A Day in the Life: Berlin 1890

The date is July 25, 1890. My name is Nils Hoffmann, born December 7, 1870 in Berlin. I have recently become my parents home after attending school in Potsdam. Hope to hear from a friend's father who runs a chemistry lab, because he had offered me a job in my graduation.

But business has stagnated in recent times for him, so in the meantime I have lived to the rental of a Baugesellschaft. My father has worked for this company the same building since it went into the workforce. There has been much work for him in this flourishing city. This company and others like City have spread to the point that has devoured its sister communities and made them one.

My parents, along with my sisters ages 15 and 5, live in a two bedroom apartment Kruezburg decent, a few blocks down river. Our first home, those who live in the youngest before Mitzi was born, was located in the district of Charlottenburg. Despite my parents' first car was modest, it was a lovely place, situated in a quiet and clean neighborhood. As the rapid growth came to our small Charlottenburg, became less and less desirable. We were fortunate to check out our neighborhood has been completely surrounded by barracks for rent, and before the rent in the city became too high.

Our current house is a typical stone building three stories high, with ten apartments per floor. My parents were proud in this small home. Although I realize that has been tainted with unnecessary decorations since moved away.

I woke up from my sofa in the master bedroom. I was the first in my family, it was nice for me to enjoy myself a few minutes in the morning. Lit the lamp to improve visual skills and went to the adjacent kitchen. I searched in the refrigerator, and opted for two hard eggs and some leftover chicken Milanese. I cut the chicken and is sandwiched between two slices of weizenbrot.

My breakfasts are usually more ambitious than the usual breakfast Hoffmann family. In fact, Mitzi and I are the only two that eat about anything a good breakfast. My father is usually only have a cup of coffee, and my mother and my sister is jumping, or have a slice of French bread roll. When this family feels unmotivated inspired, they will also have sausage, sliced beef and orange juice.

My middle sister, Jutta woke up next. It is a tall, strong and intelligent girl. She dreams of going to study to become an engineer. It is not beyond their capabilities, I'm sure. The difficulty is that the area study is not available for girls, especially not a middle class girl. The cost alone would be too much for my family. Not to mention they have expressed their backs would not support beyond their secondary school.

I really feel horrible for the girl, she has all the potential in the world, but has grown in an environment nonsupporting, and probably not given many opportunities to prosper. The rest of the family soon awoke, and the little house was full of creatures, including the dog and cat. My mother worried about rambunctious Mitzi, and my father picking up his team.

He went to work at my father and I was a decent ago, the air was fresh and thick. The floor was wet with dew at night. We headed down the road to catch the tram. We had a job up on the south side Schoenberg. The region was becoming notorious for filth and poverty. Plain five story apartments spread over many blocks, and multiplied out to the field. The apartments filled blocks in the form of honeycomb, with a outdoor patio in the center.

Some of my friends lived on this side of town. All families shared the house kitchens. I never liked to spend the night there, the rooms were closed from sunlight. The whole place always smelled of rotting garbage. My last stay in one night at my old friend Bruno, I found several rats in my blanket when I awoke in the morning. He was very sick for several weeks. My parents would not let me thereafter there for good reason. But I remember there was a strong support on the patio. Bruno and I spent many afternoons interact with interesting characters the neighborhood.

As the tram made its way slowly through town, the factory passed in a blur seemingly endless. This city had become an industrial power in my life. Berlin was founded in 1244. At the turn of the century, the city was home to about 200,000, and most were employed of small manufacturing enterprises. He also served important military duties. At the time of my birth and German unification, the city held 900 000 inhabitants. Today the city is home to 1.9 million, and growing. The municipal authorities are making efforts to accommodate growth by widening streets and the incorporation of traffic systems. Many of the main streets are lined with lights.

We hopped the tram a few blocks of the work on farms Schoneburg and walked the remaining distance. This area was once filled with crops of potatoes. The lucky ones have owned one of these farms became millionaires developers once the land purchased.

