Hauptstadt und Staat : Die Finanzierung des Ausbaus der städtischen Infrastruktur von Berlin 1871–1945

Abstract

In the past, Berlin flourished as a capital city, not so much due to the subsidies provided by Prussia and the empire but because these regimes understood and utilized it as a capital city. It became an imperial city and then a legendary European metropolis in a rather indirect way. This volume examines the relationship between capital city and state, as well as the independent role that Berlin had as a flourishing center of business and finance.
