Deutschland, 1929 09 Sep 2005

These photographs are simply amazing: a large number of pictures taken around the German landscape in 1929. Sadly of course, World War II no doubt put paid to most — if not all — of these scenes. But anyway… there are so many shots straight out of Hoffman or a fairy tale!

  1. Interesting pics, especially if you happen to know some of the places how they look nowadays.

    Just a technical question: from both my browsers, Safari and FireFox, I am getting links to the pictures only from the left side of the page i.e. city index from A-L.
    Is it just me or is there more pics to come that you know of?

    Thanks for pointing us to the page anyway.Pieter Lansbergen#
  2. I think the server is overloaded. This link was on boingboing after all!Ben Poole#
  3. I think a lot of the building are still there. or being rebuild by quality architects, though in Poland they often did it better (for example Brslava former Breslau, Gdansk former Danzig).
    A lot of the buildings in the fotos are not in big cities and there were not much bombing. Also in bigger cities like Cologne a lot was destroyed in 50/60ties because during that time they did not apreciate the old architecture.Axel Janssen#