We were in the process of pouring a concrete foundation for an apartment complex. Our residential projects picked Baugesellschaft large scale. We have completed a project in Hasquietrel few weeks ago. That area used to be a swamp, unfit for construction. However, several shiploads of sand were transported by the river and spread over the marsh.

The motto of this company is the quantity over quality. The company pays a fixed fee project. Therefore workers faster than throw these buildings, no matter the neglect of the work, more money from the company so you can do. What is possible, unless we work in a hurry, for us to lose money to work. Although often not the case, the system seems counter intuitive. I think if we gave more time the quality of our product would increase, and therefore they could charge more for our services. However, this line of work has been busy all summer, and better paid than most other jobs.

The day grew hot as I methodically mixed concrete. When performing the same task for hours, learn to keep busy with their own thoughts. My mind was still centered in the city, which seemed to have grown overnight. The origin of this rapid growth attributable to the industrial boom. Germany and Berlin in particular had become a world power in steel production. Chemical laboratories were also emerging all over the city. The development of industrial uses for chemicals was helping us capture of the British.

Germany was an economy of big business. Only the very rich could finance a steel mill or chemical laboratory performance. These capitalists raise money by organizing companies, and the sale of shares. The executives at these corporations would be rich. Below them, individuals would be hired specifically for sales management, production and finance. My grandfather worked for the IG Farben chemical cartel, which now dominates the industry in Germany. Some other industries in Germany include coal, glass, potash and cement.

The state of the German economy is unstable. The net national product is declining. Twenty percent of companies recently Founded in bankruptcy. U.S. and Russian products have flooded grain on the German market, which has proven to be the main factor contributing to our economy in crisis.

In the distance, I saw one of the managers job to a scream of view of Polish workers. The mere sight of put a sour taste in my mouth. Most of these men wake up every morning, put in the same cloth, and goes to work for the same company, performing the same tasks in the day to day. They have to listen to this asshole, which I have found is not more talented than many workers. It makes it worse that I feel are more efficient ways to carry out these tasks, but our foreman is resistant to a new method apparently is not broken, so it will not fix them. My father and I are of equal value to this company as any foreman or site administrators work in terms of how productive we are in a given time frame. The difference is that we receive a much smaller percentage of the cream. This company is basically screwing us. Those in the top most income and yet similar amounts of work.

Unfortunately, nobody to stand up for itself because we are all aware of our dispensability at this time. The unions among unskilled workers have grown in popularity, however. Socialists have recently formed the Second International union. The Socialists have been able to unify, and now have the ability to spread their cause more effectively.

The concrete mixing continued, and I heard of another man Camper age of imperialism. Four years ago, the Berlin Conference was held. Also set the basic rules for claiming territory on the African continent. Basically, a country needs sufficient strength and manpower to control and develop there. Native Africans should be treated humanely. "It's an exciting time. This is our chance to flex our muscle and show the rest of the world Germany is a dominant force. "Camper said.

I had to admit that seeing my country colors spread around the world encourage a sense of pride. "If a country decides not to participate in the emancipation of the Bavarian land, I fear that one day they also lose their land. If I were in one of these countries passive me would be scared out of my wits. Here comes the great German team. "Roared with pride. With the sun directly overhead, the lunch was upon us. I cleaned up my area work and went.

Lunch is traditionally the largest meal of the day. I had arranged to meet my girlfriend's house this afternoon. By Usually I went home, but was near Elbia East, and her store used to be much more comprehensive, and their parents much more interesting and helpful than mine. East Elbia is one of the most class in the city.

Mr. Thalberg managed a department store, but he had inherited a large sum of wealth. Today was active in local politics as a member of the party that is preferred by Junker. I worked for him a few summers ago. He and I talked often, and loved enough to introduce me to her second daughter, Petra. We started seeing each other for two years, but it seems that they are splitting. I have the feeling that she does not care much for me but his family loves me so have remained together. Many times I have come to the Thalbergs only to drink beer and talk with Mark and Teresa (his parents).

