Teufelsberg is a place brimming with history, contrasts, and hidden beauty—a location that reveals new sides of itself depending on one’s perspective. This uniqueness invites exploration from every angle, encouraging fresh discoveries again and again.
Together with tipBerlin, we are launching this photography competition to capture the diversity and creativity that each individual finds in this remarkable place. With the theme “Traces of Time,” we invite participants to view Teufelsberg from an alternative perspective, using black-and-white photography to capture nuances beyond the obvious.
We look forward to seeing Teufelsberg through your eyes and experiencing your interpretation of its magic.
After the submission period ends, a three-member jury will select the 15 most striking images. These will be displayed on Teufelsberg in January 2025 as part of an exhibition—an homage to the many facets of this special place and the unique perspectives of our visitors. Join us for an exclusive opening event for the exhibition, in collaboration with Teufelsberg and tipBerlin, where all winners will be honored as special guests.
All winners will also be presented virtually on our website. We also offer them the opportunity to present their contributions on our Instagram account @teufelsberg.official – but this is completely optional. The first five places will also receive an exclusive annual pass for 2025, granting them access to Teufelsberg all year long.
Take this opportunity to share your unique perspective! We look forward to seeing your interpretation of the “Traces of Time” on Teufelsberg.
