Last minute shopping in Berlin?

• 

Wouldn't you like to go shopping in a street like this? Not only for the charming pedestrians nearing. Also to see, to hear, to smell the vintage taxis and other motorcars rolling up and down a Berlin street. Berlin was the place to be in the twenties, maybe even more hip and hot than Paris. Like here at 'Unter den Linden' yet still with a French touch.... The German artist Lesser Ury (1861-1931), whose piece, ‘Berlin Street in the Rain’ (1925), must have had a special liking for the street. Here we have nearly the same location in summer atmosphere. To get a better idea which cars were around, except for Mercedes and Citroën, check here in yet another source of Berlin 1925 stock and here (footage.framepool).
