A devastating portrait of lost youth, Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo is the true story of Christiane F., a teenage girl in 1970s Berlin whose descent into addiction and prostitution became a haunting reflection of a generation in crisis. Told with unflinching honesty, the book exposes the raw, often unbearable reality of adolescence derailed by heroin, alienation, and survival on the margins.
Originally published in 1979 as a journalistic account, this first press edition remains one of Germany’s most important literary testimonies read in schools, adapted into film and TV, and still resonating today. Beyond its cultural impact, Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo endures as a human document of fragility, resistance, and the desperate search for meaning in a fractured world.
Essential reading for collectors of countercultural literature, true stories of addiction, and 20th century youth narratives.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
The Story
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