I learn wholeheartedly welcomed by Teresa at the door. The apartment was spacious and well decorated. Marko was enthusiastically talking on the phone. No one else knew that property. I always wondered who was talking.

The maid, Irmgard had already prepared lunch, and was a good spread. The oven consisted plethora kartoffel, Curry-Wurst, bratwurst, and a dish marinated beef pot roast served with red cabbage and dumplings called sauerbraten. I chose a sampling of all the options, but omitted grievances and cakes.
I noticed that Petra was down. Although I like to play mind games with her, I found myself making a conscious effort to avoid going to see it. If she wanted to see me, I could climb. Moreover, Marko conversation is often more interesting.

"I just got off the phone with a pressure group which proposed a bill to give women the vote, "he said. Then he began to laugh." 'Not in the short term, my friend, "I said. Besides, you know, the very nature of being a woman would suffer if given political power. "I realized immediately this statement was correct. Being a woman and no political power did not correlate directly to the women were not identified by the lack of political power. For me it was simple, why was it so difficult for this man to see? If there were kind enough to let their daughters hold me hand, I would have said what I felt.

"No, look, men really women value award. Seriously. There must be someone to care for the house. Home is where the heart is. If the heart is torn, then the mechanism the family is not going to work. The dynamics of the family will be thrown out if women are forced out in the workplace, and forced to make the kinds of decisions we to do. When I see women working is a sign that your husband is not doing his job as the provider of resources. "

As he spoke, I remembered having read an essay by Clara Zetkin. She argued that only women who are treated fairly when all workers are freed from the oppression of the economic world and social. The event came into light. This man had never seen poverty. He may not understand. For most of the villagers, it is impossible to obtain any economic reason, because they were working as many hours as humanly possible only to pay debts. That is, if there is even enough work for him. With women family can not participate in making money, some families are trapped. The issues of women's rights and workers are intertwined, and workers farmers drew the heaviest burden.

I finished my meal, Marko gave a handshake, Irmgard a hug goodbye and Petra peep. Walked lazily back to work, full of food.

At this point, the sky was very hot. Feeling uninspired to beat cement, I tried again to change my focus inward, and new thinking about the city. In 1871, Berlin was named the capital. Many were upset with this decision. Others saw in Berlin as a rough place, and the Berliners were thought to be unruly and rebellious. Improvements were made in the city including street improvements and sewer system. But Berlin has never fit the mold of a capital. It is not considered modern, Bismarck provided our city with little financial support. Bismarck rarely reached the city. It usually held the Potsdam conference, which has long been a favorite residence of the Kings. In 1881, Berlin became an independent city-state of Brandenburg. The city looks very different today then it did when I was a child. It is still struggling to adapt to his new title.

Finally, were released from our obligations. I cleaned up my Work Station and went home to be washed. I remembered I was out to dinner to my uncle this afternoon, so along quickly.
I got to my uncles as the sun descended toward the trees. I was the first in my family to arrive, it was uncomfortable, my aunt and cousins are socially clumsy. My aunt was running the vacuum cleaner, and my uncle was preparing to fire.

My three younger cousins were reluctantly practice their violins. I wish I had the opportunity to learn an instrument. In recent years I have come to appreciate real music. Some of my favorite artists include Gustav Mahler, Robert Schumann, Richard Wagner and Arnold Schoenberg. I realized that children were trying to test a piece of Beethoven.

Dinner at my uncles meant a heated political debate was inevitable. I made sure to think of some topics for discussion before coming. Elections to replace Chancellor Bismarck approached. Otto von Bismarck was appointed chancellor last twenty years. He had long supported universal male suffrage. He believed that the influence of the bourgeois classes Liberals would be eliminated. He also believed that conservative policies have the support of the workers and peasants.

Bismarck was able to unify German states and individuals under Prussia. He brought all the statute books, coins, and the military forces the smaller states in conformity with those of Prussia. Laws were passed claim rights of states to restrict the religious orders, and require civil marriage. Managed to unite all education under state control, including Catholics had schools. The clergy resisted and authorities arrested hundreds of priests and six bishops. However, many of these measures counterproductive and actually did the Roman Party Center stronger. Several years after the initial attack, Bismarck repealed the toughest laws against Catholics.

