Interior of a grand gallery, Gestapo HQ at Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse 11, Berlin, late-1930s.  The place has the slightly dowdy, paint-peely appearance of other education-to-bureaucracy conversions I have seen over the years ... Best regards, JR.

Gestapo HQ interior.

The former premises of the School of Industrial Arts and Crafts at Prinz-Albrect-Strasse 11, Berlin, in 1933, at which time it had served also as a sort of arts and crafts enterprise centre and a civil service office.  Not a particular occasion for the abandonment of Hope.  However, it was soon to become Headquarters of the Gestapo ... a different matter, altogether ... Best regards, JR.

Abandon Hope all ye who enter here ...
