Although it's no longer open to the public, the famed Cafe Moskau still stands on Karl Marx Allée. It was one of the top spots in the DDR, though not everyone could afford the high prices. The architectural design is somewhat dated, but I still like it somehow. For more signs, take a look at Signs, Signs.
It certainly seems to evoke a retro look in its architecture.
ReplyDeleteYep, Sputnik is looking just a LITTLE passé. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the retro look of it!
ReplyDeleteWho needed money in the DDR? It was all about rank and connections, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteI like the design. It is emblematic of it's era.
Restaurants like these were more for "visitors", but if you lived in the DDR and had the means, you could go there too.
DeleteIt does have a nice appeal!
ReplyDeleteThe black and white suits this remnant of the past.
ReplyDeleteThis one has the feel of BC's from the Big Lou. B/w and a retro look to it.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you I rather like it too...
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that it stayed this way.
ReplyDeleteIt has a very mid-century look to it.
ReplyDeleteTrès belle photo de cet ancien café de Berlin Est à l'architecture minimaliste. Magnifique!
ReplyDeleteI like the look. It took me a moment to find the sputnik!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing design. Very arty. And it looks grand in black and white.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where my pics of it are! But I still prefer Kranzler!
ReplyDeleteThe building architecture looks like 1950s modern. Historic sign.
ReplyDeletereally neat shot!
ReplyDeleteInteresting signage.

ReplyDeleteI think the B&W is perfect for this retro-looking architecture.
ReplyDeletePrestige building to impress visitors from the West and East and for people with money.
