    The turn of the 20th century seemed full of promise for Germany. The suburbs may have teemed with tenements to house the new industrial proletariat, but on spacious new avenues in the city centres, people strolled proudly past magnificent bourgeois residences. The economy was booming, the aristocracy and the military enjoyed unlimited social prestige, and most of the population revered the Kaiser.
    Through some 800 color pictures, this book presents turn-of-the-century Germany as it liked to see herself: self-confident, glittering, patriotic but also with a belief in progress and - for those who could afford it - a cosmopolitan flair. As in the critically acclaimed An American Odyssey, the images are all rare examples of the historical photochrom process, a printing technique that allowed black-and-white photographs to be reproduced in colour.
    From Ludwig II’s fairy-tale castles in the Bavarian Alps to glamourous bathing resorts on the North Sea and Baltic, the pictures reveal a Germany of optimism, beauty, and transformation. Technical innovations and modern boulevards sit alongside medieval towns, rural traditions, and mystical forests, creating a fascinating and nostalgic panorama of a long lost epoch before the ravages of time and history set in.

      Seems like I need to order the book at our local bookstore: ISBN 978-3-8365-7619-2
      Just checked there´s another book availiable: America 1900. Dunno if its as beautiful or if they just show the horse and buggy days of the alleged "wild west" stuff.
      Buffalo was georgious at that time, just like the whole world. Same architecture all over this "plane t"errain.

      @@Nobody32990 Polish people are German, "took over" means controlled by the original people after a while of geopolitical fakery, the existence of a lot of these nations aren't organic, but are tolerable to the extent that they aren't subverted, but unfortunately that isn't the case now

      The purpose of the wars is to destroy culture and architecture, and eradicate anyone who might have a memory of how it came to be. They confiscate or burn any traces of history, and leave us foundering like fools !

    Funny how Germany was one of the last vestiges of the old world architecture and beauty until a few bad apples caused a couple of world wars and Europe was razed to the ground.

    If Germany was like that in 1900, why would Germany have deliberately chosen to wage war in 1914, as most people like to believe. In 1913, the German Emperor was praised in the United States for keeping the Peace in Europe during the first 25 years of his reign.
