Moritz Follmer traces the history of individuality in Berlin from
the late 1920s to the construction of the Berlin Wall in August
1961. The demand to be recognised as an individual was central to
metropolitan society, as were the spectres of risk, isolation and
loss of agency. This was true under all five regimes of the period,
through economic depression, war, occupation and reconstruction.
The quest for individuality could put democracy under pressure, as
in the Weimar years, and could be satisfied by a dictatorship, as
was the case in the Third Reich. It was only in the course of the
1950s, when liberal democracy was able to offer superior
opportunities for consumerism, that individuality finally claimed
the mantle. Individuality and Modernity in Berlin proposes a fresh
perspective on twentieth-century Berlin that will engage readers
with an interest in the German metropolis as well as European urban
history more broadly."
