Dortmunder Stadtgeschichte im Spiegel alter Ansichtskarten

The book walks you through Dortmund's history from 1880 to 1977 based on historic picture postcards. By using this means it provides for a dense atmosphere. On top Karl-Heinz Strothmann provides facts, figures and background information on the city of Dortmund, its buildings and people. Topics covered include monuments, churches, historic restaurants and beer gardens, Dortmund's steel industry, sports events and venues: life in the Ruhr area from the last decades of the 19th to the end of the 20th century.
