Synopsis

The authorized signatory: Erwin Koerfgen (1892-1947) was born in Gartenstraße im Wedding in Berlin. He worked for over 40 years as a merchant and later as a authorized signatory in the renowned company Loeser & Wolff Zigarrenfabriken in Berlin - as such he documented his life meticulously. Until every single statement, his life can be reconstructed. This results in a detailed look into life plans, needs and everyday planning in Berlin of the early 20th century. Regen Kontakt pflegte Erwin Koerfgen zu Berliner Künstlerkreisen, darunter Opernsänger, Literaten und Maler wie Heinrich Zille. The building plot acquired by Koerfgen in 1920 in Hermsdorf – then still a Marquis suburb of the imperial capital – became the central reference point for the course of the sometimes dramatic further history of his family. A Berlin life in the 20th century between prosperity, inflation and world economic crisis, Nazi period, occupation period and post-war emergency. A history of the Fa. Loeser & Wolff And a local history of the garden city of Hermsdorf. Illustrated throughout.
