Old Pictures

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.

Apprentices workshop of a metal works. My grandfather did his apprenticeship there. The picture is undated, I estimate it was taken in the 1920s or 1930s. Company name was “Brothers Sulzer”, later renamed to Halberg, the company finally closed in 2015.

My Great-Grandfather was a baker. In this photograph you can se him to the left. For those who always talk about “good old times”, he was about 40 at the time the photo was taken. My grandfather is the leftmost boy. The picture was taken in 1911.
