So we are presenting the material we film to you now with a little late, even if we cannot travel at the moment and museums bars event, venues are all closed. This check in episode should make you want to do everything that will hopefully be possible again soon. So have fun with our little tour through the berlin of the twentys. And this time review theater was very much in fashion and to feed, wished us still puts on world class shows. And then i mean, twentys berlin became the film city. We visit the stomach and were also going on a trip to madeira. Our viewer, who been frightened, shows us the capital for, shall learn his changed again and again over the decades. But the 920. 00 s. Are still visible in the urban landscape. Were about to find out more by going on an architectural tour. Hi, im look at. Hi, im on a welcome to alexanderplatz. Thank you. I see that youve got the right clothes on 20 scale dried as much as the weather would allow. So were starting on alexanderplatz, perhaps the most lively, if not most popular square in the city. In the 1920 years, it was the center of urban life, of the chaos traffic and building sites. And that hasnt changed that much today. With the outside there was an attempt to bring some order to the chaos. At the end, of the 1920 s. , there was a huge construction site and these 2 buildings by the architect peter bare hands are the result. Straight lines, no thrills. Typical new objectivity architecture. In the twentys, there was a roof terrace on this building. You could have a coffee while looking out on to berlin. Remember, much of berlin subway system dates back to this time as well, including the famous alexanderplatz the should be about the end of the 1920 is this was one of the biggest construction sites in berlin. 2 subway lines were built, you 5, and then you wait. You can see 2 things here. One of them is the color, the architect alfred grand under had a genius idea. Color codes, each station had a different color and he came up with these tiles. You see this turquoise green everywhere at alexanderplatz. Thats the 1st thing. The 2nd is that everything is cramped, almost oppressive. But he managed to make a something sublime with these lighting blocks. This idea was a world 1st, it was later picked up in other cities. Its always a looks and book plots in berlin smith, the district plan says these square of the, 1920 s. In berlin. The different aspects of that era are reflected as if by a lens. There are residential buildings. The architecture, this late 1920, s. Construction days, culture, the folks the babylon cinema and then theres politics, the car, leap, connect ourselves, but there was balance communist Party Headquarters back then there were always political upheavals, here people would get into fights. There was always something going on the communists fought with the social democrats throughout the 1920 s. And then towards the end of the twentys, more and more communists started fighting against the National Socialists and other to our last stop is a typical housing complex that was built in the style of modern architecture. 920 s. Were not only golden, lots of people didnt have jobs or housing. There was a lot of misery. It was very crowded with almost twice as many inhabitants as today. People lived in miserable cramped conditions. There were tenements where beds were rented out by the day and night. So there was an attempt to address housing issues. At the end of the 1920 s. And a new housing policy we could do with today. Huge housing complexes were built, space, sunlight and solidarity. That was the idea behind this housing. As you can see, lots of space and a balcony in every apartment and the view of the garden its colorful. Its kind of thank you, ive learned a lot on cant you see you now we leave berlin for a moment and head to the portuguese island of my data.

Its time for my swim. The 920. 00 s. Were also a cinematic heat. And you can find out all about it at the german kinematic one of the stars. The silent film era was there also posters and extracts of films by director such as for people who made the expressionist classic. The cabinet of dr. Caligari. Film legend launched her film career in the 1920 s. There is documentary footage of the via republic too. And scenes from fritz langs early saif, i class in metropolis and found out even more about weimar cinema from the have an interest of berlin became a firm city in the 120 s. What did this mean for the population . It would offer, you know what . It was and you have to imagine berlin, after the 1st world war, there were 2 things happening at the same time. The Weimar Republic meant democracy and freedom, the emancipation of women. There was not people in society. There was an explosion of the arts and cinema that went from one Technical Innovation to the next. This peaked at the end of the twentys with the arrival of sound. You can imagine how interesting this must have been for the film industry. With this legal and what were the main themes . Can you give us some examples . Well, life for most people in the Weimar Republic was not as good as it is today. Social grievances were a major theme. But there was also a lot of escapist cinema. I think people wanted to forget their miserable lives in or be taught bedding for a couple of hours or so already. All kinds of genre films like fritz langs us, donnish inside fine film metropolis in 1027 or his crime drama. At the beginning of the 1930, download for others. Well thats ok. Thats when sound arrived in cinema. What did this mean for the industry and the stars of the moment that i might in fact, i was a guest in 51 of course not all actors were able to speak well. And so this was an issue about german films were so successful abroad that the industry did not want to lose the international market. Dubbing that we used to now didnt exist then. So what happened is that directors often made different versions of the same film shooting 2 or 3 times in a row on the same set of german, one in english, and one in french. How did the decade and for german cinema with the Weimar Republic came to an end in 1033. 