"I am Babel, the sinner, the monster among the cities. Even Sodom and Gomorrah weren't half as corrupt not half as miserable as me! Just walk in, ladies and gentlemen, Things are going high for me, or rather, everything is going haywire. Berlin nightlife, boy-boy, the world has something like that not seen yet! We used to have an army, now we have great perversities! More vices and more! Colossal selection! Something's going on! You have to see it!” - so Klaus Mann wrote in Turning Point in 1953. It couldn't have been put more accurately. Gigantic amusement temples, the dance sensation Josephine Baker, coke and prostitution - from 1918 onwards, Berlin had the craziest nightlife in the world
