of history, architecture and urban curiosity. Guaranteed to delight and inspire, here you can:Discover a forgotten remnant of the Berlin Wall, still quietly marking the city's divided pastEncounter a hidden sand dune within the city, an unexpected pocket of wilderness in urban BerlinStep inside an Expressionist church with a remarkable interior of colour, form and light rarely seen by visitorsSee a vast concrete testing structure used for soil experiments, an extraordinary relic of Cold War engineering ambitionStroll a residential street that closes at night to protect local beavers, where urban life and wildlife unexpectedly intersectBerlin is renowned for its landmarks and turbulent history. But if you are drawn to hidden Berlin and off-the-beaten-path discoveries, Berlin Secret Atlas reveals a more unexpected side of the city - where Cold War echoes, architectural experimentation and everyday life intersect in surprising ways. Written by local experts and brought to life with sumptuous illustrations, this handsome hardback is as visually striking as it is informative. It forms part of the acclaimed Secret Atlas series, known for its curated discoveries and distinctive visual identity. A captivating keepsake for travellers, armchair explorers and lovers of German history, architecture and urban curiosities alike-a book designed to be both read and displayed.
