Weimar Cities Urban Power in Germany, 1919-1933

Weimar Cities explores Germans' efforts after the First World War to come to grips with their great cities and, by extension, measures the feasibility of the postwar experiment that was the Weimar Republic. That cities offered the republic stability, strength, and practical administrative know-how is its fundamental premise; that the offer was missed or rejected is its central argument. It thus focuses particularly on the weakness, both local and national, that resulted from the disjunct between the cities' perceived and actual power.Bingham, John is the author of 'Weimar Cities Urban Power in Germany, 1919-1933', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415957441 and ISBN 0415957443.
