Passengers boarding a double-decker bus, Berlin 1930

Men and women in winter coats and hats climb the steps of a Berlin double-decker bus while more passengers wait on the sidewalk. Such omnibuses complemented the tram and subway network of the Weimar Republic and shaped Berlin's streetscape alongside automobiles and pedestrians. The brief everyday scene stands for the growing mobility of Berlin's population in the early 1930s, shortly before the Great Depression increasingly overshadowed city life.
