Berlin Cathedral, Lustgarten and Victory Column, Berlin 1932
Above the Lustgarten rises the dome of Berlin Cathedral, built between 1894 and 1905 as the court and preaching church of the Hohenzollerns to designs by Julius Raschdorff; a fountain plays in the foreground, and the neighboring Berlin City Palace can be glimpsed behind it. The sequence continues with the Victory Column, then still standing at Königsplatz in front of the Reichstag, commemorating Prussia's wars of unification against Denmark, Austria and France. The gilded Victoria figure atop the column was popularly nicknamed 'Goldelse' by Berliners. Both structures were among the most photographed sights of the Weimar-era capital, before the cathedral was heavily damaged in the Second World War and the palace was demolished in 1950.
