KDW gate


If you get up early enough, you can see the gate in front of the famed KDW department store. Once it opens its doors, the gate disappears. Too bad, because it's quite ornate. It's Friday - hope you have some nice plans for the weekend. We are hoping to move into our apartment before Christmas so I predict a "working" weekend, but at least there's a target in sight! And don't forget to visit Good Fences.

  2. This takes the whole idea of a fence/gate to another level.

  3. Yes, it is very ornate, and I am very interested in the figures in the midsection. I tried to max it to see them more clearly, but couldn't quite manage it.

  4. I couldn't begin to define this style.

    The name was not familiar so I looked it up - it's huge. I have no recollection of it from our two visits to Berlin.

    1. I am surprised. It's like the Harrod's of Berlin, almost everyone visits when they come.

  6. Great gate fence and I assume its halfway to its underground parking. Looks good.

    1. This is the main entrance to the store on Tauentzienstraße. I was around early one morning, so caught the gate before the store opened. The gate is hidden during operating hours, which is sort of sad because it's really pretty!
