The picture shows a central fountain installation on Karl-Marx-Allee in Berlin, an urban landmark of the former GDR. Geometrically arranged water basins with active fountains can be seen in the foreground, creating a dynamic and structured composition. The fountains are surrounded by a paved square that is used as a public space. In the background are two symmetrically arranged residential buildings in the style of socialist classicism, with light-coloured facades and a regular window structure.
The architecture dates from the post-war period and is characterised by monumental design elements that reflect the political and cultural history of East Berlin. The clear blue sky and uniform lighting emphasise the contours of the buildings and the movement of the water. The composition is orientated frontally and shows a clear division between public space, architecture and urban infrastructure.
This image is suitable for themes such as urban architecture, post-war modernism, public space, fountains, Berlin, GDR history, tourism, symmetry, urbanity and monument preservation. It can be used in digital media, exhibitions or as a decorative element in living and working spaces. The combination of water, architecture and urban context makes the motif versatile.
