HERR TIETZ AND HIS GLOBE WAR
An interesting post -thanks for posting!!
Warenhaus Tietz in Leipziger Straße 46-49 opened on September 26, 1900 (exactly 116 years ago) as the first Tietz department store in Berlin.
Designed by the architect bureau of Lachmann & Zauber, with the facade created by Bernhard Sehring, it was an oversized gauntlet thrown to its biggest competitor, Wertheim, whose largely successful and then biggest department store in Europe stood at the other end of the street, at Leipziger Platz.

Or paraphrasing Karl Scheffler and what must be the most popular Berlin quotation, in those two maps you can see Berlin´s “never being” and “forever becoming”.
Please click the image below and enjoy travelling in time!
Another indication of an escalation-very concerning.
