Kurfürstendamm and Memorial Church at night, Berlin 1932

Cars roll along the busy Kurfürstendamm in western Berlin at dusk, while the towers of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and the radio tower rise against the night sky in the background. Consecrated in 1895, the Memorial Church was a landmark of Charlottenburg; after being destroyed in the Second World War, its ruined tower was preserved as a memorial. The radio tower, completed in 1926, symbolized the rise of broadcasting technology during the Weimar years. The footage was shot in 1932, shortly before the end of the Republic.
