Barmaid shaking a cocktail at Haus Vaterland, Berlin 1932

A close-up shows a smiling barmaid in Haus Vaterland uniform, complete with hat and headband, shaking a cocktail shaker. The establishment on Potsdamer Platz employed specially trained service staff whose matching costumes and choreographed movements became a trademark of the venue. The footage reflects the highly styled gastronomic entertainment with which Berlin courted an international audience in the 1930s.
