BERLIN:
From Prussian Capital to German Capital to modern Metropolis in
100 years. By the early 1900s Berlin had become a magnet for political,
social, and artistic subversions. A lack of traditions, anonymity,
and a 'frontier,' anything goes mentality made Berlin a "hellhole
and paradise in one." After WWI, Berlin was 'it': the center
for the Weimar Republic, Germany's first democratic government;
the off-center for the Bauhaus architectural and design movement
in Dessau; and the off-off-center for the shocking radicalism
of expressionism in literature and art. All the while, fascism
was gaining ground, culminating in Hitler's rise to power in 1933. |
