Street Cruiser


This may be my only other car photo ever except the two VW beetles and the Opel I shared recently – I saw this Mercedes parking in a neighbourhood street this summer, but I completely forgot I took this photo if it wasn’t for a photo theme called #TransportTuesday over on Google+ :-).

Tree Double Panorama


Just a weird experiment – a tree-sky-tree panorama :-).

City Views #50: Berliner Platz Crossing 1964


Another historic photo from our archives – this is again from August 1964 and was taken from the restaurant terrace of the Kaufhof in direction of the crossing at the Berliner Platz here in Mülheim, whose parking lot you can partially see on the upper right. The streets are positively teeming with VW beetles – see how many you can spot! More historic photos of Mülheim will come when I find them – photography was very expensive in these days and everyday views like this one were actually less interesting back then and are comparatively rare in our archives.

City Views #49: Schloßstrasse 1964


I promised that I would dig out some historic photos of Mülheim’s Schloßstrasse – here’s one from Summer 1964 I found in the 35mm negatives. It was shot from the visitor’s terrace of the Kaufhof up the street, back when it still was a street with cars and the tramway running through it! On the right you can see the Woolworth corner building visible in some of the previous photos, but it looked very different back then. The only other shop signs I was able to identify are WMF (cutlery and tableware) and C&A (clothes) and I have no idea what that balloon floating over the houses was doing there!
