Death in the Tiergarten: Murder and Criminal Justice in the Kaiser's Berlin

by Benjamin Carter Hett

From Alexanderplatz, the bustling Berlin square ringed by bleak slums, to Moabit, site of the city's most feared prison, Death in the Tiergarten illuminates the culture of criminal justice in late imperial Germany.
