Berlin 1911

The link above (click on the image) shows a rare Berlin film from 1911, made by a Swedish cameraman. 1911 is 3 years before the war and 8 years before the Weimar Republic is proclaimed. 

Still, I find it fascinating to see scenes from those years. And then, Berlin cannot have changed that much in those 8 years. It is the car models and the ladies' attires which would be completely different some years later.

The Cathedral, the Siegessäule, those monuments I find quite uninteresting. They looked the same 1911, 1930 and 2019. But the street scenes, the people boarding the trams, the café terraces, I find that fascinating. The closest we can come to a time travel.
