Station 3: Krumme Lanke

Watch the following film.

Krumme Lanke

You will explore the competing versions of modernity offered by authoritarian right-wing regimes in more depth later in this course. However, you might like to bear in mind some of the comments made about the ‘idyll’ that the Nazis were attempting to create with this housing estate as we move on to our final stop on this tour, Nollendorfplatz. Matt Frei will make some comments about the character of Berlin’s west end in the late 1920s, after which you will be shown some footage of Berlin nightlife from Ruttman’s Sinphonie.
