Most People in Germany don't like the Hackenkreuz. Also it is "verboten".

Maybe i can translate some of the grafitti. As a real Berliner I can read it.
One reads: "Allet vakackt" this is Berlin slang for Alles verkackt this means roughly every thing is shity, some kinda bad.

the other one reads: "Dit kotzt ma an ey" in real german "Das kotzt mich an (ey)" means someone feels like everything is vomiting on him. Not very nice. The colors grün und gelb are self explaining. The vertical one an the left side makes no sense "NIX MIT HRTL" Nix = Nichts = nothing, MIT=with, HRTL=??? If I'm right someone painted with great afford LOL the word "FOTZE" between the doors. That is really not nice because it's a bad word for the female genital or even a whole woman. "Zukunft" = future, "sein"=will be. Someone is thinking the future will be a nuclear age. Hope this helps a bit. Btw nice to see Pictures from my own City.

Too sad. You forgot to tell me, you come to Berlin in 2009. I was born and raised in Berlin. Now living in Hamburg. A trip to Berlin and do some exploring with you would be so nice. I like your Pictures very much.

When this treatment was used there were no medications to calm patients. Having been an ER nurse I can tell you that some seriously psychotic patients are very strong. It would take 6-7 of us to restrain them. So if a bath helped..... Now adays we have many potent medications. I have even given some through the jeans the patient was wearing because their agitation is so great. Police bring them in hogtied to an extracation board and ask for blood to be drawn. And of course none of us is stupid enough to unrestrain them. The handcuff formed a tourniquet when the patient pulled and I drew the blood out of the patient's hand. Not the most clinically correct, but we did what needed to be done. FYI I'll bet the large grouping of nurses around the tub that the Life magazine took were students. Notice the uniforms. Most nursing schools used uniforms with the large white aprons. The cap also has 2 stripes which may mean these students have finished the second year of their training and are seniors. Hospitals never have staffing like that. Trot out the students for the photo session so the Nurses could get the real work done.

When I was growing up there was an old amusement park named Myers Lake. It was a hot spot in the 20"s and later. They had a large building with a dance floor and a retractable roof. We went to open air dance band concerts on Sunday night. Never paid any attention to how the roof moved, now I wish I knew. Memories!

The trees growing on top of the tower really show up with this lighting.

I'm not sure who they were - they sounded like a team of people talking a fair amount (as opposed to people trashing stuff), so I assumed they were workers of some kind and did my best to avoid them.
