Machine operators at a steam turbine, Berlin power plant circa 1930
Two machine operators stand at the controls of a massive steam turbine, its cylinders and pipework filling almost the entire frame. The plant was one of Berlin's major power stations that supplied electricity to the rapidly growing metropolis during the 1920s and early 1930s. Such facilities embodied the industrial confidence of the Weimar Republic and formed the backbone of modern urban life, powering the subway, street lighting and factories. The calm, disciplined work of the technicians contrasts with the bustle of the streets shown elsewhere in the same film.
