EDITORS COMMENTS
"La Nouvelle Europe: The Civil War in Berlin, January 5-11, 1919 - Network of Barbed Wire and Cavalry Barricades, Rue Kurfürsten, Protecting the Approach to the Hotel Eden, Where the Government Troops Were Quartered; A Narrow Passage Had Been Left Open for Circulation" This evocative photograph captures the chaotic and tense atmosphere of Berlin during the German Revolution and the subsequent civil war, which took place from January 5-11, 1919. The image shows a network of barbed wire and cavalry barricades lining the streets of Rue Kurfürsten, with a narrow passage left open for circulation. The Hotel Eden, where the government troops were quartered, can be seen in the background. The Spartacus League, a Marxist group, had launched an uprising against the German government in late 1918, which led to the establishment of the German Soviet Republic. The German military, with the support of the French and Belgian forces, launched a counter-offensive to regain control of the city. The resulting civil war left Berlin in a state of chaos and destruction. The photograph is from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The creator of the photograph is unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this powerful image from a pivotal moment in European history. The photograph captures the raw emotion and intensity of the conflict, with soldiers and civilians alike navigating the dangerous and uncertain streets of Berlin. The use of barbed wire and cavalry barricades highlights the militarized nature of the conflict and the desperate efforts to maintain order and control in the face of revolution and rebellion. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring impact of political upheaval on ordinary people.
