    Back to the cellar. Underground urban spaces of fear and air warfare in Berlin, 1940-1945.
    (2020)
    As a consequence of air raids, a substantial part of Berlin's population resided permanently in cellars towards the end of World War II. Berliners thus returned to the space that around 1900 constituted an important dwelling place for the urban poor. Based on war diaries and prose, this essay examines the reorganization of the vertical under the influence of the air war, particularly within the apartment building. The large-scale destruction of urban housing and the return of the population to the cellar are understood as indicative of a psychological, social, and political reversal.

    Spaces of Fear – Angsträume. [Themenschwerpunkt]
    (2020)
    In this themed issue, we explore the dialectical relationship between the spatiality of 20th century European cities and a particular emotion - fear: from a physically palpable fear of bomb attacks, to the fear of traffic accidents instrumentalised in urban planning discussions, to more diffuse fears such as those associated with railway stations or post-war urban fear projections. By addressing different aspects, roots and shades of the tension between fear and urban space, we aim to offer new perspectives and insights into the emotional history of 20th century urban Europe.
