Let's start off with where I am living, "Alter Steinweg", which means Old Stone-path. Named in the 17 Century. The old stone path was already been paved in the year 1386 and is said the first streets of Hamburg. Amused to have found this photo taken between 1900-1905. People bustled about "Alter Steinweg", at that time the main shopping area in town. And trams! of which its network was shut down in 1978.
How it looks today with the preserved stone path. Some buildings destroyed during the World War II bomb and were replaced with 70's style buildings. We are living in a 250 years old building which used to be Ministry of Economics and Labour.. very low ceiling.
