On the Grid : BÜCHER BOGEN

"For more than three decades Bücher Bogen has seen many changes to Savigny Platz. The shop’s grand arches and wide windows make it a true icon and pairs gritty Berlin with a classic European park vibe. It opened in 1980 by the visionary Ruthild Spangenberg, a passionate book lover and wife of an inspiring architect. It's no question that the two had a vision with the space as it (and the books) encompass all things art, architecture and design. Today, Ruthild and her daughter run the shop, sharing their passion for books both new and out of print. Grab a book and enjoy reading it in the park right out front." - Meryl Vedros
