Elevated train through building at Dennewitzplatz, Berlin 1932
A train of the Berlin elevated railway threads through an apartment building at Dennewitzplatz in Schöneberg, while a horse-drawn cart crosses the street below. The unusual routing dates back to the construction of Berlin's first U-Bahn line around 1902, when engineers, short on space, ran the viaduct straight through an existing building. The adjoining Bülowstraße station became one of the best-known landmarks of Berlin's early elevated railway. The juxtaposition of a horse cart and modern rail technology captures the mix of old and new transport in Weimar-era Berlin.