At that time, his approach had changed to the fight against socialist and radical democratic mentality. Socialists attacked the autocratic nature of the German government. As the Social Democratic Party began to gain popularity, Bismarck reacted ban on their publications. The repressive tactics failed. Bismarck once again changed its approach. He tried to eliminate the causes for socialism, and to tarnish the appeal of the Social class action. In recent years, social reforms carried out Bismarck provides accident insurance, sickness and old age. Last year Kaiser Wilhelm died, and his son took over the title. A few months ago, Wilhelm II dismissed Bismarck.

Members of my family began to get home. My mother, father, sisters and grandparents gathered in the lounge room saying greetings.

As usual, the men finally met at one end of the room, and women at the other end complain to the children. The most likely continue to complain overnight. I would have liked to participate in our discussions. However, it would be well received by my uncle and grandfather, or are willing to talk politics. In general, adult women lack social skills. I am concerned, for the girls who went to primary school were no less capable than any of the boys. It is as if you never develop. Why did this happen? Could it be that the they were not allowed to participate in many social activities are tricks growth? I hope this does not happen Jutta.

As I expected, they began to discuss the possibilities of the next election. To the far right of the political spectrum are the Prussian Junkers. Since usually are elitist, and therefore few, often along with other conservative groups.

A conservative party and conservatives is free, the claims that my uncle. They are businessmen and industrialists who oppose high tariffs to promote free trade.

Below are the National Liberals, who favor a constitutional monarchy. Promote political reform to make government more representative. This group is popular in Germany.

On the left is the dreaded and growing social. They are usually workers who want a socialist government.

My family tends to lean conservative, especially my grandfather. "Farmers scare the hell out of me. The unruly drunks fucking city burn down and kill his brother do not know any better. That is why we must stay away from all these democratic reforms, will allow farmers to govern the city.

My uncle had a pessimistic view of the situation. "They will not have much influence on anything. The members of the upper house are appointed for life by the king. They have the power to pass to the heirs of his seat. Although they are overrepresented in Berlin, Prussia holds 26 of the 56 deputies. They have the third needed to block any you do not like to come to Berlin. Since fear this city is not likely to side with us on many issues. "

The discussion moved to kitchen where the family's maid Elsa called us for dinner, as usual insistent. Dinner was usually a light meal. This option includes slices of bread afternoon French cheeses, hams and turkey and salad with cucumbers in vinegar. I chose a portion of each.

The discussion had changed. "Strength of will is what allows people to survive. People who live stronger are the ones in power. His talent, strength, and intelligence, this is what makes leaders. "My father said." Like anything else, if you show that you are kind, modest and compassionate, his shows its weaknesses. Say what they want on the policies of Bismarck, but he has the fortitude to lead this country. "

Knowing my father is a champion of democracy, I could help, but to declare "Ya Bismarck, but resigned to democracy for years. He took more and more control over their economic policies mandate continued. With current policies, it is impossible that our country can grow economically. At this moment we are in crisis. Not only that, but since many are mounting economic issues, the reforms will surely be placed in the background. "

"Hey, there was nothing wrong with the way it used to be. They are always trying to change this and improve that. The city was a quiet place before Bismarck. Today, I walk the streets and get lost, in my own damn town. "There was no point arguing with my grandfather. He would not be open to something new at the age of 76 clever.

I finished my dinner and said goodbye. I went to the pub to celebrate the birthday of my friend Dolf.

Life pub. No doubt, Berlin is the beer, and in large quantities. Since the climate here is a bit too harsh for growing grapes, beer has always been a staple of German culture. Even tribal Germans are known to have been drinking beer. Dolf was a favorite tavern, which was pretty sordid properly.

