Street Level Photoworks, in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut and its partners, is opening the international touring exhibition Willy Römer: Life in the City of Berlin. Photographs 1919 – 1933.

Römer was a Berlin-based photojournalist whose historic photographs documented not only the tumultuous political events of his era – the November Revolution, the abdication of the Emperor, the Spartacist Uprising, mass demonstrations and workers’ strikes, the rise of Nazi militias – but also everyday life in the streets and backyards of Berlin.
