Traffic and neon signs on Kurfürstendamm, Berlin 1932

Heavy evening traffic fills the Kurfürstendamm as cars and a double-decker bus pass pedestrians strolling by shop windows and neon signs. The Café am Zoo, named after the nearby zoological garden, was one of Berlin's best-known meeting places for the bohemian and international crowd of the 'Golden Twenties'. The footage captures the Kurfürstendamm at the height of its fame as an entertainment boulevard, shortly before the political upheavals from 1933 changed the city's social life.
