Excerpt „Großstadt-Dokumente“

The Berlin writer and cultural scientist Hans Ostwald collected descriptions of Berlin city life at the beginning of the 20th century. At this station, you’ll will hear excerpts from a 1905 report about the big regatta on the Langensee in Grünau highlighting about the audience swooning at the sight of the good-looking athletes and the excitement before the arrival of the Kaiser's yacht, who actually had no time at all for Grünau.
