Charlottenburg, Charlottengrad \u2026 I was allowed to take part in a guided tour that focused on Charlottengrad in the 1920s and introduced me to a completely unknown “scene” in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
A journey back in time to the Weimar era<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let’s travel back to the Berlin of the Weimar Republic in the 1920s. Life in Western Europe at that time was not particularly easy. Germany had lost the war and was suffering from war debts and revolutionary unrest. But inflation also made life cheaper in Germany than in many other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cruel civil war raged in Russia after a revolution in 1917. Those who could afford it financially or were opponents of the Bolsheviks tried to escape the civil war and fled. So many people from Russia also came to Berlin; today it is said that about 360000 people came. They belonged to very different political, social, religious, ethnic and cultural groups and most of them hoped for a quick return to their homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
