The interior ceremonial hall of Krematorium Baumschulenweg Berlin can be photographed during any month of the year. The building is open every day of the year, excluding public holidays.

In my opinion, I think the best time to visit the building would be during morning, midday or late afternoon because the place closes at night. The earlier you get there, the more chances you'll have to photograph every corner of the building.

Please respect the place and its rules. Before taking a photo, you'll need to inform the building personnel that you're going to be taking pictures. Additionally, tripods are not allowed inside the krematorium, so only bring your camera.

I recommend using a wide-angle lens (14mm) to capture this hall. With a wide-angle lens, you'll be able to incorporate the white walls, which will help you to frame your photo and create a balanced image.

Make use of the leading lines by positioning yourself in the center of the two sections of benches.

Try playing with the light coming through the ceiling. Wait a while in the room and see how the different times of the day can produce different moods.

I used a model in my photo. I think it's best to add a human element to your shot to evoke a sense of scale. It's also important to have him/her wear something dark to create a nice contrast from the building's white interior.

Walk around the area and stop in one of the many cafes or restaurants nearby, like Café Behring.

Check out Königsheide, which is a large ecological park with protected spawning area for pond frog, newt and toads.
