For the series Stadtrand Berlin - published here for the first time on the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Wall - the city photographer André Kirchner (*1958) photographed from March 1993 to March 1994 along the historic city boundary of the now reunited capital. The geographic starting point was the former border control point Drewitz. Moving counter-clockwise, within a year he advanced to the Glienicke Bridge near Potsdam. As his perspective Kirchner chose the view from the surrounding countryside towards the city. In 60 individual shots a picture emerged of the periphery of the greater city as it had been defined in 1920, whose 234 km length nearly matches today's extent.
