Berlin
Currently Documenting
Germany
Berlin's urban forest includes ancient trees that have witnessed the city's turbulent history, from royal gardens to post-war reconstruction. Scattered across parks, avenues, and hidden courtyards, these trees form a living archive of resilience. Some took root when Prussian kings still ruled, while others grew amidst the rubble of bombed streets, silently observing the city’s rebirth into a modern metropolis.
