Topography of Terror documents one of Berlin's most significant sites of remembrance, located on the former grounds of the Gestapo, the SS, and the Reich Security Main Office.
Historian Andreas Nachama reflects on the history of the site and the development of the Topography of Terror Foundation, which he directed from 1994 to 2019.
The volume is complemented by photographs by Friederike von Rauch, made shortly before the site's completion in 2010. Rather than documenting the architecture alone, the photographs explore the relationship between space, light, materiality, and historical memory. They reveal the quiet atmosphere of a place where contemporary architecture and one of the darkest chapters of German history intersect.
NEUES PALAIS

Texts by Rudolf Prinz zur Lippe and Samuel Wittwer
Neues Palais documents the New Palace at Sanssouci during a pivotal moment in its history, when an extensive restoration marked the transition from decades of institutional use to its renewed presentation as a museum.
Commissioned to approach the palace from an artistic rather than documentary perspective, Friederike von Rauch photographed the building throughout this period of transformation. Through repeated visits, she explores its architecture, atmosphere, and spatial sequences, revealing subtle relationships and details often overlooked in everyday perception.
Essays by Samuel Wittwer and Rudolf Prinz zur Lippe place the photographs within the historical and architectural context of the palace, creating a dialogue between visual observation and historical reflection.

Dom Hans van der Laan – A House for the Mind introduces the design methodology of the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect Dom Hans van der Laan through his architecture for Roosenberg Abbey in Waasmunster, Belgium.
Original drawings, explanatory diagrams, and previously unpublished letters by the architect are brought together with photographs by Friederike von Rauch to explore Van der Laan's ideas of proportion, materiality, light, and spatial perception. The publication offers a comprehensive reading of Roosenberg Abbey, one of the most significant realizations of his architectural thinking.

Text by Matthias Harder
In Secret brings together photographs from several bodies of work made between 2009 and 2013. Working with an analogue camera and using only natural light, Friederike von Rauch explores architecture and interior spaces through light, shadow, materiality, and spatial structure.
Rather than documenting specific places, the photographs focus on details, surfaces, and traces of human presence. Windows, walls, staircases, and architectural fragments are transformed into autonomous compositions that invite close observation and open interpretation.

"It is not about scars, but about remembrance and history. It is like a painting: if it is left unfinished and you complete it, then you no longer have the original."
— David Chipperfield
Neues Museum documents the final stage of the restoration of Berlin's Neues Museum, led by British architect David Chipperfield. The project transformed the war-damaged building into a contemporary museum while preserving the traces of its history.
Photographed with an analogue camera, Friederike von Rauch's images explore the dialogue between historical substance and contemporary intervention. Through light, materiality, and spatial composition, they reveal the architectural language of a building in which conservation and contemporary intervention exist in careful balance.

Sites brings together photographs made in Berlin, Brussels, and Rotterdam between 2006 and 2007. Developed during an artist residency at deBuren, the project explores the architecture and urban fabric of the three cities through a consistent photographic approach.
Working with an analogue camera and predominantly natural light, Friederike von Rauch focuses on architecture, spatial relationships, and material surfaces. Rather than documenting the cities themselves, the photographs reveal familiar places from unexpected perspectives, balancing documentary observation with subtle abstraction.
