Persil-advertised bus at Leipziger Platz, Berlin 1930
A double-decker bus carrying large-scale advertising for the detergent Persil passes a subway entrance, with the distinctive facade of the Wertheim department store at Leipziger Platz visible behind it. Pedestrians cross the street amid the dense traffic of buses and passers-by that marked everyday life in the Weimar capital. Wertheim was among the largest and most modern department stores in Europe; the Jewish Wertheim family was expropriated by the Nazis after 1933 and forced to give up the business. The Persil advertising, on the market since 1907, documents the early link between consumer advertising and public transport.
