| Another photo from the 1960s with another Ikarus bus. The neon sign above the tracks, Neues Deutschland was for the official state newspaper. The Buchhandlung (bookshop) hopefully catered for railway enthusiasts! |

Named after Friedrich der Grosse (Frederick the Great in English) best known for his palaces at Potsdam, the pre-WW2 pictures of the street are totally historic--only four buildings in the street survived WW2. Today it has all been rebuilt.
The railway station during DDR days was an entry and exit point to and from the west, but only for westerners--the station had armed guards to prevent any easterner escape attempts.