00, and that meant the end of the eras revolutionary film. Lets talk very briefly about one sound film genre, operetta films, which were extremely successful. They were singing and dancing like in hollywood musicals. The nazis hated the east because they were insolent and political and had jazz in them. And while dancing this genre died in 1033 like many important weimar genres. Often the people who made or played in these films were jewish and had to emigrate. d were switching from the film to the teach, the twentys, where the title of the review shows. Its Something Like a musical with elaborate costumes and a lot of stuff. And now we will show you an institution among the review theaters, freely stockpile us with the largest theory stage in the world. It all began in this market. At the time, it was called the great theater director and producer max reinharts productions where hugely popular dance here in the 1930 s. Their work operettas, such as flower, luna, and in 1960, s. During the communist era stars such as Ella Fitzgerald and Josephine Baker fame to those building was torn down in 1918 and the lawyer fled to the shop last open 4 years later. When artist in the west such as Francis Louis armstrong, he wanted to perform at the biggest stage in the country. Thats why these people came here. Today. We also try to get big names such as the questions back in the ether reviews. Everything was state of the art and we want that to be the scene today, but its these days, the flippin stuff. The last is famous for its well past shows which attract almost 800000 koreans members each. Yeah. Design a such as John Paul Gaultier to stand walk and pat design, a fitting tracy. Have all worked on the costumes. Its incredible is that you dont know where to look because theres just so much magic happening from every corner. You know, down from the ceiling from the site is the only Philip Treacy can make hats like these. This is spectacular. And crazy and creative to you. The show out tonight, every 2 years, the current shows vivid, had to take a break because of the pandemic. So its been pretty long chill summer 2021 with its peers and dance halls, bars and pubs. Berlins nightlife was legendary in the 1920 s. It drew people from all over the world who wanted to experience the pleasures for themselves. In theater and the 2 got in district produced a show called golden years to celebrate its anniversary in 2. And 28 used to be one of the citys most Famous Variety theaters. This footage is from a time before the pandemic when audience members were crowded together and didnt have to wear masks. Its on whats so fascinating about the twentys for you, not everything was possible back then. It was a new era with a lot of dancing and variety, entertainment lightheartedness, complete madness. After the years, the team of 4 out of 4, delphi, people wanting to be free spirits have changed this year. And this always leaves trying things out. Living, dancing on a volcano and art which developed to the extremes before i too much freedom, which was exciting too. I cant really picture how it was in berlin at that time, but it must have been something that people were really good, obviously high, still fun. Oh yeah, that was my life. I Razzle Dazzle and raunchiness. Thats what was on stage in berlin a 100 years ago. Thanks. I spoke to the theater is director to find out more. Hello. Good evening. Welcome. How should i picture it . , what was the vinter got like in the 920 s. , it was exciting stuff. People freedom sounds from dated social conventions. There was more sexual freedom and there were naked people on the stage for the 1st time. Ever like the renowned or Josephine Baker. The mention of the wearing their banana skirts. There were lots of other things on the political level and certain topics were discussed. A little bit like political cabaret today. Theres a market for those of us plus what do you personally like about the 1926 . The fact that people try to free themselves from such an outdated morals or social ideas. It was an important time, and i think were still feeding on it today. Back then, it was already very common for gay and lesbian people to move around freely. Things are important, the fact that anyone can find their own way of being happy. There are quite a few parallels with today. A lot of similarity is the guns of guns in this is the 1920 s. Are experiencing a revival. Why do you think that is . I say that on the one hand, it just simply because its the 100th anniversary. Thats the banal explanation. Although the exciting part of the 1920 s. Began in 1924 or 25. So we might start again in 5 years time, but a lot of it has to do with this series. Babylon, ballymena, its become a subject for so many people who knew nothing about the time. How would you compare the nightlife in berlin of the 1000 twenties and today in 2020 . What are the similarities these wild by lash shows, with drag queen trackings, the last stripping all these things and also the shifting of different gender roles. You know, in the 1920, s. , berlin was a hub for international artists, particularly of the, of on go today. Many of their pioneering works are on display in the new object of it was one of the most important movements of the painters to dix and were 2 of its most important representatives in the adult artist hunter who make collages with a political message. This picture by automata is called street noise 1920. The works reflect a time when there was a great urge to make art in a range of styles from abstract to surreal to experimental with artists, constantly seeking new forms and perspectives that were coming back from the 1920 s. To the 2020s. Our viewer ton sent us a holiday video from the mall. These for our view may have thought, well, ive got to say its impressive. So take a look at that. Berlins foreign quarter in the mid to district is now very fashionable and expensive. Back, in the 920 s. It was pretty squally, didnt run down, but famous for its dive bars. And one of the culturing says was absinthe. The highly alcoholic drink became very popular with artists and writers in 19th century, france nicknamed the green fairy because of its color. It was also notorious for leading to erratic and violent behavior. Germany banned it in 1903. It, id like to have some place here in a few years and then you know than that. And if you like it, when someone says to nice, what would you recommend us history and traditional absinthe as a nice woman libertine to begin with. And you need something gentle with an equal the qualities good in people like the taste. Put it again. So ill go for the libertine 55. 00 and youll be the other. Theyre all very strong. You know the skit, the film for people. Yes. It starts at 45 percent and then 72 percent on the menu. I mean doesnt 98. 9 percent so its better to dilute it with water because its melts a little of a nice is that right . And all those are exactly, and this is a nice, an absolute which is made from worry because its extremely bitter. And he says i did for sweetness come, its not needing to resort to sugar or the like, little consequence. But a spoonful of sugar does make it easier to digest in very, thank you. Shall i go ahead . How is it supposed to be drunk before too long as im slowly, its a slew drink. I tend to be careful with alcohol anyway. I was expecting it to be stronger because theres water, but this one is weak. Only 55 percent. Its about 15 percent with water. Absinthe has only been legal again in germany since 1908. The roaring twentys and theyre after global approach we ended when the nazis came to power in 1933. A lot of artists left the country, the films were censored and the board rooms were closed. Well, whats left of that is a memory of an exciting time in which so much was possible, and of course, good music, art, fashion and movies. So lets see what these twentys will bring you next time.
