Overview

Between 9 and 933, many Viennese writers, artists, theater directors and psychoanalysts settled in Berlin, playing a key part in the development of modernism in both cities. The contributions in this volume explore the extent to which a Viennese School developed in Berlin during this period and examine the role of those participating in cultural transfer between Vienna and Berlin. They included writers such as Vicki Baum und Felix Salten, people from the world of theater such as Elisabeth Bergner and Max Reinhardt, designers like Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and Emil Orlik, and scientists like Sigmund Freud and Otto Neurath. Through innovation, they transformed their self-image as 'outsiders' into artistic freedom and social utopia.
