Volksbad lido in front of the Volksbühne theatre. The Volksbühne, built during the early 1950s in the massive style characteristic of Communist architecture, is built of grey stone. Its bow front has 6 stone columns almost full height, and between them are 5 huge doors and above those 5 are narrow tall windows almost the full height of the columns. In front of the building, the lido is a brilliant blue, with ripples reflecting the sunlight. People are standing and talking on the pooledge, some fully dressed and some in swimming costumes, and we can see one person in the water at the right-hand edge of the photo.
