Fish market and street traffic, Berlin 1932

A market woman wraps fish in newspaper at her stall while a customer with a handbag waits beside her, and cyclists and pedestrians press through the narrow market street around them. Just in front, cart horses feed from a street trough as a motorcycle and a car pass close by, illustrating the everyday coexistence of horse-drawn and motorized transport in Berlin at the end of the Weimar Republic. Such open-air markets supplied the population with fresh goods and remained central to city life even as department stores and self-service shops emerged. The footage captures this dense, noisy routine shortly before the political upheavals of 1933.
