Passengers disembark from a double-decker bus of the BVG at a Berlin bus stop; the vehicle’s body bears large-scale advertising for the Fewa detergent brand. The BVG emblem—the Berlin Bear—is clearly visible on the bus. In the background, partly restored Gründerzeit façades and a modern new building line the street, while everyday traffic continues. The image documents the revived public transport of West Berlin in 1955: the bus line service is functioning, consumer advertising adorns the vehicles—an understated yet eloquent sign of the emerging economic miracle (Wirtschaftswunder) and the normalization of everyday life in the divided city.
