The seemingly innocent copse of Robinia, a patch of waste landscape colonised by nature right in the heart of Berlin, has born the brunt of history and been neglected by it in turn. Between 1933 and 1945, it was the heart of the Third Reich and home to the headquarters of the Gestapo and SS. After the war, the area was erradicated and gradually turned into a piece of abandoned wasteland, and from 1961 the Berlin Wall ran along the northern edge of the then levelled terrain. In 1987, the site was landscaped and opened to the public.

With his book Topographie, Berlin based photographer Andreas Gehrke signifies the atrocities that were directed from this very place nearly eighty years ago.
