Weimarer Republik

I was Vivian Vance's niece spending a semester in Berlin trying to learn German. You didn't have that in your poll did you cunt?

Nein. Fotze

I was Fraulein Sally Bowles, of course!

Divine decadence!

I ran a bar and rooming house off the docks in Frei Stadt Danzig. Technically not part of the Weimar Republic. Since I was Jewish I left on a freighter to Karlsttad as.soon as Hitler got in.

I was Christopher Isherwood, discovering my sexuality and having a gay old time.

When I was a student I worked parttime in a shop which was next door to an antique shop run by an eccentric little old chainsmoking lady who'd been discovered by Max Reinhardt (Sally Bowles's dream!) and put on stage as a star in Weimar Berlin! She told me that they often had to hold the curtain at intermission because the chorus girls were earning extra marks from the patrons in the garden, and that they all used to go to the Eldorado because that was the best way to see what the Paris fashions were... from the drag queens. She said the drag queens leaning on the glass staircase all wore the latest season's couture! She also said she used to go to great parties "at the apartment of the Crown Princes's boyfriend".

I was Marika Rökk, singing and dancing for all of Germany. Or, at least, for those not in the camps.

I'm Herbert List, just hanging out with the Wandervogel lads.

I was born in the U.S. after the war. But two separate psychics who didn't know each other told me I was a female singer in Germany.

Friends do not find this inconceivable.

Things were better under the Kaiser.

"But two separate psychics who didn't know each other told me I was a female singer in Germany."

Yeah, you sucked, bitch.

I'm the wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread.

Oh [R12], you shouldn't plaster your tranny grandfather's photos all over the internet.

People may draw conclusions

Mahwene, of cauz.

I am the art teacher saying, "You know that Adolph is not such a bad artist, maybe we Should admit him to the art school."

I was Luise Rainer aka "The Viennese Teardrop", trying to fool everyone I was from Vienna with my nickname when I was in fact from Dusseldorf.

So why didn't they call you Rolf?

I'm Alma Maria Schindler. I married Gustav Mahler, Walter Gropius, and Franz Werfel. I had the hottest pussy in Europe.

[quote]I'm Alma Maria Schindler. I married Gustav Mahler

So can you tell me a little bit about that piece on Mahler?

Conrad Veidt

r20. Read "The artitsts wife". She was a heavy drinker and not everybody thought she was a nice person. She met in her life mostly every significant artist of that time. Before WW II in Europe and after she emigrated in the U. S.

In a previous life I was murdered in Weimar Berlin (no, not by Nazis) under unique circumstances. Eventually I was able to research what happened and determine the date and location. It's odd though. Even knowing it was me in some sense, I don't feel a deep personal connection with what happened. It's hard to explain. Sometimes I wonder if other people have had the same experience.

Too bad the dead thing didn't take. You're boring.

Hey it took the first time!

I still posit that things were better under the Kaiser.

Liza! isn't even a choice? Shame on op.

I washnt even alive back then, shilly goosh!

Everybody knows that a piece of Mahler's is the strudel from the wonderful Jewish bakery down the block.

Strudel. Yum.

And I'm the head of the art school who tells the teacher the kid has no talent and decides we won't accept him thereby precipitating the biggest disaster in the history of the human race.

Definitely Kurt Weil, writing some of my thorniest stuff

I'm the dirty blond school boy who opens his ass for any German soldier in the backroom.

I am Magda Ritschel (sometimes Friedlander) Quant, I am marred to one of the richest men in Germany, but I am bored. My husband cares only for business. I have an occasional affair, to alleviate my boredom. Harold, my husband, discovers my affairs and we will divorce. At the end of the Republic, I will marry Josef, Josef Goebbels

And, R34, you will be the first and most deserving recipient of the Mother Cross.

Good move, Magda!

We are Fritz and Fanny Braun. We are enrolling our daughters, Inge, Eva and Gretl in a convent school, hoping that they will become school teachers when they grow up. We will outlive all three girls

I'm the Duke of Edinburgh's sister, Sophie. I'm marrying an up and coming NAZI.

I'm the Jews bankers. Germany thinks it will impress the Entant powers if I do the negotiating for Germany. I think of it as a civic duty for which Germany will be eternally greatful.

I'm a monarchist. It getting much traction.

I'm Anita Berber, dancer and Degenerate Extraordinaire.

And thank you, Monique Classic, for hunky Herr Veidt

I am Otto Frank, a Frankfurt businessman. I am married to Edith and we have a daughter, Margot. I really don't love Edith, but my family lost its money in the post-war recession and Edith's family is solvent. Edith is pregnant again. I am hoping for a boy to carry on the Frank name

I'm your mom getting reamed by Nazi cock for half a cabbage. I let them run a train on me for a full cabbage. For a potato they get to bukkake me.

I'm the Rhineland. German industrial territory occupied by France as war reparations for WWI. Reparations imposed by France on Germany are especially harsh because of reparations imposed by Germany on France as a result of the Franco Prussian war; which were harsh due to reparations imposed on German territories by France during the Napoleonic Wars.

Anita Berber's monkey supplier.

What Culture does a great job of identifying so horrifying nazis who are less well-known, but no less execrable.

I'm the Kaiser in Holland, under whom things were better.

I was Gustave Landauer, minister in the Bavarian Soviet Socialist Republic, and grandfather of Mike Nichols.

I was Peter Kurten, and sucking blood out of my victims. I inspired Fritz Lang's serial pedophile-killer classic M.

[quote]I'm the Kaiser in Holland, under whom things were better.

I'm the Queen of Holland in London, under whom things were better.

I'm Franz Buechner.

R6, if you're Isherwood, can I be W.H. Auden?

[quote] R50: I'm the Queen of Holland in London, under whom things were better

Technically, I don't think the Queen fled until after the end of the Weimarer Republik.

Bump

I'm Lotte Lenya.

R49, I watched that film and it is very good.

Friedrich Hollander writing "Falling in Love Again."

im the cute gay boy busted by a Nazi lad who fukd me then turned me in, rotting away in a dank prison cell. help us americans!!!

I’m Mitzi, the BDM girl who, like the rest of my friends, looks for the blondest, most handsome SS guardsman lining the parade route and pushes my head between his legs for a better view. Then nudges it slowly upwards. Again, and again, and again.

I'm Leni and I'm gearing up for Nuremberg. I wish Josef would let me get on with it and stop interfering!

Albert's got a brilliant concept for the lighting. Es wird sein wunderbar!

I'm sorry Mr Isherwood, R6, I think you're a little leach.

You're a journalist who sucked the stories of your parents, your employer, your sex-partners and put them into some passable, publishable prose.

Thank heavens you had Sally Bowles to keep your name alive after you welched on your nation and escaped to La-La Land.

I’m just going to try and get through the next few years intact with my babe.

^^^didn't make it.

Despite what revisionist historians, and non-Germanic people look at the Weimar Republic with rose colored glasses.

It was not some wonderful time or all that progressive, and the way things were in certain sections of Berlin, do not represent the country as a whole. No things were not better during the 3rd Reich, or immediately after WWII ended before Germany became stable.

During the Weimar period, people were literally starving, had shorter life expectancy due to poor nutrition, poor housing situation with a lot of homeless people, high work pressure 12-hour work days, lots of unemployment, and child labor.

I'm sitting alone in my room, missed the whole fucking thing

Quite a list, Frau Schindler

I'm the artistic Expresionistic cinematographer Karl Freund, 30 years before I had to make Vivian Vance look plain and dumpy.
