20. Jahrhundert: 1914-1945 | Weimarer Republik
Culture and Reforms
"How do you live?" In the Roaring Twenties, the question of personal lifestyle is mainly asked by people in the big cities. Taboos are broken down. Dance, music, entertainment – the culture of modernity is en vogue, especially in the cosmopolitan city of Berlin. The economic situation in Germany eases. The welfare state is expanding, for example with the introduction of unemployment benefits. But there is still poverty and housing shortages in many places. And the modern times arouse the suspicion of reactionary circles. Media mogul Alfred Hugenberg, for instance, uses his power over newspapers and magazines to stir up anti-democratic sentiment.
