Walter Womacka on Alexanderplatz 7 July 2009 One of the things I love about sharing my photographs and pictures here is that it forces me to do a bit of research into things I blindly love.
For years I have been admiring these incredible friezes on the buildings surrounded Alexanderplatz but only now have I discovered Walter Womacka.
How I did not know the name of the pre-eminent DDR artist is anyone's guess but now that I do you can be sure I will become obsessed.
The good news is that Walter Womacka is still very much alive and has a website. |

This copper frieze is on the Haus des Reisens and was installed in 1971. It's called "Mensch und Raum" (Man and Space). |

The mosaic "Unser Luben" (Our Life) is 125 metres wide and wraps around the Haus des Lehrers. It was installed in 1964 and renovated in 2003. |
