Alexanderplatz was a quintessential place in Berlin, especially in the eastern part of the city. There are books and films named after this square. 

There is a lot more about Alexanderplatz in this blog:

Pic above shows the square seen from our days' World Time Clock. Not much has changed here, except the Tietz Department Store which no longer exists.

The restaurant Gross-Berlin in the pic above from 1932 was located in the building of the Grand Hotel am Alexanderplatz, corner of Alexanderstrasse and Neue Königstrasse.

A romantic view of Unter den Linden, seen from the Staatsoper maybe. We see the green dome of the cathedral and the red tower of the Rotes Rathaus. The beautiful linden trees (or limes if you prefer) are still there so it should be sometime in the 1920s or early 1930s. The trees were uprooted by the Nazi government in 1936.

Unter den Linden is the main street of Mitte, central Berlin that is. During the separation years, it was on the East Side, West Berliners didn't have access to it.

Iconic Potsdamer Platz in the 1920's. With a great number of hotels, restaurants and other attractions, not to mention two train stations just to the south, the Tiergarten and the Brandenburger Tor to the north and Leipziger Platz with its government offices and the large Wertheim Department store to the east, this place was the busiest intersection in Europe.

One of the themes of Season 4 of the excellent TV-series Babylon Berlin is the fight between rivalling gangs, two of them called Berolina and Nordpiraten. These are fictional names, neither Berolina (Berlin’s latin name) or Nordpiraten (the pirates of the north, meaning the northern suburbs of Wedding and Moabit) existed. But the gangs in 1920s and 1930s Berlin were a very real phenomenon.

In the 1920s, Berlin was covered with hundreds of cinemas that dominated main streets and squares. The “film palaces” built in the capital during the Weimar era, seating up to 2.500 spectators, rivalled with each other in magnificence. Names like Universum, Titania-Palast, Gloria-Palast, Mercedes-Palast, Capitol, were echoed in cinemas built across Germany.

Beba-Palast (Atrium): located in the southwest Berlin district of Wilmersdorf, at the corner of Bundesallé (ex Kaiserallé) and Berlinerstrasse. Opened in 1926, this large premiere theater had a magnificent façade which curved around the corner, with the Colisseum in Rome as inspiration source. It was designed by architect Friedrich Lipp, and had 2.025 seats made of mahogany and covered with cardinal red fabric. There was a lighted dome over the hall.

The Titania-Palast, which opened on 26 January 1928, in the transition from silent to sound film, was truly a palace, a luxurious one, situated in the middle-class borough of Steglitz, about 3 miles south of Berlin’s own Broadway, the area around the Zoo and the Gedächtniskirche, where most premiere cinemas were located.

The Gloria-Palast was a movie theater in Berlin at the corner of Kurfürstendamm and Kantstrasse, directly across the Marmorhaus theater and very close to other iconic movie palaces like the Ufa Palast am Zoo and the Capitol. It existed from 1925 to 1998. After that, the cinema had to give way to other uses, and it was finally demolished in 2017.

Above: the square around 1925. The strange tower to the right is the American Church, the building below and to the right is the UFA Pavillon movie theater. The large building to the left of the church is the Nollendorfplatz Theatre (today Metropol) and in the same building there was a movie theater: the Mozartsaal.

Nollendorfplatz is a Berlin square situated roughly one kilometer south of the Tiergarten.

The most eye-catching building in Nollendorfplatz was (and still is) the Theater am Nollendorfplatz. Its name has changed several times, it has also been known as Neues Schauspielhaus, Goya and today it is called Metropol.

It was built in 1905-1906, on the SW part of the square, at the same time as the elevated U-Bahn. Its style was labeled modern, with elements of Art Nouveau. A concert hall (the Mozartsaal), upstairs, was part of the building. In 1911 it was transformed into a movie-theater.
