'Wannsee' is an 80m long – permanent – site-specific art commission curated by urKultur for Deutsche Bahn at Wannsee Station, Berlin. The artwork by Germany's leading illustrator Christoph Niemann represents his first major public work. The work presents well known and celebrated features of Wannsee - the lake, bathers, the Liebermann Villa, but also its darker side, the House of the Wannsee Conference. Die Zeit Magazine dedicated a 6 page feature to this commission, the link to which can be found below, together with selected articles, and a lovely short film by the artist.
