Allotment gardens below new housing, 1937

From a high vantage point the camera looks across a sea of small gardens, fruit trees and wooden sheds; on the ridge beyond stand long apartment blocks and a large building flying a flag, with chimneys in the distance. The allotment movement took its name from Moritz Schreber, a Leipzig physician of the 1850s; by the 1930s allotments fed hundreds of thousands of city families, and the regime encouraged them as a step toward self-sufficiency.
