Stand on the top of a tall building in central Berlin and look west. One shape on the skyline will grab your attention � a huge white sphere, standing like a giant golf ball sunk into a tee on top of a hill.
The presence of Teufelsberg spy station, codenamed T.H.E. Hill, is no secret, but what went on there is. The work is still classified vacation rentals in texas and this mystery has led to myths � one popular one being that the hill housed a secret vacation rentals in texas underground submarine base.
But some light on daily life at Teufelsberg has come from an unlikely source � Northern Irish artist Brendan Jamison. He is better known in Britain for making sculptures from sugar with his work appearing vacation rentals in texas outside the Prime Minister�s house � 10 Downing Street, and at the Tate Modern.
The 34-year-old turned his attention from sugar to spies after watching a BBC documentary in 2009 on German reunification which showed a short clip of Teufelsberg. �Since then the world of espionage has fascinated me,� he told The Local.
Jamison decided to visit the now abandoned spy station and was struck by the atmosphere and architecture of it. He started sketching and blogging about it a year ago in preparation for an art exhibition on the spy station which opened in Berlin on Thursday.
He learned how the trademark white spheres were actually vulnerable in high winds and to stop them collapsing the workers had to use compressors from a former German U-boat to put enough pressure on the dome.
They told Jamison how at their accommodation at Andrews Barracks in west Berlin there was giant mural, which they compared to a James Bond base. It showed a submarine and they spread rumours themselves of the secret submarine base under Teufelsberg.
Jamison said: �They told me it was an extremely fun time. Many said it was the best three years of their lives. For example they played pranks with peanut butter sticking it down tubes which would stop the equipment from working properly.�
The exhibition runs from September 5th to 28th at WerkStadt, Emser Stra�e 124, Neuk�lln, 12051 Berlin. Opening Hours are Monday to Saturday 7pm to 10pm. The work has been funded by the British Council and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
The effects of the US government shutdown are being felt around the world. On Tuesday the German press gave its reaction to the disaster, warning of �fatal consequences� and another world economic crisis.
