Berlin, February 23rd 1959, 11.23 p.m.: P. Hermann is entering the empty entrance hall of the Anhalter Station which is released for demolition. The longer he stays in the building the stronger become his memories and visions, and the more he is merging with the building until, finally, he experiences for the last time the uplifting emotion of arrival at the motherly cave of railways (Walter Benjamin).
