BERLIN COMPANION PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT 1923

As always very busy Postdamer Platz, view south. By Willi Pragher, 1923. Image via Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg, Staatsarchiv Freiburg.

Another gentle reminder that should you currently be time-travelling through the 1920s Berlin, you might want to use the Elektrische (street trams) now, and not wait until August that year.

Between July 16th, 1923 and the 31st of August that year the price of a single ticket would go up 33.33333 times: from 3,000 Mark today in 1923 to 100,000 Mark less than two months later.

You can, of course, also consider walking.

Sincerely,

Your Berlin Companion
