One of a tiny batch of about five buses and only to be found working on suburban routes around the district of Zehlendorf was this short MAN. It was caught leaving the large local two-hundred bus garage which was ringed with flats for the staff so apart from this view it was hard to look inside. Built in 1937 it was badly bombed in the war but this entrance arch and the concrete plaque survived the destruction. Made famous for his role in Fawlty Towers, Andrew Sachs who played Manuel came from here before his family fled Germany because they were Jewish.
Hi Christopher,
ReplyDeleteI tried to reach you via e-mail but did not yet hear back from you (or the mail was blocked by spam filters...)
I am working for Stadtwerke Münster, which operates the bus routes in the town of Münster (like BVG does in Berlin). For a post on our corporate blog, I am searching for a picture of the former Zehlendorf garage in Berlin. I found this one and ask your permission to use that photo on our blog, of course with attribution and a link to your website.
I would be happy to hear from you.
Best regards
Florian, f.adler@stadtwerke-muenster.de
