Plot Summary

Unusual camera angles and eyewitness accounts of the planning and construction process capture the spirit of the early GDR and the idea of socialist urban planning and architecture. The "National Development Program Berlin" envisaged Stalinallee as the focal point of a district of residential and high-rise buildings and as a model for the architecture and urban planning of the capital. The section of road between Strausberger Platz and Frankfurter Tor is considered the beginning of the construction of the "socialist capital of Germany - Berlin" and was designed in the style of socialist classicism, the so-called "Zuckerbäckerstil", by the architects Hermann Henselmann, Hanns Hopp.