I went into the carnival as a backdrop, and found my group in a final table. At first view, I realized that the boys had been there for an hour or so. Dorf and I exchanged our usual greeting detestable. I ordered a pint of Pauline me and the deer Lowenbrau an old Dorf. It originated in Bavaria, home to breuerie first in the world, and Germany's most notorious drinkers. Dorf fit perfectly with the stereotype. He was strong, proud, and a regular alcohol. I really loved the man, he was a true friend. Unfortunately, it was not a scholar by any media.

"You would not believe, Annette is selling it around the corner," said Dorf. He was a former playmate of ours from childhood. The poor girl had a terrible education. "I think I will buy tonight." he chuckled. "Are you sure you ball of filth. "

Tavern life was glorious. I like to go often because it was a pretty depressing scene. Germany is not known for great activities entertainment. I guess creativity is drawn from people after a long day of work. And that was it, Berlin was a city hustle and bustle. There was little time for self reflection. In fact, emotions were not to be expressed, especially by men. For my part, I enjoy taking walks in the countryside to relax. The majority of my colleagues country, however, adhere to traditional methods of relieving stress. The lower classes are particularly susceptible to falling into the trap of drunkenness. Many farmers drive exclusive went to live to drink another beer.

Tabernas always seemed to bring out the pride in people, or perhaps more accurately, take pride Boo. Two of my friends were having an argument irrelevant to a French man about which country was stronger. The poor, ignorant was better off indicating agreement simply stubborn for my friends willing to continue for hours on Germany supremacy. If a fellow could not find out, would have a willing opponent fight that was German.

It requires a more insightful conversation, I heard my friend Darrin, a clever Scott preaching their views Liberals. "It's the competitive individualism and lack of collective values that are destroying the bonds that connect people to each other." I must admit I had felt that way. Despite all Germans were proud, we had to compete every day. "Money is just a new form of slavery." It was a strong supporter of many socialist ideas. "Our party believes that a revolution is inevitable. Meanwhile, for us it is important to cooperate with the capitalist classes. We have the same objective in the short term. Once the common goal is reached, then we can gradually start to implement socialist aspects. "

Although their views were gaining popularity, the view at the other end of the spectrum was prominent in the pub tonight in particular. Minds are increasingly nationalist anti-Semitic. Berlin had a decent sized Jewish population. Most arrived in the last 25 years, his talents were in high demand when the city began to develop. I remember my younger years, when Germany was not a hostile place for Jews. However, as the years have gone, a sense of envy is brewing in the hatred of non-Jews.

"It was the Jews who killed Christ," Dorf belched out. "That's not the point. We Germans belong to a special race, you know. We have higher physical and mental qualities. "Explanation of a tavern called regular Oswin. Here is a man who was very charismatic, and did not hesitate to express his strong nationalist views. "You see, it is because of these natural differences that Jews and Germans can not coexist. Jews are the cause of most of poverty in Europe. They find ways to scam your money and then keep everything to themselves. This is why hoarding democracy and socialism can not work. Not to mention the fact that they are all assholes, "he continued.

Darrin leaned into my ear. "I think many Germans are wrong to think they are superior, especially when it comes to obtaining and managing wealth. Jews are simply dominant in the financial world. I dread to think what would happen if these Ultra nationalists would gain more political power. "
The night was getting late, and the crowd was thinning, but noisy with increasing intoxication. I decided to return home. I left without saying goodbye. I avoid bounces because my friends make me feel guilty for leaving. "It's my birthday, not stay out all night? Who cares if you work in the morning, "he said.

As I walked past the unfortunate slum, I saw my step. Bands of drunken, unemployed hiding in the dark. Think I started back to my reading of Darwin and the theories of Newton. I realized that knowledge is spreading. Very soon, even members of this community would become cognitive unfortunate these ideas. It inspired me to think about that possibility, for once, our people have the power of knowledge we will no longer tolerate oppression. With more members of the liberated society, there will be more likely that talent will surface. With more talent, future generations is more likely to be able to respond to issues that affect our minds as human beings.
