The Nazi seizure of power is named in a historical note as the endpoint of the New Objectivity movement, placing the political event within a compressed account of cultural change. The evidence dates the movement’s end to 1933, alongside the fall of the Weimar Republic, but does not describe how the Nazis took power or narrate the event as a scene.

Historical and Cultural Context

The note identifies New Objectivity as an art movement that arose in Germany in the early 1920s in opposition to Expressionism. Its brief chronology ends in 1933, when the Weimar Republic fell and the Nazis rose to power. The political event therefore functions as more than a date: it marks the close of the cultural period described in the note.

Place in the Narrative

The event appears in explanatory material rather than in the novel’s dramatized action. Elsewhere, the book presents urban life through fragments of entertainment, street commerce, transport information, and public works; the note supplies a historical frame for this social world without claiming that those everyday scenes directly depict the seizure of power.

Scope of the Account

The reference establishes a date and a consequence for cultural history, but offers no account of the takeover’s participants, methods, or immediate political aftermath. Its emphasis is the rupture: a movement that began in the early 1920s is said to have ended with the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Nazis in 1933.
