La Nouvelle Europe - The Civil War in Berlin - Explosion of a Shell at the Second Floor of the New Marstall, December 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and haunting image captured during the tumultuous final days of the First World War and the dawn of the German Revolution. The photograph, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris in 1924, depicts the aftermath of a fierce artillery duel between the German government troops led by Ebert and the Spartacist League marines. The scene unfolds in the heart of Berlin's Schlossplatz, with the remnants of damaged buildings and the ominous smoke rising from the explosion of a shell that hit the second floor of the New Marstall. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the chaos and destruction that engulfed Europe during the 1910s, a time of crisis and upheaval. The First World War had left the continent shattered, and the November Revolution that followed brought about the end of the German monarchy and the beginning of the Weimar Republic. The image encapsulates the intense fighting and the devastating impact of war on civilians and infrastructure. The photograph's creator remains unknown, adding to its enigmatic allure. The print, which is now part of the vast collection of historical images at Heritage Images, is a testament to the power of photography to capture history in its rawest form and to preserve it for future generations. The image invites us to reflect on the past and to remember the sacrifices made during a pivotal moment in world history.
