Illustration shows an old Berlin half-timbered house built on piles on the fishing bridge near the Mühlendamm directly above the water of the Spree. Around 1890, as part of the modernization and canalization of the Spree, these characteristic, medieval-looking stilt houses finally disappeared from the Berlin cityscape, Germany, illustration, reproduction from a model from the 19th century. Authentic, file restored for optimal use, exact date of original unknown, historical, nostalgically colored
