Road pavers and tram, Berlin 1930

Several workers kneel on a torn-up roadway laying paving stones as a Berlin tram bearing an advertisement for the hair tonic Trilysin passes directly behind them. In the foreground a horse-drawn cart hauls a load through the busy street. The scene captures everyday life in the late Weimar capital, where manual labor, public transit, and still-common horse carts coexisted side by side. Such street repairs were part of the constant renewal program of Berlin's growing metropolis.
