The Cultural Chronicle of the Weimar Republic is an account of
significant cultural events in Germany during the time of the Weimar
Republic. Weimar culture was responsible for producing such icons as
actress Marlene Dietrich, novels like All Quiet on the Western Front,
musicals like The Threepenny Opera, the political cabaret, the Bauhaus
School, and films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Metropolis.
There were hundreds of premieres, performance debuts, exhibitions, works
of fiction, and other cultural events that marked the Republic as
Western Civilization's first modernist society. This book presents these
and scores of other modernist inscriptions worthy of note, while
providing notations that inform readers of connections among
individuals, art works, related cultural activities, and significant
political and economic developments.
