There are a few nagging questions about how people lived around this time that I've decided I should submit to everyone to see if I could get some answers. Hopefully this is the right place to make such a thread.
First I'm in need of a few detailed street maps, namely of Königsberg and surrounding areas circe 1912, Berlin around the same time and around 1925, and Munich during the 1920's, as well as a map of the rail system in Germany before and after the first world war.
How did things like the census and citizenship work? How was it made sure that everybody was counted, and that everybody's birth was registered at the proper time and place? What happened if a child's birth certificate was not filed or was lost, how was one to prove citizenship?
After the first world war, how did people move between East Prussia and the rest of Germany?
What was the political abilities of women in Weimar Germany? What offices could a woman run for legally, and what are/would-be the cultural attitudes towards women trying to run for office? I tried checking the constitution before asking, but it seemed a bit vague on this point, at least from what I saw. Both men and women were specifically stated to be able to vote as part of everyone, but everyone was stated to be able to run for office, without the explicit deceleration that this applied to both men and women.
Same basic question as the above, except for economic matters. Were there any woman-run businesses, and what were/would-have-been the cultural perceptions of such?
Is there any good resource on the Low and High Prussian dialects (preferably in English but German isn't so bad)? I would assume that there would be, but I haven't been able to find any.
Lastly, I'm in the process of reading The Wages of Destruction and I'm curious on people's opinions on the economic policies during the Weimar Republic. While hyperinflation did end and the currency stabilized, and the appearance of economic recovery was happening, along with payment of reparations. My question is, could it have been done better?
I'd be happy for either specific replies to any of these questions, or recommendations for resources that would answer these questions. I apologise again if this is the wrong forum for this thread.
