Barges on the Spree in front of Berlin Cathedral, c. 1930

A steam tug tows barges along the Spree near the Rathausbrücke, passing the Neuer Marstall and the dome of Berlin Cathedral. The river was central to the city's inner freight traffic, carrying coal, building materials and goods across Berlin. Completed in 1905 as a representative Hohenzollern church, the cathedral still defines the skyline of the Spree island today.
