Who owns the street? Interwar Berliners faced this question with
great hope yet devastating consequences. In Germany, the First
World War and 1918 Revolution transformed the city streets into the
most important media for politics and commerce. There, partisans
and entrepreneurs fought for the attention of crowds with posters,
illuminated advertisements, parades, traffic jams, and violence.
The Nazi Party relied on how people already experienced the city to
stage aggressive political theater, including the April Boycott and
Kristallnacht. Observers in Germany and abroad looked to Berlin's
streets to predict the future. They saw dazzling window displays
that radiated optimism. They also witnessed crime waves,
antisemitic rioting, and failed policing that pointed toward
societal collapse. Recognizing the power of urban space, officials
pursued increasingly radical policies to 'revitalize' the city,
culminating in Albert Speer's plan to eradicate the heart of Berlin
and build Germania.
