Sausage-making in a Berlin butcher's shop, 1930

Two butchers in white work coats twist off freshly filled sausages at a wooden counter, with a bowl of raw meat ready beside them. In the background, finished sausages already hang in tight pairs across several dense rows on a drying rack. The footage represents traditional artisanal meat processing in Weimar-era Berlin, which continued despite the economic crisis and helped supply the metropolis. Everyday scenes of trade and craft like this were a staple of contemporary newsreels about life in the German capital.
