The German Urban Experience 19001945
By the 1930s over two-thirds of Germans lived in towns and cities, and those who did not found themselves inexorably affected by the ever-growing urban vortex. The German Urban Experience, 19001945 surveys the social and cultural history of Germany in this crucial period through written, visual and oral sources. Focusing on urbanism as one of the major forces of change, this book presents a wide range of archive sources, many available for the first time, as well as screen shots from films, literature and art.
Exploring the German experience of urbanism as a way of life in cities from Berlin and Dresden to Hamburg and Leipzig, this book discusses:
- the concept of the urban experience
- the built environment and traffic tempo
- the nature of the urban slum and its cultural reception
- health and the effects of the city on the body
- consumption and leisure in the city
- the city as a challenge to traditional gender hierarchies
Anthony McElligott is Lecturer in Modern History at the University of St Andrews and author of Contested City: Municipal Politics and the Rise of Nazism in Altona 19171937 (University of Michigan Press, 1998).

Series Editors Preface
Sources in History is a new series responding to the continued shift of emphasis in the teaching of history in schools and universities towards the use of primary sources and the testing of historical skills. By using documentary evidence, the series is intended to reflect the skills historians have to master when challenged by problems of evidence, interpretation and presentation.
A distinctive feature of Sources in History will be the manner in which the content, style and significance of documents is analysed. The commentary and the sources are not discrete, but rather merge to become part of a continuous and integrated narrative. After reading each volume a student should be well versed in the historiographical problems which sources present. In short, the series aims to provide texts which will allow students to achieve facility in thinking historically and place them in a stronger position to test their historical skills. Wherever possible the intention has been to retain the integrity of a document and not simply to present a gobbet, which can be misleading. Documentary evidence thus forces the student to confront a series of questions with which professional historians also have to grapple. Such questions can be summarised as follows:
What type of source is the document?
- Is it a written source or an oral or visual source?
- What, in your estimation, is its importance?
- Did it, for example, have an effect on events or the decision-making process?
Who wrote the document?
- A person, a group, or a government?
- If it was a person, what was their position?
- What basic attitudes might have affected the nature of the information and language used?
When was the document written?
- The date, and even the time, might be significant.
- You may need to understand when the document was written in order to understand its context.
- Are there any special problems in understanding the document as contemporaries would have understood it?
