Traffic policeman in front of the Rotes Rathaus, Berlin 1932
A policeman in dark uniform and a shako-style helmet stands in the street giving a traffic signal with a raised hand, while the tower of the Rotes Rathaus with its distinctive clock rises behind him. During the Weimar Republic, uniformed police officers still regulated the growing automobile traffic mostly by hand signals, as traffic lights were only gradually being introduced in Berlin. The Rotes Rathaus, seat of the Berlin city government since 1869, forms the monumental red-brick backdrop to the scene, underscoring the official character of this central location in the capital.
