Alexanderplatz seen from a passing S-Bahn train, 1937

An electric S-Bahn train slides past close in the foreground, and beyond it Alexanderplatz opens out below: crowds on the pavements and traffic islands, trams and cars circling, the curved glass-and-stone front of a modern office block with shops at street level beside an S-Bahn sign, and the older buildings across the square. Peter Behrens had built the two office blocks on the square, Alexanderhaus and Berolinahaus, between 1929 and 1932.
