[From front jacket flap] In a ceaseless fading and rebirth, ever and again caught up by the pulsing tide of life, this town has spread itself in ring upon ever widening ring. Berlin has been a medieval fortress and Residence of the Renaissance Electors, city of kings and idyllic home of Biedermeier petit bourgeois, industrial centre and world metropolis. Its countenance was modelled by various epochs, and its reserves of power have again and again expressed themselves in the irresistable spirit of enterprise of its people even in the face of the catastrophes of history. Otto Hagemann, for decades distinguished for his many outstanding picture documentations, has sought to synthesise the old, the ruined, the present Berlin with devotion and reverence. The Berlin of the future is also boldly sketched in. Here the life and being of the city torn asunder by political unreason, with all their characteristic features, are seen as a unit which tomorrow will again be the traditional capital of a united Germany.
