About this motif
For many West Berliners the ruined tower was a symbol of their city's survival. When there were plans to demolish it after the war, citizens successfully campaigned for its preservation.
Mincu's etching (KVCF-B-139) shows the ruined tower with its patina in portrait format, the Europa-Center with its star on the left and buses and cars on the square below. Image about 8 x 11 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
