Text__ggFAcKOcEd-WfYQ0GneCwQ_text=The picture shows an unknown speaker on the steps of the Kronprinzenpalais. Shortly before in front of the Reichstag, Philipp Scheidemann proclaims the republic. He concludes his speech with the words, \u201CThe old and rotten, the monarchy has collapsed. The new may live. Long live the German Republic\!\u201D On the same day, Karl Liebknecht proclaims the socialist republic at the Kaiser\u2019s palace in Berlin, with the words \u201CThe rule of capitalism, which has turned Europe into a cemetery, is broken.\u201D Most German scholars stand stunned before the rubble of the Wilhelminian epoch.
