CD BROADCAST 002 Entertainment in Berlin after World War One was described as “a heady mixture of sex, smoke and satire." Cabarets proliferated in “Alte Berlin” and anything that was labeled “establishment,” “respectability” or “middle class” was mocked. This era spawned many great entertainers, artists and of cause film, when Ufa Tonfilm was at its zenith. This CD contains music that was popular, and played in the great coffee houses on and around the Potsdamer Platz. These establishments where huge and seated hundreds of people who where able to listen to some of the popular orchestras of the day. As the thirties decade move forward changes where evident, with the National Socialists control of life in Germany. After February 14, 1934 all artists, actors, performers, musicians and so on had to register with the Ministry of Culture, thus destroying the very fabric of all that had been established before. Germany lost a lot of its most talented people, who sought refuge in various other countries. Some of the famous coffee houses of Berlin: Haus Vaterland, Potsdamer Platz (the most famous), Café Piccadilly, Mitte Halle, Kinosaal, Rheinterrasse, Turkische Café, Grinzing, Japanese Teestube, Löwenbräu All Original Materials Copyright © 2005,
