The Golden Twenties was a vibrant period in the history of Berlin, Germany, Europe and the world in general. After the Greater Berlin Act the city became the third largest municipality in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Topographies of Class: Modern Architecture and Mass Society in Weimar Berlin (Social History, Popular Culture, and Politics in Germany). )〕 and experienced its heyday as a major world city. It was known for its leadership roles in science, the humanities, music, film, higher education, government, diplomacy, industries and military affairs. ==Culture== (詳細はGerman Expressionism had begun before World War I and continued to have a strong influence throughout the 1920s, although artists were increasingly likely to position themselves in opposition to expressionist tendencies as the decade went on. A sophisticated, innovative culture developed in and around Berlin, including highly developed architecture and design (Bauhaus, 1919–33), a variety of literature (Döblin, ''Berlin Alexanderplatz'', 1929), film (Lang, ''Metropolis'', 1927, Dietrich, ''Der blaue Engel'', 1930), painting (Grosz), and music (Brecht and Weill, ''The Threepenny Opera'', 1928), criticism (Benjamin), philosophy/psychology (Jung), and fashion. This culture was often considered to be decadent and socially disruptive by rightists.〔Kirkus UK review of Laqueur, Walter ''Weimar: A cultural history, 1918-1933''〕 Film was making huge technical and artistic strides during this period of time in Berlin, and gave rise to the influential movement called German Expressionism. "Talkies", the Sound films, were also becoming more popular with the general public across Europe, and Berlin was producing very many of them. The so-called ''mystical arts'' also experienced a revival during this time-period in Berlin, with astrology, the occult, and esoteric religions and off-beat religious practices becoming more mainstream and acceptable to the masses as they entered popular culture. Berlin in the 1920s also proved to be a haven for English writers such as W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender and Christopher Isherwood, who wrote a series of 'Berlin novels', inspiring the play ''I Am a Camera'', which was later adapted into a musical, ''Cabaret'', and an Academy Award winning film of the same name. Spender's semi-autobiographical novel ''The Temple'' evokes the attitude and atmosphere of the time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1920s Berlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
