Standing beer hall at Alexanderplatz, Berlin c. 1930

Several men raise their beer glasses in a toast at a standing table, while the backlit shop window reveals the Wertheim department store and a tram on Alexanderplatz. In the Weimar Republic, Alexanderplatz was one of Berlin's busiest transport hubs and the setting of Alfred Döblin's novel Berlin Alexanderplatz. Snack bars and standing beer halls like this one were part of everyday life for Berlin's working class, who stopped for a beer before or after their shift.
