Description
Tram conductor in Berlin 1918.
The photo shows a tram conductor in Berlin in 1918 – an impressive testimony to how women took on traditionally male professions during the First World War. As many men were called up to the front, women increasingly entered the labour market and ensured that public transport in the capital continued to function smoothly. The photograph symbolises not only the adaptability of society in times of crisis, but also the changing role models of the time.
