Quiller Memorandum, The

Agent Kenneth Lindsay Jones (Herbert Stass) walks the streets of Berlin at the start of the film. Christoph Gogg identifies this as Thomas-Dehler-Straße/Lichtensteinallee, Berlin, Germany. The building was the Spanish Embassy and closed in 1966, moving to Bonn. The building after closure can be seen at https://timelineimages.sueddeutsche.de/T/00226452_t_120488.jpg At the time of filming it was empty. However, following the fall of the Berlin Wall it once again is home to the Spanish Embassy. Some parts of the house were re-built and now form part of the Hotel The Stue (located in Thomas Dehler Straße) its main entrance remaining as it did in 1966. (RL)
