50 km south of Berlin lies the current district town of the Teltow-Fläming-Luckenwalde district. In this illustrated book, the author Roman Schmidt presents the history of this Mark Brandenburg town through previously rare or never-before-published photos. He provides insights into the everyday life of the residents of Luckenwalde and takes readers on a journey through the first 70 years of the turbulent 20th century. The book is primarily aimed at the people of Luckenwalde themselves. Additionally, it offers non-residents the opportunity to become acquainted with the city and learn about it. The historical illustrated book is also intended for young residents of Luckenwalde and newcomers who may want to explore the city's history for the first time.
