Book Synopsis
Explores the question of why Weimar Berlin has such a powerful hold on the urban imagination. This book examines the way in which architectural projects, debates, and representations in literature, photography, and film played a key role in establishing the terms under which contemporaries made sense of the rise of white-collar society.

Trade Review
Hake covers a vast terrain with admirable expertise and poised judgment, great insight, and sophistication. In her brilliant readings of various debates on urban planning and representations of metropolitan life in literature, photo journalism, and film, Weimar Berlin emerges as the site where new configurations of class were architecturally and discursively contested and renegotiated. - Christian Rogowski, Chair of German, Amherst College
