Very good article in German: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Neuschul

Die Lichtburg ist kein Kino. Sie ist eine Behauptung. Eine architektonische, historische, fast trotzig aufrechterhaltene Behauptung, dass Kino mehr sein kann als Konsumarchitektur mit Popcorngeruch und algorithmisch kuratierten Spielplänen. Wer durch diese Türen geht, betritt kein „Kino“, sondern ein Versprechen – und zugleich eine offene Wunde. Und mein Leben. (ARTE, Neu!)

Georg Scholz, 'The Lords of the World' (1922)

"The concrete-and-steel structure demonstrates the new technical possibilities of the industrial age. To ensure the rapid transport of goods and merchandise, massive interventions were made in the river courses. New canals were created for the coal mines. The family of Hugo Stinnes, on the left in the picture, initiated and financed the construction of the Rhine-Herne Canal, as they owned several coal mines. As a representative of the steel and iron industry, Stinnes is depicted as a walking safe. Standing next to him is Walther Rathenau, the politician and lobbyist for the electrical industry. On the right is the American banker Frank A. Vanderlip, who, with a sharpened pencil in hand, is waiting to take notes. He visited Europe [... in] 1921 and assessed the economic situation of individual countries. Not far from this group stands a scantily clad woman wearing a large hat and hold-up stockings. She is photographing the idyllic scene featuring the Hohenecken castle ruins near Kaiserslautern and a portly member of the petty bourgeoisie." (see ALT)
