Description

Regina Stürickow tells the history of Kurfürstendamm in this book. Light-footed and with a great sense of remarkable detail, she describes the development of a Knüppelweg, which, as Berlin grew, became the “real” street and then became the city's most important promenade. The myth of the boulevard arose at the beginning of the 20th century, when restaurants, sports facilities and the legendary Lunapark opened their doors along the route from Charlottenburg to the Grunewald. In the 1920s, Berlin's bohemians romped here; after 1945, new Berlin life emerged from the rubble. The decline of the “Ku’damm” is described as well as its development up to the present day.

Author

Regina Stürickow studied history and Slavic studies in Berlin. After working in the local editorial department of the broadcaster Freies Berlin, she has been working as a freelance journalist in her hometown since 1993. She has published numerous books on Berlin history, appears regularly on television as an expert and writes popular magazine articles on historical topics. While researching in the 1990s, she came across the almost forgotten Inspector Ernst Gennat in old files and made him known again in several publications in the following years.
