La Nouvelle Europe - The Civil War in Berlin - The Broken Column of Monument of William I, 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph capturing the aftermath of the intense artillery duel between the German government troops led by Ebert and the Spartacist League marines, which took place on the Schlossplatz in Berlin on December 23 and 24, 1918. The image is part of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph shows the damaged column of the Monument of William I, a symbol of the Hohenzollern dynasty, which once stood proudly in the center of the square. The once grand pillar now lies in ruins, shattered by a shell during the fierce battle that raged through the city during the German Revolution, also known as the November Revolution. The image also reveals the damage inflicted on nearby buildings, their facades scarred by the relentless bombardment. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the tumultuous end of the First World War and the beginning of a new era for Germany. The men in the image, their faces etched with the weight of the conflict, stand as testament to the human cost of the civil war. The broken column and the damaged buildings serve as a stark reminder of the destruction wrought by the fighting, a destruction that would shape the course of German history for decades to come. The photograph, though unsigned, is a powerful visual representation of the chaos and destruction that marked the end of the First World War and the beginning of the postwar era. It is a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict and the indelible mark it leaves on the landscape of history.
