Germany's Other Modernity: Munich and the Building of Metropolis, 1895-1930
Leif Jerram
Germany's Other Modernity explores the physical spaces and mental attitudes that shaped lives, restructured society, and conditioned beliefs about the past and expectations for the future in the crucial German generations that formed the young Reich, fought the Great War, and experienced the Weimar Republic. Focusing on ordinary buildings, this study shows how material space could influence the lives of citizens, from the ways the elderly slept at night to the economy of the city as a whole. It also shows how we integrate the spaces of our lives into our explanations of politics, culture, and economics. It is aimed at those who want to understand urban modernity, Wilhelmine, and Weimar Germany, the use of space in social policy and politics, and the design of cities.
