Alexanderplatz with S-Bahn and Rotes Rathaus, Berlin 1930
At Alexanderplatz, one of Berlin's busiest intersections, an S-Bahn train crosses the viaduct while the tower of the Rotes Rathaus rises in the background. Pedestrians cross the cobblestone street as a double-decker bus joins the dense traffic. Alexanderplatz stood as a symbol of the pulsating metropolis during the Weimar Republic and was repeatedly described in contemporary travelogues and films as the epitome of urban modernity. Only a few years later, new buildings such as the Alexanderhaus and Berolinahaus fundamentally changed the square's appearance.
