Group of riders in the Tiergarten, Berlin circa 1930

Riders in bowler hats, riding jackets and light-colored breeches guide their horses at a trot along a sandy bridle path beneath summer foliage. Berlin's Tiergarten had been the city's favored ground for fashionable riding since the nineteenth century, a pastime of the upper bourgeoisie and nobility. The carefree scene contrasts with the political and economic crisis gripping the Weimar Republic's final years. Within a few years, this form of urban leisure culture largely came to an end along with the Republic itself.
