Slums of Berlin is a 1925 German silent drama film directed by Gerhard Lamprecht, based on the experiences of Heinrich Zille. Featuring performances by Aud Egede-Nissen, Bernhard Goetzke, and Mady Christians, it is one of three 'milieu' films by Lamprecht, often referred to as Zille films in homage to their inspiration. Originally intended to be titled Der fünfte Stand, the film was renamed after its completion. The intertitle card displays Die Verrufenen with Der fünfte Stand shown in brackets and smaller text. The film was shot at the Marienfelde Studios in Berlin, with sets designed by the art director Otto Moldenhauer. It was both produced and distributed by National Film.
