Stuff I do, stuff I like
This picture was scanned from a paper photograph. On the back side was written “during the cold winter of 1940, Iggelheimer Straße at Mönchshof”. If it is from 1940 it must have been taken by my Grandfather. I do not know who the man with the hat is, also the location (see below) is a […]
(I wrote this article in 2019 – but as my old web server is going away I re-publish it here) To begin the new year in Germany people do usually a lot of fireworks. Although I personally think its a complete waste of money, I thought why not take advantage of other people burning (literally) […]
Taken in 1951 this picture shows St. Lawrence church in my hometown of Schifferstadt. At that time the area around the church was still undeveloped.

Propably taken from the same spot (Philosophenweg, you can see it in the foreground) as the previous picture – this shows the Neckar bridges of Heidelberg. Take note of the Old Bridge.
This picture was taken in 1992 by my father in Heidelberg. View of the Heidelberger Schloss from the “Philosophenweg” at the other side of the Neckar.
Another one from my fathers trip to the Bodensee in 1951. Station name is Geislingen/Steige. Check the advertising: “Haller Schokolade” and “Waldbaur Schokolade”
This photo was taken in 1951 when my father travelled by train to the Bodensee. Factory building of “Salamander” at (most likely) Kornwestheim.
Bicycle race in my hometown Schifferstadt in 1951.
Taken in 1951 – explore this picture and find interesting things – like the sewing machine at the right, the bread box at the left back or the spice jars in the cupboard at the right. And if you are tired you can lay down on the sofa at the left.
