Elevated train above street traffic in Kreuzberg, Berlin 1932

A train of Berlin's elevated railway crosses a busy street in the Kreuzberg district on a steel viaduct, while cars and pedestrians below capture the everyday bustle of the German capital. In operation since 1902, the elevated line connected the eastern working-class districts with the city centre and left a lasting mark on the streetscape of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. Such shots of traffic and architecture were a staple of newsreels documenting the vibrant Berlin of the late Weimar Republic.
