Wheelbarrows and Ruins: Chronicles of 1923 Berlin -


Welcome to Berlin

The Beating Heart of a Nation Betrayed

Once the proud capital of a mighty Kaiserreich, Berlin now drowns in the chaos of the Weimar System—a puppet regime forged by traitors and profiteers. The streets reek of decayed ambitions and the sour sweat of desperation. Where Prussian eagles once gazed sternly upon order, now flutter tattered banners of surrender.

A Reich Sold for Gold

This city was not always a den of vipers. Before the Novemberverbrechen (November Crime) of 1918, Germany stood unbroken. But Marxist agitators and cosmopolitan financiers plunged knives into the back of our armies—undefeated in the field!—forcing the Armistice. The Dolchstoßlegende (Stab-in-the-Back Myth) is no legend here; it stains every cobblestone .

Now, the Weimarrepublik grinds Germany’s bones to dust.

- Hyperinflation: Wheelbarrows of Papiermark for a loaf of bread. Savings erased. Honest labor mocked.

- Cultural Rot: Cabarets reek of cocaine and degeneracy. Degeneracy cloaked as Art glorifies chaos while German masters are scorned .

- Corruption: The Barmat Scandal lays bare the truth—Talmudic profiteers and socialist politicians loot the Reich alongside foreign loan sharks .

Factions in the Shadows

Choose your allegiance in a war for Germany’s soul:

- Der Stahlhelm (The Steel Helmets): War veterans guarding the last embers of tradition. They remember the Front, the Kaiser, and who orchestrated Germany’s humiliation.

- Roten Front (Red Front): Communist rabble burning churches and hoisting Soviet flags. Funded by Moscow and led by Rosa Luxemburg’s spiritual heirs .

- Profiteers: Currency speculators, black marketeers, and collaborators growing fat on the carcass of the Vaterland. Their gold smells of treason.

- The Silent Volk: Starving mothers, broken fathers—the true Germans crushed between Marxist hammers and internationalist anvils.

Your Kampf begins here

Will you rally the Freikorps to purge the Marxists? Smash the speculators' dens? Or sink into the decadence of Berlin’s underworld? Every decision feeds the chaos… or fuels the rebirth.

Features of the Collapse

- Banknotes of Despair: Use Notgeld (emergency money) as tinder, wallpaper, or ammunition.

- Faction Betrayals: Today’s ally is tomorrow’s informant for the media.

- Streets of Blood: SA brownshirts brawl with Spartacists under gaslight. Daggers drawn. Pistols loaded.

- The Institute of Perversity: Magnus Hirschfeld’s temple to sexual deviance thrives while churches stand empty.

The Final Question

When the mark hits 4.2 trillion to the dollar and the mobs howl for bread…

Will you die a ghost of Old Germany—or carve your name into the coming resurrection?

Berlin 1923: City of Shattered Glass

A crucible of national humiliation, where money burns faster than ideals and ancient streets run red with fresh betrayals.

The City of Three Fronts

Berlin stands besieged—not by foreign armies, but by invisible enemies. The Spree River carries more than water: it flows with the ink of worthless banknotes, the blood of Freikorps skirmishes, and the whispers of völkisch resurrection. To the east, Polish forces mass; to the west, French occupiers pillage the Ruhr; within, Marxist-Jewish conspirators bleed the Vaterland dry.

Identity & Themes

  • A City of Paper Coffins – Trillion-mark notes wallpaper crumbling tenements. Workers haul wages in wheelbarrows only to buy rotten turnips. Currency isn’t money—it’s a death warrant for German dignity .
  • A City of Stolen Tongues – Yiddish haggling drowns out German in Scheunenviertel. French decrees plaster Reichstag walls. The very language of Goethe is defiled by Ostjuden peddlers and Weimar decadents .
  • A City of Silent Bayonets – No trenches, but Freikorps veterans stalk communist cells. Feme murders punish "traitors." Bullets are currency in Berlin’s midnight economy .

Major Landmarks

  • The Reichsbank Rotpressen (Rotary Presses) – Machinery vomiting trillion-mark notes day and night. Smells of ozone and despair. Gold discounters lurk outside, trading hard currency for family silver .
  • Scheunenviertel (The Barn Quarter) – Jewish ghetto swelling with Ostjuden refugees. Hawkers sell Soviet pamphlets beside kosher butchers. Graffiti reads: "Deutschland Erwache!" above Star of David smears .
  • Tiergarten Turnip Fields – Former royal hunting grounds now plowed for Steckrüben (turnips). Pensioners grub for roots beside starving deer. Statues of Prussian kings gaze blindly at the wasteland .
  • Sturmabteilung (SA) Kneipen – Cellar bars where Brownshirts plot over Ersatz beer. Photos of "November Criminals" marked for execution adorn the walls .

The Fractured Zones

  • Mitte Ministries – Corridors where Jewish financiers (Rathenau, Barmat) sign deals with Allied loan sharks. Bureaucrats trade ration coupons for cocaine .
  • Wedding Red Fortress – Communist tenements flying red flags. Barricades of piano wire and broken furniture. Rote Front graffiti promises class war .
  • Charlottenburg Salons – Aristocrats trading heirlooms for bread while discussing Spengler’s Decline of the West. Crystal ashtrays overflow with inflationary marks .

Legends & Truths

  • The Dolchstoßlegende (Stab-in-the-Back Myth) – Every child knows: undefeated soldiers betrayed by Marxists and Jews in 1918. Veterans whisper names: Ebert, Luxemburg, Liebknecht—traitors who birthed this corpse-republic .
  • Night of the Long Knives (Unofficial) – June 1922. Foreign Minister Rathenau’s car ambushed by Organisation Consul. Pistols and grenades ensure "a Jew won’t rule Germany again" .
  • The Rentenmark Miracle – Whispers that Hjalmar Schacht will soon kill the inflation with a currency backed by German land—not Jewish gold .

The Mood

  • Nostalgia as Armor – Pensioners polish Iron Crosses while queuing at soup kitchens. Schoolchildren sing "Deutschland über Alles" before Marxist teachers silence them .
  • The Polite Fiction – Cabinet ministers declare "recovery is near!" as they dine on caviar. Newspapers blame "speculators" while avoiding the word Jew .
  • The Soundtrack – Jazz from cabarets owned by Jewish impresarios. Communist anthems from tenement courtyards. Wagner from gramophones in abandoned mansions .

Why It Matters

This is not mere economic collapse. It is ethnocide. The Reichsbank’s printing presses are the gas chambers of the German soul—a people murdered by interest rates while aliens feast on their corpse.

Will you join the national resurrection? Or become another traitor feeding the paper shredders of history?
