Horse cab and filling station near Berlin City Palace, 1930

Near the Berlin City Palace, a horse-cab driver in a top hat and frock coat sits on the box of his carriage taking a break while his horse waits. A few meters away, an attendant in overalls fills a car with a Berlin license plate at a covered filling station bearing the AURO emblem. The juxtaposition of horse-drawn carriage and motor car illustrates the transition of Berlin's transportation around 1930, when traditional cabs still shared the streets with modern automobiles. The proximity to the City Palace, former seat of the Hohenzollern dynasty, situates the scene in the historic center of the capital.
