EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the aftermath of a significant event in Berlin's history - the General Strike of 1920. The image showcases a destroyed house, standing as a haunting testament to the chaos and destruction that unfolded during this tumultuous time. The photograph was taken shortly after the strike, which was organized to suppress the Kapp Putsch - an attempted coup against the Weimar Republic. It captures not only the physical ruin of a building but also symbolizes the shattered hopes and dreams of a nation recovering from post-war turmoil. The architectural details on display offer glimpses into early 20th-century Berlin, with its distinct apartment-style buildings lining the street. Broken windows and crumbling walls tell stories of resistance and resilience amidst political upheaval. Preserved on an authentic German postcard from that era, this vintage print serves as both a historical artifact and a reminder of how far we have come. It invites us to reflect on past struggles while appreciating our present stability.
