Zwischen Dr. Caligari und Hitler – Berlin in den Goldenen Zwanzigern Die 1920er-Jahre sind Berlins goldenes Jahrzehnt. Das Nachkriegselend wollen sie vergessen machen, bevor sich nach einem kurzen Intermezzo Wirtschaftskrise und Nationalsozialismus Bahn brechen. Berlin erfahrt in den 1920ern einen ungeheuren Modernisierungsschub und ist plotzlich eine moderne, rasante Weltstadt, die nicht mehr schlafen geht und zum ewigen Sehnsuchtsort hedonistischer Fantasien wird: Vom Alexanderplatz fahrt...

Jugendstil und Psychoanalyse, Zwolftonmusik,...
