A butcher in work clothes pushes a cart of pig carcasses hanging head-down through the halls of Berlin's slaughterhouse. Opened in 1881, the Zentralviehhof in Friedrichshain was among the largest livestock and meat markets in Europe, supplying the city of millions with fresh meat every day. Work was largely done by hand, and refrigerated transport chains as later used were still rare. Such footage of everyday labor complemented the street scenes of newsreels with the supply side of the metropolis.
