Subject: Building-detail maps of Berlin in the 1930s?

A scholar is looking for detailed maps of Berlin from the 1930s with building-level information.  The usual methods haven’t turned anything up, the largest scale I have seen so far was around 1:25,000.  The general rule is to find exceptionally detailed information near the locality being studied.  I’m not familiar with the mapping projects and resources of that place and time.  Any ideas?

Thank you,
