I've replaced the picture of the facade taken in 2002. Although an excellent picture, the structure has been restored (again) since it was taken, and in its place there is now a photograph I took in 2005, showing the true colour of the brickwork, and also the Tempodrom concert venue in the distance. I've also added a photo of part of a platform that still remains.

[edit] Sculptor

In de:Anhalter Bahnhof, the Sculptor of "Nigth and Day" is Ludwig Brunow, here it is Emil Hundrieser. Which one is correct? de:Emil Hundrieser says that he created a statue of "Berolina" at Anhalter Bahnhof, but "Night and Day" are only mentioned at de:Ludwig Brunow.

Name changed to "Brunow" according to discussion for de:Anhalter Bahnhof. DrTomDE 10:02, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

In re-checking my information sources for the article I wrote on the Anhalter Bahnhof, I have found several references to works by Emil Hundrieser at the station ("The International Traffic" - what was that?) One of these sources (a British travel guide) specifically attributes the "Day and Night" sculptures to him. However, guide books can be wrong, and after looking at articles on Ludwig Brunow I have conceded that it was he who created these sculptures. In the Anhalter Bahnhof article I have added his dates, and changed the photo caption (which still gave Emil Hundrieser's name), also adding that in the recent restoration of the facade remnant the sculptures were replaced with copies. If you know what "International Traffic" refers to, please let me know.

[edit] Repositioned photo

I've moved the 1900 postcard view down to the former position of the deleted 1933 postcard. A better place for it.

[edit] Which admin block was bombed?

Although it is definitely the eastern admin block at the Goods Station that survives today, a photograph I have seen dated 1948 shows it severely damaged while its western twin is virtually unscathed. The article originally reflected this, saying it was "surprising" that the bombed block had been restored while the intact one had been demolished. However, I have now concluded that the photograph was in fact reversed, and I have reworded the article accordingly.
