Berlin's oldest, longest, least known car-free street, Swinemünder Strasse, is suffering.

Описание к видео Berlin's oldest, longest, least known car-free street, Swinemünder Strasse, is suffering.

Thanks party to the Berlin Wall, Swinemünder Strasse was made car-free in the mid-80s. But after reunification, it found itself back in the middle of central Berlin and has been fighting to keep cars out for decades. The history of the neighborhood, once probably the largest rebuilding project in Europe, is fascinating, and the present-day struggle sheds light on the ways that Berlin's city officials tolerate cars breaking the rules.

The video includes some fantastic footage from a 1974 documentary called "Putte" made by Gerd Conradt http://www.gerdconradt.de/impressum.htm. Used with kind permission.
