Au centre de l'action, il y a un bâtiment typique du Berlin des années 1920. Un bijoutier et un avocat vivent dans les étages inférieurs. L'étage suivant, il y a une veuve et un fonctionnaire. Les deux locaux commerciaux sont une école de danse et une agence de rencontres. Tout en haut, sous le toit vivent les locataires les plus pauvres : un vendeur de ballons et un professeur de piano ruiné après l'inflation. L'immeuble représente donc la société, ses besoins et ses antagonismes de classe.

In 1812, during the French period, large parts of Germany are occupied by the troops of Napoleon. Several paramilitary Freikorps units battle the French forces, among them the Black Brunswickers led by the 'Black Duke' Frederick William of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. After the War of the Fifth Coalition, the Black Hussars are pursued by Napoleon throughout the country, but frequently take refuge with the noble-minded German people.
