Housewives should have it easier! Under this motto, women dreamed of a washing machine and a spin dryer from AEG, a mixer - especially popular was the Piccolo from Elektro As - or a modern refrigerator, as offered in the Neckermann catalog. Everything became more modern during that time of progress! And for us kids, the kitchen table was and remained the center of the world. In the kitchen, we did our homework, built model airplanes, or fed our dolls. Even when winters were cold, the kitchen was always warm and smelled so good. Let's remember the time when the household was our mother's pride and the kitchen was the cozy place for the whole family!.
