Café des Westens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Café des Westens on No.18/19 Kurfürstendamm Berlin, was an establishment which operated from 1898 to 1915, and became famous as a meeting place for the artists of turn-of-the-century Berlin. It was known colloquially as the Café Größenwahn; the German Größenwahn meaning "delusions of grandeur".
The café lost the patronage of many artists after management changes in 1912 and closed in 1915. The building reopened as the Rosa Valetti's Kabarett Größenwahn from 1920 to 1922.[1] In 1932 the rooms were reopened as a branch of the Café Kranzler but the building was destroyed in bombing in April 1945.
